Shane Black Directing Iron Man 3!
Earlier this month we reported that Kiss Kiss Bang Bang writer/director Shane Black, was in the running to direct the third installment in Marvel Studios’ popular Iron Man franchise, Iron Man 3. Deadline now confirms he is in “final negotiations” to lock in the role of director for the threequel.
It’s still not clear whether Black will also write the script.
Jon Favreau helmed the franchise for the first and second movie but dropped off the third movie to direct Magic Kingdom at Disney.
Iron Man 3 will open May 3rd, 2013. Is it too soon to line up already?
Shane Black has only directed one studio film to date, 2005′s Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which coincidentally starred Robert Downey Jr. along with Val Kilmer. What do you think about Black directing Iron Man 3?
