Disney will release Iron Man 3

[TheVileOne]

In further reinforcement of Disney acquiring Marvel Entertainment, they've taken it a step further. The Wrap just reported a deal where Disney paid out Paramount $115 million in order to get the theatrical distribution rights for Iron Man 3 and Paramount.

Very interesting and surprising. I'm assuming Paramount is happy with what they got out of the deal, but its also interesting that they'd want to give all that guaranteed money from Iron Man to Disney. I mean this is considering that the DVD sales for Iron Man 2 were 1 million in a day and 5 million in a week.

[RealIrOnMaN]

May 3, 2013 - According to Marvel

[Iron_Stark]

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!


:awesome::applaud:highfive::awesome:

[TheVileOne]

From what I've read, Paramount is going to get a pretty good return on this considering they normally got 8% off the top for Iron Man, Iron Man 2, and the upcoming Thor and Cap. It's not a huge loss considering they weren't the producers of the movies and most of the revenue generated for Iron Man went to Disney.

[Iron_Stark]

Yeah, Deadline Hollywood said they were going to get half of the $115 from the Avengers and the other half from IM3.

Disney is dead serious about getting full control.

I hope they go after Fox and Sony next.

[hatebox]

Expect it to have an immense budget then (which may not translate into a better film, of course).

EDIT - I seriously wonder if Favreau will come back.

[Figs]

Hopefully he comes back and hopefully the Mandarin is going to be the villian.

Since this will be after the Avengers film I wonder if they'll leave out the tie-ins. I like them personally but there are plenty of people that *****ed that IM2 was an advertisement for the Avengers.

[Chris B]

While I doubt that it'll have much, if any impact on the actual quality of the films, still interesting news none the less.

Since this will be after the Avengers film I wonder if they'll leave out the tie-ins. I like them personally but there are plenty of people that *****ed that IM2 was an advertisement for the Avengers.

I'd imagine that there will still be some links like Nick Fury continuing to have a small role and maybe even a Cap or Thor cameo.

[mclay18]

I hope they go after Fox and Sony next.

They could, but Fox and Sony have iron-clad clauses in their contracts. Spider-Man is the crown jewel franchise for Sony, and they're not going to let it go unless the well runs dry. Same for Fox's X-Men franchise, to a lesser degree.

[Iron_Stark]

Expect it to have an immense budget then (which may not translate into a better film, of course).

EDIT - I seriously wonder if Favreau will come back.

:whatever:

Of course anything they put out will not turn out into a better film according to you.

Favreau will be back, there has been NOTHING that has led anyone to believe otherwise.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Very surprised they have set a release in May 2013, that seems a bit soon after Avengers to me personally, I dont want this one to feel rushed like IM2 did.

[RealIrOnMaN]

Old facts & ideas for Iron Man III, that still sound awesome:

http://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel/i/content/14410header_new_main7438756.jpg

Q: Pick the next villain. Whom do you want?

Robert Downey Junior: Well, I don't know if it's so much the nemesis that I would think about as much as what the character's genesis is and what kind of technology he acquires.

Where do you find him at the beginning, and where does he have to go at the end? Because you still want to save space for the next. But very few fans, me one of them, would disagree that Mandarin was probably Tony Stark's greatest nemesis. Mandarin is badass.

Jon Favreau: "What happens with Rhodey, what happens with War Machine, all that stuff? And then of course the pantheon of villains (Iron Man 2) and the larger Mandarin story.

The problem with the Mandarin is that the way it's depicted in the comic books, you don't want to see that. He has 10 magical rings — that just doesn't feel right for our franchise. So it's either tech-based, or the rings are not really rings.

But maybe with 'Thor' and all those others, you'll introduce magic to that world and it won't seem so out of place." "

[RealIrOnMaN]

Here are some interesting thoughts from HF.com about yesterday's announcement:

http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTpV87BJASrn6LzOhChPBo9gq8jjxHkR eHJdGwOJ8BKhU9y6ao&t=1&usg=__ZKZp6l6yp1Q93Wo99xpasI1njsg=

Will Jon Favreau return to direct?
He'll be finished with "Cowboys and Aliens" so it's possible.

