How do you follow up a box office behemoth like The Avengers? For Joss Whedon, you direct an adaptation of Shakespeare!

Much Ado About Nothing, a modern take on the classic ditches Sicily for the sprawling mansions of Southern California and is cast with a collection of Whedon favorites—Amy Acker (Dollhouse), Nathan Fillion (Firefly), Alexis Denisof (Angel) and Clark Gregg (Avengers). But all you really need to know is that it looks pretty damn sexy.

The sexiest Shakespeare adaptation ever? Maybe not, but definitely the best since Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet. You know, back when Leonardo DiCaprio was hot.
