And a million Marvel fans just released their collective breath. Jon Favreau, director of the runaway hit Iron Man, has agreed to helm the sequel according to Deadline Hollywood Daily.

There was some concern on Favreau’s part about the extremely ambitious release schedule Marvel Studios is married to in order to hit a 2011 release date for Avengers. Marvel wants to start shooting next March with plans for Iron Man 2 to hit in April 2010.

Favreau is concerned (rightfully so, I think) that without writers, a script or much of anything else in place Marvel might be pushing things. But industry scuttlebutt is that Marvel Studios threw some of Tony Stark’s excess cash at Favreau and now it’s all good.

Please Marvel, take your time building up to the Avengers movie. It’s only one of the most anticipated movies in the history of comic book adaptations. The other, of course, would be a Justice League of America movie. But Time Warner is moving along with that at the pace of continental drift. So it’s up to you Marvel. Please don’t blow this.

]]> iron-man-image-thumb After teasing a movie about Marvel superteam The Avengers in both Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk, now they’ve got to determine who will round out the squad.

Iron Man director Jon Favreau told USA Today he and Marvel Studios are looking at Captain America, Thor and Ant Man. That’s in addition to Hulk and Iron Man already set up in their own movies. Films featuring Thor and Cap are reported to be in the pipeline. They’re planning Thor in June of 2010 and a Captain America flick in 2011. This may be the greatest time to be a comic geek in the history of the world.

]]> Iron Man Poster According to the Associated Press, Marvel Comics stopped swimming in its Iron Man money long enough to announce the inevitable sequel, slated for April 2010. It also began setting the stage for the much discussed Avengers film which Marvel said will appear in 2011. Iron Man director Jon Favreau has expressed interest in directing that movie, but nothing has been determined yet.

Before then, Marvel plans a Thor movie in 2010 and a Captain America movie in 2011 as well. Iron Man, Cap and Thor are considered the “Big Three” where Marvel’s superteam is concerned. Still coming this year are the Incredible Hulk on June 13 and Punisher:War Zone on Dec. 5.

Marvel Studios won’t release any self-produced films in 2009, but will continue its X-Men franchise with X-Men Origins:Wolverine.
