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

Whedon will do it right after Avengers and in doing so will prove the talent Favs infact has or doesn't.

[Sawyer]

You guys are really expecting way too much of Joss.

Those are my top 2 picks. I wouldn't choose one over the other.

He should do the Heroes for Hire movie

Agreed. I don't understand why people are thinking Whedon will do IM3.

Wait...wha....are you serious?????

[Majik1387]

I can see Whedon helping out whoever will be hired to direct IM3, but realistically speaking, I don't see him directing it himself.

[roach]

Anyone expecting Whedon to direct IM3 does not know how the film making process works

I agree, and with that said, I can safely say that Whedon's a much more realistic choice than J.J. Abrams or Steven Spielberg.

The funny thing is that in the writer's thread for Iron Man 3 for who do you want to be a screenwriter, someone said Aaron Sorkin. Someone obviously didn't know the kind of stories Sorkin writes (and that Sorkin doesn't go anywhere near writing any story that could even be closely considered fantasy).

[roach]

The director of IM3 will be C-list at best...scratch Spielberg, Nolan, Abrams, Snyder, Cameron and Bay off the list

[TheVileOne]

Sam Raimi.

[RealIrOnMaN]

@ManMadeMoon (Duncan Jones - director of Moon & Source Code)
What did you think of Iron Man 2?

I know that it's very far from confirmation or something serious like that, but the fact that he cares about it makes me happy & wonder, whether he'll want to try himself as the director of Iron Man 3, should Source Code succeed both critically & financially.

I think that's giving the series too little credit. Big Budget franchise, big name lead actor and cast. I'm seeing at best B-list.

Who would even want Nolan to direct IM3? Tsk Tsk...

I was joking.

I don't see Joss Whedon doing IM3. IM3 is probably going to be targetted for 2013, I would imagine. If that is the case, and IM3 begins the Post-Avengers being formed in filmverse, then IM3 will be way into production even before Avengers is done. That means, Joss can't do it.

Marvel will bring in someone new for IM3, I would bet money on it.

[kedrell]

My sig, dammit!

[Parker Wayne]

Look at some of my post on the last page

[Spider-Fan]

I think Marvel may get a b-list director for IM3. I wouldn't call Branagh or JJ C-list directors, yet they're doing Marvel films right now. Marvel clearly won't go A-list, but they've had no problem working with B-list directors. But, I don't care what list the director for IM3 comes from. I just care that he has the right vision needed for this Marvel universe post-Avengers existing. IM3 is going to be a very interesting film for that reason. Much like IM1 defined this new Marvel universe (before its sequel becoming a commercial for Avengers), it appears IM3 will be charged with defining this new Marvel universe, again. It's easy when these characters can all be involved and act as a unit in one film, but how will solos work when this world of a "team" exists? I am very interested to see this. Like I said, it has to be explained why Iron Man just doesn't call Thor to pound the Mandarin.

I consider Branagh and JJ c-list directors...its nothing about their talent but where they are in the mindset of the GA.
A list directors are those who can market a movie themselves....Spielberg, Cameron, Tarantino have marketed movies based on their vision.

B list are directors on their way up or down...Abrams and Snyder are on their way up while M Night is on his way down...if he isnt already c-list

So when I mention c list its not a slam against JJ or Branagh its just they dont have anything within the last few years they can point to that the GA remembers them for

[Parker Wayne]

To be honest, I thought about that but I don't think people will care about the whole "Why don't Iron Man get help" to fight the Mandarin. With that said, they should just establish that the other heroes are busy with their own conflicts.

But, they are still people popular in Hollywood circuits. Hence why I don't see them as C-list.

I agree, that is what they should do, but it must be explained no less. I'd use it to maybe reference things that happen in other solo sequels (like say Cap is busy in wherever Cap 2 takes place, or Thor for Thor 2, etc).

popularity in Hollywood is based on what have you done for me lately....neither one has anything recent that the GA remembers....yes JJ did come in to finish Wolfman late but its still his name on it.

Can they market a movie on their own...no
do they have anything recent to show off...no
they are c-list and if these movies are good they may move up

[Spider-Fan]

B-list directors can't sell a movie themselves, either. Not even a guy like Abrams gets people to see his movies outside of us just because it is him. Didn't help MI3. Only when you go into the A-list do directors sell a movie based on name.

exactly...b-list people are either on their way up or down.

which is why Spielberg's name appears on Super 8
