Jon Favreau will not return for Iron Man 3, many are puzzled as to why. Now speaking with the LA Times' Hero Complex, Favreau explains in-depth why he's more interested in committing to Disney's [i]Magic Kingdom[/i] adaption, rather than completing the Iron Man trilogy.
Making it clear that his departure from Marvel is no result of fractured relations, his main goal was to “find something that lights a fire” inside of him as a filmmaker and gives him a chance to “blow people away, which is easier to do with a project that isn’t loaded with built-in expectations.” He also said he has been researching the film for many weeks.
[quote]“Between the theme parks and the movies, the Disney iconography was probably the first set of archetypes that I was exposed to,” Favreau said of his youth in Flushing, N.Y. “Walt was able to expose me as a child to the full array of emotions, including fear and sorrow. Those movies and attractions haunted my dreams and made a deep impression on me as a child. When I first heard about the ['Magic Kingdom' film] project, I was on my way to visit Disneyland with my family. I took notes and had no problem filling a book with all the ideas that this concept offered, even on first blush. Since then, I was lucky enough to be given a tour of Imagineering by Tony Baxter, who knows just about everything there is to know about Disneyland. He pulled original concept art from the archives for me and exposed me to Walt’s original vision.”
“Marvel and I both came of age together. The years that we shared were a pivotal experience. Kevin has a firm grasp on the many franchises and how they all interweave and I am happy that I had the opportunity to establish the world that these characters can now play in…. ‘Iron Man’ has given me tremendous opportunities and Kevin and I are enjoying a lot of momentum in our careers thanks to the ‘Iron Man’ films. I look forward to seeing what others can do playing in the same world.”[/quote]
We’re told that Marvel quietly began the process of finding a director to replace Favreau last night. But Marvel’s task is complicated by the fact that Downey Jr. has both contractually negotiated director approval and is currently the hottest leading man in Hollywood with first pick of dozens of "go" movies around town."

:saddowns:
So much for an ironclad trilogy.
I hope they find a good director to do it or it's going to be a bad sequel.
Bummer, i really liked the first two movies
I think he intended for Iron Man to be a one shot anyway.
Hate me for saying this, but I want JJ Abrahms to pick it up.
Who could be a good director for Iron Man 3.
hmmm
I'm just gonna be straight out here. Disneys doing.

M. Night Shyamalan!
Iron man 1 was a great movie, 2 was OK.
But a 3rd that isn't even directed by the same guy?
Hopefully Favreau already had a script of some sorts and a plot down that the other director can pick up otherwise i sense continuity issue's, why not let Downey Jnr just try and direct it? he play's stark extremely well and also helped with the first one that had no script and that was awesome!
Ed Wood would make the third movie the best.

Eh, who cares who does it. It's not like Iron Man movies are hard to make.
Just zoom on Scarlett Johansson's ass. A lot. Oh and Gwyneth Paltrow's ass is mighty fine too.

There.
As long as they have Downey Jr. it's all good (well unless Shyamalan or Bay end up as directors).
why the fuck does there need to be more of those pathetic movies in the first place?
Jon Favreau needs to finish what he started.
[QUOTE=Virtanen;26713808]why the fuck does there need to be more of those pathetic movies in the first place?[/QUOTE]
Because most people think they're actually good movies?
Also, doesn't Favreau also play Happy Hogan in the movies? Who's going to replace him?
