Iron Man 3 has officially found it's new director since Jon Favreau left the franchise late last year. Many people have been speculating that Favreau was forced to leave because Marvel did not like the direction he took Iron Man in. Nevertheless we can expect another movie from the Armored Avenger. Favreau has another movie set to hit theaters this summer
Cowboys & Aliens, which sounds like a comedy but is far from it. Favreau's reason for leaving the franchise is that he got an offer from Disney to direct
Magic Kingdom. The new director for
Iron Man 3 is Shane Black (
Lethal Weapon). This is the second movie that Downey and Black will be teaming up with (
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang ). Black stated that will be not only be the director but will also be the writer and is going to take into a Tom Clancy like direction...I honestly don't know what that means. It does make people think of the Mandarin when he says he wants to take in a more realistic direction as well.
Jr. Downey is quite the busy man now-a-days. It is rumored he is to make a cameo appearance in one of the Marvel films releasing this summer, along with his other franchise
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows to be released this winter. Downey is set to start filming for
The Avengers movie next month, in an interview he stated "its not going to be hard to prepare for the Avengers. Just have to grow a mustache and maybe do something with the hair a little" (classic Downey).
Captain America is apparently not going to have a trailer appearence in this week's release
Battle: Los Angeles we are now looking at a trailer to be released at the premier of Thor (which i will be at...yes every single one!). There are also more rumors going around that the "after credits" are not going to have an Avengers connection to it but
The Wolverine or
The Amazing Spider-Man since the trailer for The Avengers is going to be shown in either Thor or Cap.
The Wolverine is not going to be a sequel to
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (why that didn't keep going with more characters is beyond me), but a standalone film. Darren Aronofsky (
Black Swan) is to be the director for it.
The Amazing Spider-Man is being directed by Marc Webb (punn intended much?) and will star Andrew Garfield (The Social Network) as Peter Parker. This Spider-Man is a reboot to the trilogy and apparently Fanboys are upset with the direction Webb took with the web shooters having them be mechanized rather than biological. The villain will be Dr. Connors/The Lizard played by Rhys Ifans (The Replacements).
Moving away from Marvel, the Super Bowl spot for the upcoming movie
Super 8 (still don't know what its about than just aliens maybe E.T. reboot?) has got JJ Abrams fans all stirred up. There are rumors that a longer trailer will be shown in
Battle: Los Angeles this weekend.
Super 8 is set to release June 10, 2011.
Battle: Los Angeles releases this Friday so make sure you check it out since this is to be a many part type movie; rumors have been going around that there may be a New York, Chicago, and more sequel/prequel. Pulp Fiction made its way into the news this week. The TV series Community is to do an episode on Pulp Fiction, images can be seen here:
