Jon Favreau will direct “Iron Man 2″
It’s not really official yet, but Nikki Finke is reporting on her blog that a deal has been reached between Jon Favreau and Marvel Studios to make him the director of Iron Man 2.
Responsible for the massive success of Iron Man this summer, Favreau took his battle to the internet when he didn’t immediately get an offer from Marvel to stay on for the sequel.
Now, I don’t know the interior workings at Marvel, or what was going on in Favreau’s mind, but Nikki Finke called Jon an “asshole” because of the way he voiced his discontent publicly.
I was following all this closely, and if you base it off the news that we had out there, I really don’t see how Favreau acted that badly. Sure, maybe he could have kept it to himself, but honestly, in this business, would that have even happened had he stayed quiet? Someone would have been talking about it regardless.
It seems to me that Marvel should have locked this guy up on the opening weekend of Iron Man, and here we are months later and finally getting the news.
What do you guys think? Was Favreau an a-hole? Or was Marvel?
