Favreau Still Not Locked In for Iron Man 2

John FIt appears that Favreau has yet to be locked into a contract for the much anticipated Iron Man sequel. The following information will divulged unto us through our friends over at firstshowing:

Favreau first told EW.com in an interview after the release of Iron Man that, “there’s no formal arrangement yet, but in theory we would all love to see it happen…” Now SlashFilm follows that up with more confirmation as of Tuesday this week. Favreau made an appearance on the Howard Stern Show, and told Howard that, “they haven’t offered me anything yet,” adding that “they’re all talking – they want to do it, they even announced a date.” So if you want to actually speak about this in terms of technicalities, no, Jon Favreau has not been signed to direct anything yet.

In the full article Alex goes on to remind us that this sort of thing isn’t uncommon so far away from the release date, and that we shouldn’t be alarmed by this news. I agree with him wholeheartedly. I am not certain if Favreau is making this announcement as a bargaining tool, or just calling things the way they are; but I would guess that his Iron Man 2 job is quite safe.

Iron Man has had an overwhelmingly positive response from both comic book fans, and Joe Movie goer. It has injected a boost of life into the genre that seemed to be getting a little stale, and with luck, Hulk will pick up where Iron Man left off. My hopes for Hulk have been raised by Iron Man; if Hulk knocks it out of the park… this could be one of the greatest geek summers in history.
