Gordon-Levitt is not new to directing, his first film as director was the 2013 Don Jon, which he also wrote and stared in, so he has at least proven he can pull double duty.

But Gordon-Levitt seems to be on the right path as revealed during a Reddit AMA. The actor shared part of his relationship with the original writer for the epic comic series, "Neil has been extremely big hearted with me, and he's the one I want to please most."