Does this mean Robert Downey, Jr. is shooting two films as "Iron Man" back-to-back?
Could be. Hope they increased his paycheck from the original contract.

Who will the villain be this time around?
Could the Mandarin, who was hinted at in the original picture, actually appear on screen?

Does this mean no War Machine in "The Avengers"?
Probably. Did you see Don Cheadle on the Comic-Con stage this summer? No, so look for James Rhodes to return in 2013.

Will it be in 3-D?
You're right. Dumb question. Of course it will be.

[Iron_Stark]

Very surprised they have set a release in May 2013, that seems a bit soon after Avengers to me personally, I dont want this one to feel rushed like IM2 did.

How is it going to be rushed? Favreau isn't doing the Avengers, pretty much all he has to know is how the Avengers will end.

lol at people acting like this is a rush job ala the Superman reboot.

But the thing they need to drop from the third is War Machine. We would've gotten more action sequences and more focus on the enemies had he not of been in it.

As much as I liked seeing War Machine I have to agree. Not to mention, I have a huge feeling Marvel will try to milk it and give him his own spinoff movie.

People said IM2 wouldnt be rushed, it was, Favreau has to wait to see what happens in Avengers, which will only give him a year to do IM3, how is that in anyway a good thing?

[Iron_Stark]

lol, you really think he's not going to know how the Avengers ends by the end of March or when filming ends? You really think Marvel's going to keep him in the dark? LOL He's got access to all the movies, hell he saw Cap and Thor storyboards even before both Chris' were even cast.

Really, why does he even have to wait for the Avengers? All he really needs to know is if Tony's alive at the end of the film.

And isn't everyone b***ing how Iron Man should be a stand alone film? So what's the problem with starting on part 3 after he finishes Cowboys and Aliens.

I swear people find the dumbest excuses to cry and moan.

[TheVileOne]

That's kind of my one problem with Favreau. People whined about him not doing Avengers but then he's the one that's completely hands off to anything that's not "real" or "tech-based" in the Iron Man movies. A guy like that CAN NOT do Avengers.

[Iron_Stark]

Agreed, Favreau (as much as I like him) would've been wrong for the Avengers.

He should just stick to his tech based Iron Man movies.

Just do tech based Iron Man vs tech based Mandarin (which is how it IS in the comics) and don't worry about magic and all that other stuff in the Avengers movie.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

And I swear people find the dumbest reasons to protect and defend everything Marvel does, I know you thought IM2 was 'Teh BeSt movIe eVer,' but some people, including myself, found it dissapointing, and I dont want that happening with IM3, okay?

[Hypestyle]

So, will Marvel/Disney do the right thing and hire Favreau to direct part 3? Is Cheadle confirmed for part 3? who will write the film? Favreau should be involved.. and yeah, if possible, Matt Fraction..
who will be the villain(s?)

They should not force the Demon in a bottle storyline.. too many fans have fetishized that.. They need to have the Mandarin if at all possible..

[Iron_Stark]

And I swear people find the dumbest reasons to protect and defend everything Marvel does, I know you thought IM2 was 'Teh BeSt movIe eVer,' but some people, including myself, found it dissapointing, and I dont want that happening with IM3, okay?

Have I ever said it was 'Teh BeSt movIe eVer,' ? Please quote me on that. IM2 deserved it's fair share of criticisms just like any movie made.

The main thing that was disappointing, again, were the action sequences, Tony and Ivan's second encounter should've been at the bday part with Vanko sporting a Mark II armor that looked like triangular faceplate armor he has in the comics and him kicking Tony's drunk ass all over the place leaving him alive because he had something better in store for him or him remembering Hammer's "you just don't kill the guy" quote. Then the final encounter should have been obviously at the expo, with Hammer introducing the drones and Vanko and then Vanko being the one that starts destroying the Expo and Tony getting there just in time to save the day.

