I think they should keep Jon to do the third film. I mean, he\’s already done the first two and that\’s what we are used to. If it\’s different, more of a \”Clancy style\” movie as i\’ve been hearing, it\’s going to let a lot of people down.

Can\’t say it\’s much of a loss. But knowing Marvel\’s choices of directors, it might be even more disastrous if they replace him.

This franchise could have been something more, but it\’s been bogged down into conventional, utterly forgettable mediocrity. Favreau and co. just don\’t understand the technoerotic fascination at the heart of this series. His sensibilities are just too generic to rise above what\’s given to him. But, as we\’ve gotten it, I doubt anyone\’s going to watch these films 10 years from now.

Marvel have been lining up some mediocre talent: Favreau, Leterrier, Johnston, Branagh. They\’re utterly contemptuaous towards any directors who know anything about cinema.

They need to get some better writers. Iron Man was mediocre and Iron Man 2 was an embarassment. Favreau\’s forgettable direction didn\’t help either.

Meh, Favreau\’s direction was serviceable, but not particularly memorable. Both Iron man movies are horribly mediocre fluff.

Favreau just doesn\’t understand composition and aesthetics. Those 2 Iron Man movies have some of the most amateur framing in superhero movies, they\’re only a few steps away from Ghost Rider (a movie that\’s awful to look at).

Either way, this doesn\’t matter. Iron Man 2 has already been forgotten. Both those films will disappear within a few years. Favreau is a hack.

Why won\’t MARVEL learn from other company\’s mistakes? Imposing time constraints and replacing a director gets you X3, Interferring with a director\’s vision gets you Spider-Man 3.

Fav\’s delivered the goods on IM1 and @ least IMHO, he delivered an excellent IM2 (inspite of all of the \’easter eggs\’, \’tie-ins\’ and references that STILL managed to tell us ALMOST NOTHING about what to expect for a story in AVENGERS. )

Arguably the best comic book movie ever. Especially considering Iron Man was virtually unknown to non-Marvel fans. What Favreu did for Marvel as a whole he deserves creative control for Iron Man. He\’ll put in enough easter eggs to make nerd boys happy. Just let him make his movie.

Just pay him and give him the creative control he\’s earned. Jeebus, Marvel, get your heads out of your ass.

My prediction. After \”Thor\” tanks hard, \”Captain America\” under-performs (crashes and burn internationally), and \”The Avengers\” ends up firing Joss Whedon and misses their release date… Favreau will be back in the driver\’s seat.

Since Ironman 1 was great and Ironman 2 Sucked…Do we really need Ironman 3. It sounds like yet another franchise where the first movie is the only good one (Pirates anyone).

I think Favreau should make another absolutely essential sequel…Zathura 2.

I think Michael Bay could be a possible replacement. 🙂
