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.

Shane Black is such a perfect fit for this series.

Fresh Prince · 02-18-2011, 12:08 PM

I liked what last part of the article said, read every wannabe script. Its so true may find something good. Anyways Shane Black is right for the series and LW films and LBS were awesome.

We might have to register Tony Stark as a lethal weapon.

ScottysAir · 02-18-2011, 05:39 PM

Could be very interested to watched new Iron Man 3 movie. I wasn't sure about this one. If there is a possible to started new Star Wars: Episode 7, 8, 9.

Coulson080101112 · 02-19-2011, 07:40 AM

I think Ken Wannatabe who played the Ra's Al Ghul decoy in Batman Begins would be a good choice for The Mandarin

Really? This is willing able to plays the movies? I wasn't sure if Ken Wannatabe will able join Dark Knight Rises. If he does have a chance to plays the movies.

Jason Krueger · 02-20-2011, 06:56 AM

His character from Batman Begins is dead so there's no chance of him appearing in Rises.

EXCLUSIVE: Drew Pearce has been chosen by Marvel Studios to write Iron Man 3. Robert Downey Jr. will reprise his signature Tony Stark role, and Marvel recently locked Downey's Kiss Kiss Bang Bang helmer Shane Black to direct. Pearce got the job after writing the script for Runaways, a Marvel project based on the cult comic by Lost writer Brian K. Vaughan about children of super villains who try to use their evil powers for heroic purposes. Pearce is the British writer who created the irreverent UK TV series No Heroics, about a bar hangout for superheroes, who aren't allowed to use their superpowers while drinking. That project had Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist director Pete Sollett attached and seemed on a fast track. It is still at Marvel, but the company is concentrating on its other big superhero franchises first.

Pearce is in talks to jump on one of Marvel's biggest hits, and I'm told the plan is for him to start from scratch and work closely with Black. Iron Man 3 will be released May 3, 2013 through Disney.

Clark Savage Jr · 03-31-2011, 10:39 PM

I haven't had a chance to see the NO HEROICS series. So I don't know if this writer is good or not (I'm afraid the name doesn't ring a bell for me). Don't know if this latest news is good or not at this time.

“The storyline is being described by writer-director Shane Black as being a Tom Clancy-thriller,” says the call-out, “with Iron Man fighting real world villains.”

That's... better.

Quote:

Black is also quoted on what Marvel are looking for him to resolve, after the muted response to Iron Man 2.

“The studio wasn't happy with the result of Iron Man 2,” he said. “That pretty much came about due to a rushed production schedule in an attempt to hit a release date rather than simply make a good film, but I digress. Iron Man 3 will not be another, ‘two men in iron suits fighting each other.’”

Wow. That is the best possible news about this movie.

Henri Ducard · 03-26-2012, 01:44 PM

Very promising.

Wyldstaar · 03-26-2012, 07:28 PM

Glad to hear that they recognize there's more out there for Tony to face than just other baddies trying to create knock-offs of his suit. The desire of others to emulate Stark's success outside of Stark Industries certainly makes sense, but now that they've dealt with that concept it's time to move on. Plenty of other story possibilities out there.

Neverending · 03-26-2012, 07:39 PM

Indeed. And I like that Tony will face grounded villains again, like in the original.

Quote:

Ben Kingsley, who starred in last year's Hugo and who is now filming Ender's Game, is said to be in final negotiations to play the villain in Shane Black's Iron Man 3. Variety has the news, saying that Kingsley's part is that of someone tied to nanobot technology and is specifically not the comic book foe, the Mandarin.

Written by Drew Pearce and Black, Iron Man 3 will again star Robert Downey as Tony Stark and Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts. It is slated to begin production shortly in North Carolina with a release date of May 3, 2013.

Doomsday · 04-09-2012, 08:50 PM

Nice, I like Ben Kingsley a lot.

Neverending · 04-09-2012, 10:36 PM

I wonder if he'll be connected to the Ten Rings.

I hope so. It would be nice if they could tie this to the first film.

Neverending · 04-10-2012, 10:39 AM

Yup. We need Iron Man blowing up tanks in the Middle East again.

thebtskink · 04-11-2012, 10:52 PM

He's specifically not The Mandarin though, so if they can fit him in with the Ten Rings there, might be a challenge. Or I guess they could do Temugin.

Screw realism, I want MODOK.

If they do any freakish evil scientist in future Marvel Studios films, I'd expect it to be Arnim Zola since he was in Captain America.

Tornado · 04-16-2012, 01:36 PM

I think if Cap squares off against an evil scientist in his sequel, I bet it would be Baron Zemo.

Neverending · 04-16-2012, 02:33 PM

They're filming in China. I guess the Mandarin might show up after all.

Nick1988 · 04-16-2012, 03:55 PM

I doubt they make Mandarin a chinese villain, China wouldn't allow it, didn't they not allow screenings of The Dark Knight because a chinese person played a minor bad guy?