Like I've said before, they should never have added War Machine. They should've focused more on Tony and the villains. but oh no, lets add in War Machine so we can please fanboys who thought "teh armour was awezum in teh comix" and Iron Man can't do this alone crap.

Part 2 didn't suffer from too many villains, it suffered from too many damn heroes. Hopefully they learn from their mistakes.

And seriously, you really think Jon isn't going to know what happens or how the Avengers ends by the time he's done with Aliens and Cowboys? wtf, is RDJ going to say "nah ah, you're going to have to wait until the movie comes out like everyone else to know what happens in the Avengers".

They already did their own take on DiaB and they don't need to go all Leaving Las Vegas on us.

During IM2's promotion Jon and RDJ kept talking about Mandarin being in the 3rd one.



Part 3 doesn't need anymore BSing around with too many unneeded heroes or upcoming teamup movies, Iron Man vs Mandarin needs to happen.

[Son of Coul]

People said IM2 wouldnt be rushed, it was, Favreau has to wait to see what happens in Avengers, which will only give him a year to do IM3, how is that in anyway a good thing?
Hahaha, like they're gonna give him one year to make an Iron Man movie. That's ****in' impossible! You know how they've been planning and writing the Avengers for months even though the Thor trailer hasn't even debuted yet and Cap's not even done shooting? Yeah.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

He might know the ending in the script, but who's to say Whedon wont change that during shooting? Do you how many movies in the past have filmed about 5 endings and only gone with a particular one at the last minute?

[Iron_Stark]

He might know the ending in the script, but who's to say Whedon wont change that during shooting? Do you how many movies in the past have filmed about 5 endings and only gone with a particular one at the last minute?

ok man, just keep thinking Jon Favreau isn't going to have any inside info on the movie, just keep thinking he, Feige and Whedon won't get together sometime next year or at least him and Feige. Because at the end of the day after Whedon, Feige IS going to know what happens in ACT I, ACT II and ACT III of the Avengers and how that movie is going to end and what Iron Man will be doing.

So yeah just keep thinking Jon is going to be completely in the dark until the Avengers premiere.

LOL

[Excelsior.]

But the thing they need to drop from the third is War Machine. We would've gotten more action sequences and more focus on the enemies had he not of been in it.

Wrong. War Machine wasn't the problem. The problem was Fury and Widow. They should've used those precious minutes to expand upon Vanko's character. Or at least increase the running time of the film by ten minutes.

[Iron_Stark]

Wrong. War Machine wasn't the problem. The problem was Fury and Widow. They should've used those precious minutes to expand upon Vanko's character. Or at least increase the running time of the film by ten minutes.

Yes he was, instead of Tony and Rhodey fighting, they could've had Vanko attacking Stark again. Instead of making Tony realize his out of control lifestyle will endanger people because a super villain crashed his party and hurt people, we get a play fight with Rhodey. At the expo, Hammer should've introduced the drones followed by the big daddy drone/suit, Whiplash v.3, then Whippy and the drones should've started f-ing stuff up at the expo with Tony getting there just in time to have them chase him. Maybe then we would've seen the final Whiplash suit for more than one freak'n minute.

At the end of the day all we got was a villain that attacks Tony in the beginning of the movie and doesn't see him again until the end. Instead of the scenes where Rhodey is pimping out the suit with the military, those could've been used to expand on Vanko's character.

Instead of them spending their money on making a War Machine suit, the cgi for the suit, and the promotion for War Machine, all of that could've gone towards Whiplash and some better looking suits.

Mickey Rourke/Vanko had the potential to be a great villain the likes of Heath/Joker, Molina/Doc Ock, McKellan/Magneto etc. instead he was reduced to a glorified cameo.

Whiplash seriously got the shaft in favor of War Machine.

[chiefchirpa]

The end battles should be like:
1. WM alone vs remaining drones.
2. IM alone vs Whiplash/Crimson Dynamo.

