Iron Man 3 The IRON MAN 3 News & Speculation Thread

...Because honestly, there has to be one.

 

[Spider-Fan]

We know we have no Favs! That's about it right now.

 

[BizarroAids]

It's going to suck not getting updates from Favs on Twitter about IM3.

Depends on who we will get as the new director) Maybe he has a twitter account) I'm really hoping that Marvel will announce the new IM3 director either b4 or on SDCC'11.

The Mandarin could be one of the the best superhero movie villains if they play their cards right. Somekind of a savage but cunning Zen master who trade philosophical idioms against RDJ would be perfect. A Ra's Al Ghul that spans the movie length.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

Anyone find it funny that the IM series pulls an X-Men, like when it came to directors and composers?

Hopefully the next director isn't afraid to tackle Mandarin and gets him right.

Mandarin, Madame Masque, Ghost and MM's Dreadnoughts or Fin Fang Foom as the villains.

Action, more action is needed in the third one, start the movie off by jumping into a warzone, not infront of some cheerleaders, Ghost infiltrating SE, have an actual dogfight in the sky with FFF or some Dreadnoughts, not him getting chased again, I'm freaking tired of him getting chased and fighting back, and end the fight with an epic fight with Mandarin.

Also cut back on the jokes and don't make Pepper complain about everything.

 

[Son of Coul]

Bout time there's a forum for this. Hope they bring back some of that warzone grit from the first and hilarity of Justin Hammer from the second and give us something special.

Hmm, Batman did the same thing.

 

[Nave 'Torment']

I wish they didn't go with the third film. As much as I want another IM film with Downey Jr. I want it with Favs! Besides The Avengers is pretty much the third chapter any way. Continue the mythology with Whedon in the helm, taking on the entire Marvel Universe.

 

[Vartha]

Just a quick heads up guys.
MY Walmart JUST put out a Marvel Universe Marvel's Greatest Battles set with the Coipel Thor and Iron-Man from Thor #3.

NO I'm NOT rubbing it in, Iron-man's Armor's intact. hehehe

Well Shane Black is our new director! I loved Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, so awesome choice!

EXCLUSIVE: The ever secretive Marvel Studios is in final negotiations with Shane Black to direct Iron Man 3 set to be released on May 3, 2013. As you know , IM1 and IM2 director Jon Favreau begged off to helm Magic Kingdom at Disney so his relationship with the franchise ran its course. Shane is first and foremost a writer but it's not clear whether he'll be penning the IM3 script as well. "That's not figured out," our source says. Of course, everyone in and around Marvel is keeping mum. But Black has a long relationship with Robert Downey Jr since Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. Not only did Shane make his directing debut on the 2005 cult favorite he co-wrote, but it helped re-launch Downey Jr’s career. When news leaked out that Marvel was meeting with several directors including Shane, fanboys approved. So they should exult now that negotiations are wrapping up with Black's agency WME and manager David Greenblatt's GreenLit Creative. We recall the days way back when that unknown Black submitted a spec script over the transom to Greenblatt who was then a young ICM lit agent. Greenblatt in those days read scripts by wannabes and the two became an inseparable team that continues to this day. (For the uninitiated, Greenblatt was one of the founders of Endeavor, which is now WME.) Black was the screenwriter behind Lethal Weapon 1 and 2 and The Last Boy Scout, and, in the 1980s and 1990s one of the highest paid writers in the action genre. He then decided to go have a life and segue into directing as well. Shane is back and busy now. He's working on Doc Savage, Sony's action project based on the classic pulp hero, and Warner Bros Warner Bros recently hired him to direct a live action adaptation of the Japanese manga series Death Note and oversee a script that’s being written by Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry, his accomplices on Doc Savage. So let this be a lesson to all you agents who get so arrogant about out-of-the-blue submissions: read every wannabe's screenplay you can get your hands on.

[kedrell]

That was great. He's also the same guy who did the Iron Baby vid.

 

[HighFivingMF]

Anyone hope the title is something besides Iron Man 3? I mean, it won't effect my enjoyment of the movie either way, but a new title would be nice. Something like Iron Man: The Armored Avenger or named after a story arc.

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

no. I hate it when they change the way they name their sequels.
like
lotr
lotr 2
lotr: the return of the king

 

[louiebling$]

Uhh its actually
TLOTR:The Fellowship of the Ring
TLOTR:The Two Towers and
TLOTR:Return of the King

 

[bullets]

I think he's saying imagine what it would be like if Lord of the Rings went that route. I'd prefer just Iron Man 3

 

[Iron_Stark]

If Iron Man 2 had been something else like The Invincible Iron Man, then yeah change part 3 to Iron Man: The Armored Avenger. But now, no, it will come off like the Rambo movies.

First Blood
Rambo: First Blood Part II
Rambo III
Rambo

 

[kedrell]

Yeah, just make it IM3. After that, when they inevitably recast, we can get The Invincible Iron Man or something like that for a title.

This.

 

[WildcatNC]

I hope they focus on Stark and less on Avengers. Hopefully since the Avengers movie will be out by then they can just focus on IM rather than setting up another movie.

I didn't hate the heavy handed Avengers buildup that bad. I still loved the movie, but I would have rather it been more subdued with more focus on Tony, Pepper, Rhodey, etc.

 

[Sebastos]

Mandarin as the villain please.
