Shane Black To Direct Marvel's 'Iron Man 3'
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.

Robert Downey Jr. Comments on Side-kick Switcheroo, "I love Terrence... I admire Don"
One of the biggest news stories of the last few weeks has been a surprising switcheroo of the actors playing Tony Stark's best friend "Rhodey" in Iron Man. Now the star himself, Robert Downey Jr., has made a comment about both men...
The controversy started mid-october when news leaked onto the web that Terrence Howard, the original James Rhodes in Iron Man, would be replaced by Don Cheadle.
Howard said the swap was a surprise, and the silence over the matter was deafening. Then Marvel officially confirmed the move and now Cheadle was not only signed for Iron Man II, but for the ensemble superhero film, The Avengers. Read the official announcement HERE. There seemed to be more to this switch than was being said.
Sure enough, we learned that Terrence was trouble on the set, and the whole fiasco may have been a set up by the "powers that be" to move Cheadle in.
Everything thus far has been spurious Internet rumor, with very little from insiders. Nothing has been said "on the record" until MTV caught up with Iron Man himself, Robert Downey Jr. Here is what they got out of him...
When asked if he had anything to do with the Howard/Cheadle switch, Downey immediately responded, “I had nothing to do with that decision. I love Terrence very very much. That’s all I’ll say because I haven’t talked to him yet.”
Furthermore, the “Iron Man” star makes it clear that he will not play favorites between the two equally talented actors, so if you’re looking for a juicy “good riddance” quote from Downey (who’s definitely not shy when it comes to speaking his mind), you won’t find it here.
“I’ve always admired Don [Cheadle],” said Downey. “It’s one of those situations where I still don’t quite know what happened or why. Here’s what happens too: things happen and you wind up commenting on them before you’ve actually talked to the people and it’s in poor taste.”
Sounds like Robert isn't going to take sides, and is interested in protecting his burgeoning franchise. He adds...
“I think the important thing with the ‘Iron Man’ franchise is to not do too much too soon and to make sure we don’t piss off the public that put us in the position we’re in,” said Downey. “We’ve just got to keep rolling up our sleeves higher and further up the elbow. If we show up and we’re in the right head space and our heart’s in the right spot and we really think about the audience at every turn and we don’t try to stamp our hipness onto anything. It’s very interactive.”
