Where the hell did Ireland Online come from? All of a sudden they've got the drop on all the Marvel film news. It's like they found a little pot of leprechaun gold at the end of the friggin' rainbow. In an interview with IOL, Iron Man director Jon Favreau expresses a little bit of trepidation at the idea of a film centered around The Avengers. The Avengers is the Marvel Comics superteam featuring many of the staples that will be featured on the big screen, including Iron Man, The Hulk, and Captain America.
He said: "I think that's fun. I think it's inevitable, and 'The Avengers' might be the thing that helps rescue us from the inevitable sequel slump that you get into, because you're throwing everything on its ear.
"It might be a failed experiment or it might be something wonderful, but it allows you to add complexity in an organic way where you're culminating with something bigger, as opposed to trying to play out and not repeat the same story over and over again."
So atleast the guy's got a little hope for it. Although it'd weird that he's even talking about it at this stage of development. He goes into a little more detail on the Iron Man 2 goings on in the rest of the interview, which you can find right here.
