Iron Man Plan

The official launch for the Iron Man home video release took place this week with Jon Favreau sitting down members of the online press discussing the direction for Iron Man 2 and beyond- Among the attendees Superhero Hype...

Here's what we know: - Robert Downey Jr.. Gwyneth Paltrow and Terrence Howard are all signed to reprise their roles.-

The "
Demon in a Bottle" storyline, when referenced, will form the basis of the third film and not the immediate sequel.- Rhodey (Howard) may become War Machine the next time out with the armor being developed for the character.

Iron Man's armor may also be updated for the next film

There's hope to include
IMAX 3-D sequences in the sequel depending upon budgeting concerns.

Favreau sees 'The
Mandarin", the Asian crime lord arch-nemesis from the comics, as this film series at some point as well.

He'll likely be in the background more visibly in the first sequel but won't show up in full until a third or fourth film.

The reason for the delay is that Favreau is trying to avoid over-exposing the character, and figuring out how to fit his mystical elements into a real world context.- Favreau does intend to include background links to the likes of
The Incredible Hulk and Captain America in the sequel, but finds Thor a bit more difficult to work in.

Writer
Justin Theroux and Favreau are at work developing the story for 2...

Those plans sound quite ambitious indeed...And I for one can't wait...Favreau's concerns about over-exposure are valid--Keep them in check and your fine...



The first flick hits DVD on Sept 30th....
