Iron Man
While talking to Jon Favreau about giving tax breaks to production companies who keep production in California, the LA Times has learned that the upcoming Iron Man sequel is already off the ground.
Iron Man II Launched
I just talked to Jon Favreau a bit ago, and he said that while there hasn't been an formal announcement on the sequel to "Iron Man," he's begun developing it. "We're working on it now," he said, "which hasn't been officially announced. It will be released in 2010."
No surprise there, of course. The first film in the franchise has pulled in well over a half-billion dollars in worldwide box office and was met with strong reviews.