Oh WM is not a problem at all. It sells toys & it should have performed the job nicely.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

ok man, just keep thinking Jon Favreau isn't going to have any inside info on the movie, just keep thinking he, Feige and Whedon won't get together sometime next year or at least him and Feige.

So yeah just keep thinking Jon is going to be completely in the dark until the Avengers premiere.

LOL

Of course he is going inside knowledge, did I say he wouldnt? No, but because i'm showing a little concern at people you apparently love you're getting your knickers in a twist. But as I said, during the filming process things in the script change as does the ending often, and Favreau will have other movies on his mind other than Avengers, again my point is I dont want this rushed like IM2 was.

[Iron_Stark]

The end battles should be like:
1. WM alone vs remaining drones.
2. IM alone vs Whiplash/Crimson Dynamo.

Oh WM is not a problem at all. It sells toys & it should have performed the job nicely.

Yes he was a problem, a huge problem, he took away from both Iron Man and Whiplash. Whiplash especially.

And yes that's WM was brought into this movie, to sell toys and so people can see that Iron Man can work well with others. He really served no purpose in the story, take him out and nothing would've changed.

I wanted to see a progression with the Whiplash suit

Monaco scene

http://i52.tinypic.com/e5r0pt.jpg

Second encounter, a suit similar to this

http://i55.tinypic.com/24ytpom.jpg

Final encounter against a badass Crimson Dynamo/Whiplash suit.

Instead we only got the Monaco scene, a play fight with the Mark II and IV armors and a one minute fight at the end against a generic looking suit that I can't even find an image on google.

What does script changes have to do with anything? Jon probably won't start with Iron Man until late summer when he's done with Cowboys and Aliens, by then for sure Fiege will know how the Avengers ends.

If anyone's getting their knickers in a twist it's you.

[TheVileOne]

Well we don't even know that Jon Favreau will be involved in Iron Man 3.

[Chris B]

Then the final encounter should have been obviously at the expo, with Hammer introducing the drones and Vanko and then Vanko being the one that starts destroying the Expo and Tony getting there just in time to save the day.

I didn't have a problem with the inclusion of War Machine, but I do agree that they should've done something along the lines of what your describing here with Whiplash. The whole party scene as it is in the actual film has always been a weak point of IM2, IMO.

[TheVileOne]

You guys are bemoaning Whiplash when with the first movie to us it was a FOREGONE CONCLUSION that we would eventually see War Machine. They even ****ing telegraph, HEY WAR MACHINE IN THE NEXT MOVIE, in the third act of the first one. So don't act like we didn't expect or didn't want to see War Machine.

[Dark Raven]

Yes he was, instead of Tony and Rhodey fighting, they could've had Vanko attacking Stark again. Instead of making Tony realize his out of control lifestyle will endanger people because a super villain crashed his party and hurt people, we get a play fight with Rhodey.

Whiplash seriously got the shaft in favor of War Machine.

I agree. Tony should've fought Vanko at that party instead of War Machine. It would've been great to see an actual fight where Stark isn't firing fully on all cylinders because he is drunk, and getting trashed. Vanko would've become arrogant and Stark might've loss confidence both in himself and in the eyes of the public. Then, it would be a rematch at the end when Tony has sobered up. There would've been a real sense of danger and it wouldn't have seemed so hokey and embarrassing.

[RealIrOnMaN]

Robert Downey, Jr. is cool with the news that Disney will release his next Iron Man movie. Disney is exercising their control of Marvel to release Iron Man 3 and The Avengers. At a press conference for his latest film, Due Date, Downey was enthusiastic about the Marvel developments.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v497/spidermedia/PRO7.jpg

“Love it!” Downey exclaimed. “What’s that mean?”

After the explanation that Disney would indeed distribute Iron Man 3, Downey gave a real answer. “Well, you know what? I really loved our relationship with Paramount, but to me the main thing is I don’t care about any of that. They’re (Marvel Studios) going to make all those movies. I just want to make a great movie.”

And then, being Robert Downey Jr., he brought it back on message. “Thanks to my tutelage under two guys who know how to play with power, Zach [Galifianakis] and Todd [Phillips], I know exactly what to do with Iron Man 3… That was almost mad with power.”

