Fans of Joss Whedon’s webmusical Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog have been eagerly awaiting the sequel to the cult hit web series, but will Doctor Horrible (Neil Patrick Harris) brandish a whip instead of a freeze ray? Take a breath, Whedonites. The sequel isn’t really going to be called Doctor Horrible and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!

Creator Joss Whedon was just kidding when he said that the title of the sequel would be so Indiana Jones-esque. Work is indeed being done on the Doctor Horrible sequel as Whedon confirmed recently when he spoke to the New York Times:

“We’ve got several songs near completion and we’ve got a very specific structure. We’ve just all got jobs. And it’s not like Neil, Nathan and Felicia ain’t busy either. We get together at Christmas and family occasions, and then play each other our partial songs and go, “Yup, that’s still exactly as it was the last time we played it. We’re great.” It’s bad.”

So in Whedon’s “free time” between the Avengers movie, Buffy and Angel comics with Dark Horse, his long awaited horror film, Cabin in the Woods, and a mysterious “very, very different Internet mini-thing that [Joss] was writing with Warren Ellis”, the sequel to Doctor Horrible will feel its way through the ether and become a reality. Don’t worry, Joss. We, your loyal fans, can wait!
