Hopefully Marvel will select another talented director that respects the source material. The first thing I thought when I heard that Fav wasnt coming back is "Here comes the cursed third movie in a series," but I try to be optimistic. So we'll see.
I don't know will the "cursed third movie" apply for Iron Man, because as a rule for that to happen, the second movie needs to be very good or even better than the first. Iron Man 2 wasn't neither of those. It was like TMNT2 (still, the third TMNT movie sucked...); quickly rushed out flick to grab some hot cash while not being entirely catastrophe in quality, but severely lacking.Hopefully Marvel will select another talented director that respects the source material.

Agreed. Thought about it too.It wouldn't surprise me if Favreau's name doesn't appear as an "executive producer" on Avengers title cards.
It just seems like the type of thing Marvel would do at this point.
Octoberist,
I was thinking the same thing!
That was Fox.It just look like Marvel still hasn't learned from the debacle of X3 (after the departure of Singer), and how it affected the last film.
This is very sad...
I can't wait for the trolls to come in, and declaring this as a good thing. Stupid people.
