The director of Iron Man 1 & 2 Jon Favreau isn’t feeling so proud to direct the next adventure of Iron Man3.
He tweeted this Tuesday
“It’s true, I’m directing Magic Kingdom, not Iron Man 3. I’ve had a great run with Marvel and wish them the best.”
I will go with Favreau…yeah what’s the point of making an Iron Man 3?
Vulture Blog Reports:
It’s unclear whether the impasse was financial or creative or both. One informed source hears that he was frustrated with Marvel’s urge to stuff more of their in-house heroes into the next film in the wake of The Avengers. In a recent interview with MTV News, Favreau explained that based on his conversations with Marvel Studios executives, he had no clarity as to what a third Iron Man film would even be about. “In theory, Iron Man 3 is going to be a sequel or continuation of Thor, Hulk, Captain America and Avengers,” said Favreau at the time, “This whole world … I have no idea what it is. I don’t think they do either, from conversations I’ve had with those guys.”

Tuesday’s most polarizing piece of news was the fact that Jon Favreau would not be directing Iron Man 3. On his Twitter, Favreau said “It’s true, I’m directing Magic Kingdom, not Iron Man 3. I’ve had a great run with Marvel and wish them the best.”
But Twitter can only say so much. The man behind the first two Iron Man films, Elf, the upcoming Cowboys & Aliens and my favorite movie of all time, Swingers, sat down with the Los Angeles Times to explain in more than 140 characters why he’s leaving Tony Stark behind and what his plans are for Magic Kingdom.
Jon Favreau Will Not Direct Iron Man 3
The poet Robert Browning once wrote that “a man in armor is his armor’s slave.” By that logic, director Jon Favreau is now a free man: Insiders tell Vulture that Favreau has just informed Marvel Studios that he won’t direct a third Iron Man film.
