NEWS: Iron Man 3 - New Writer

With the news Shane Black will direct Iron Man 3 - which I'm not raising the roof about in the first place - it's been reported that Marvel have hired Drew Pearce - who has basically just done No Heroics. Not sure how I feel about that ...

By bringing in someone with a loose connection to superheroes and looking for their big break, it's been suggested that this could be Marvel's way of keeping tabs on what's going on and not to let Black take total control. This one could go either way, what do you guys think?

NEWS: Iron Man 3 Director Announced

Shane Black, the guy who was in "Predator" - oh and he directed and wrote some stuff as well, will direct Iron Man 3 as Favreau steps down.

After working with Downey Jr on overrated and ultimately dismissed "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" a film that people say really relaunched Downey Jr's career and a film that magazines like Empire loved, when really it was mediocre at best, it's time for Black to get behind the camera and direct again. Although "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang"  hasn't exactly stood out has it? Either way, Black's back to doing what he does best - pure action. Whether he will be writing it remains to be seen.
Iron Man 3 is set ot be released May 3rd 2013. Not long then.
