If Favs is indeed out, who do you want to take the reins of Iron Man 3?

JJ Abrams is directing Super 8 and sell a film by himself. Spielberg's name is on their for extra marketing.

Spielberg's name is also on the trailer for Transformers 3 and Bay can definitely sell a film by himself. Does that make him B-list too?

when I mention can they market a movie on their name alone....not from the guy who brought you Star Trek or 300

The marketing for Inglourious Basterds was..."Imagine WW2 through the eyes of Quentin Tarantino" or something to that effect

This is an odd choice, but what about Ruben Fleischer. He has not really done anything I think, but he did Zombieland and even Favreau did not have much beneth his belt coming into Iron Man. I think Fleischer could work.

Favs had 3 films under his belt by the time he did Iron Man. All of them were critically successful and one(Elf) was a box office hit making around $200M. I liked Zombieland but I'd still say let Fleisher wet his feet some more with some small diverse projects before getting up to the big time with a 150M+ budget Marvel movie.

But J.J. Abrmas is usually represented like that. Wasn't his name used for Cloverfield Advertising and being used for Super 8?