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

What does script changes have to do with anything? Jon probably won't start with Iron Man until late summer when he's done with Cowboys and Aliens, by then for sure Fiege will know how the Avengers ends.

If anyone's getting their knickers in a twist it's you.

No i aint, as usual you are getting angry because someone dares to question your beloved franchise.

On movies like this, script changes happen on a daily basis, during filming, if Whedon suddenly decides to change some plot points at the last minute, which happens with blockbusters all the time, and they are already filming IM3, do you really think they are going to have time to do major re-shoots that maybe necessary? Its a valid concern, especially with the way IM2 turned out.

lmao, I'm not getting angry, seems you are though.

But I guess since you're the only one that knows anything about making movies and the people at Marvel are as dumb as a box of rocks, the whole thing is doomed. :whatever:

[Son of Coul]

If they were mid-shooting IM3, Feige wouldn't let Whedon make any major changes to Stark's story/outcome. They're not dumb.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

But I guess since you're the only one that knows anything about making movies and the people at Marvel are as dumb as a box of rocks, the whole thing is doomed. :whatever:

Well, let look at it, they have made 3 movies and only one of them has had universal praise and unbridled success. IM2 had a good take, but either way, against what was projected, it was a dissapointment in both performance and the movie itself. And the less said about the handling of TIH and the whole Norton situation the better, not exactly the experts you make them out to be are they?

[Iron_Stark]

If they were mid-shooting IM3, Feige wouldn't let Whedon make any major changes to Stark's story/outcome. They're not dumb.

Apparently they are, apparently they don't have e-mails, cell phones, conference call phones, or any other type of way to communicate with each other. I guess they're stuck in the 1800s where they have to write a letter and deliver it on horseback.

Apparently Favreau is going to have to wait until May 4, 2012 to even get started on anything. Hopefully he goes to the midnight screening so he can get a day head start.

Riiiight because making 312 dom, 621 ww and selling 5 million dvds in one week is such a huge disappointment. :whatever: Oh wait I don't want to name names, but weren't there people that kept saying IM2's take was going to hurt the dvd release, yet it ended selling 1 1/2 million more than it's predecessor. Such a huge disappointment. Also RDJ was on the Jay Leno Show 2 nights ago promoting Due Date, and Jay had a montage of RDJ's movies and guess which one got the biggest applause and cheers. Yeah so much for people not liking it.

And I guarantee Marvel knows more than the keyboard warriors that come on here and try to tell them how to do their jobs.

[Son of Coul]

:up:

[kedrell]

I thought War Machine, Black Widow & Nick Fury were all well placed in the movie and all helped reinforce the theme of the lone gunslinger not being the way that the hero should go and that Tony should rely on others and trust them to help carry his burden. But even so, I definitely think Whiplash got a bit shafted in the movie. Now this could have been fixed by simply adding another 10-20 minutes(which would still have made it less than 2 & 1/2 hours long and thus not such a big deal, IMO) to give Whiplash more screentime.

Also, shouldn't we have an IM3 sub forum now? The movie is confirmed.

[Tony Stark]

Good deal for Marvel Disney. Disney can promote the hell out of the film, in ways that Marvel could not do on their own, and Paramount had no vested interest because they were getting a small percentage of the profits compared to Marvel.

Hopefully they can get back their other properties, it's just going to take some cash. 115 mil is chump change compared to what Marvel/Disney stand to make on that investment.

[chiefchirpa]

Daniel and Charlie Knaufs for screenwriters.

[Excelsior.]

Ha ha. Dream on.

So?

Read the thread title - Iron Man 3 is still coming up. Ang Lee Hulk is the disappointment, not IM franchise or Marvel Studios films.

[kaijunexus]

Best one I could find...

[Son of Coul]

Never mind the Black Widow fight, Drones air fight, and Drones ground fight. There was plenty of action to keep me satisfied, a hell of a lot more than the first.
