The Los Angeles Times talked to Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau, who says they have started working on the sequel:
I just talked to Jon Favreau a bit ago, and he said that while there hasn’t been an formal announcement on the sequel to “Iron Man,” he’s begun developing it. “We’re working on it now,” he said, “which hasn’t been officially announced. It will be released in 2010.”
Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures are targeting an April 30, 2010 release date in order to be the first film to kick-off that summer, much like Iron Man did on May 2nd of this year.
Justin Theroux (Tropic Thunder) is writing the script and in addition to Robert Downey Jr., the first film’s co-stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Terrence Howard are expected to return as well.
[/INDENT] When I first saw the clips of Iron Man 1, I was real hesitant to see it. I mean, Robert Downey Jr? What does anyone remember about him? That he was a crack head and was one of the original mod asses in ‘Weird Science’. That he played himself in ‘Less than zero’ and everyone was waiting for him to end like his character did - coked out of his mind. What a relief it was to see Iron Man and walk out of there totally blown away. Downey is the shit and that movie rocked my socks!
I’m really looking forward to the sequel and hopefully Sam Jackson makes another appearance!
