UPDATE - Jon Favreau shot down this rumor on his MySpace page. He said: I am concerned, however, about the announced release date of April 2010. Neither Robert nor I were consulted about this and we are both concerned about how realistic the date is in light of the fact that we have no script, story or even writers hired yet. This genre of movie is best when it is done thoughtfully and with plenty of preparation. It might be better to follow the [BATMAN BEGINS/DARK KNIGHT] three year release pattern than to scramble for a date. It is difficult because there are no Marvel 09 releases and they need product, but I also think we owe it to the fans to have a great version of IM2 and, at this point, we would have less time to make it than the first one. Terrence Howard has revealed that IRON MAN II will begin filming in March 2009, with a release date planned for April 2010. What was not revealed was whether or not his character Jim Rhodes would become War Machine this time around, but in my head I'm already assuming it. In fact, if it doesn't happen I'll probably cut someone. Probably Jon Favreau. I'm sure he has ex-Navy seal bodyguards and motion-sensors at his house and shit, but my Mom and I agree: I can achieve anything I set my heart to.

Favreau is expected to direct again, with Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow returning too. IRON MAN has already grossed over half a billion dollars worldwide.

Extra Tidbit: Apparently an early draft of IRON MAN revealed Tony Stark to have created Otto Octavius' tentacles in SPIDERMAN 2.

I'm just happy...
that Thoo stopped taking the good Lord's name in vain...THANKS THOO! You're alright now in my book!

Also,I think Favreau should indeed play it smart, take a page out of Nolan (B.B., T.D.K.) and Singer's (X-Men, X-Men 2) books, and pull the 3 year gap maneuver.

They should make us wait so long for IM2 like they do for Batman. Its just cruel and unusual.


And PuffyCity: Just chill outman. You don't like his humor? To bad. He's writting on this siye and you're not. Don't want to read it then skip over it.

I love Joblo and every writer they have, except James Thoo because I really don't like his way of writing, it has nothing to do with being serious or not, I just find him lame; and also, the Strike Back section is so everyone registered on the site has a chance to express their opinion, and this is mine

They probably wanted to tie in Spidey somehow so that he would eventually join the Avengers, I'm glad they didn't use that, that way the new Avengers characters could have had the spot Spidey would have taken.

Wow, either you're a punk ass, or you haven't been on JoBlo before. Pay attention to your surroundings, you're in Schmoe territory.

puffcity needs to relax a minute and realize that youre on JoBlo. At the very top of the website it says "Yay! No summer pirate movies!" And you just posted on a column titled "The Schmoes Strike Back".

Take your bitching somewhere else, this isn't the new york times or Fox News, no, not at all, this is JoBlo.com

What kind of serious news journalist are you to say something so stupid as "I can achieve anything I set my heart to." What? Do you think we come to this website to enjoy movie news and be entertained? NO! We come here for the cold hard facts, so please keep your pointless yet hilariously delivered notes to yourself.

Wow... they keep on bumping up the "summer-movie period," don't they? It used to be early-May, now they've bumped it up to April.

Oh, and please do something about the annoying "Wanted" pop-up. I really don't appreciate it popping up every fucking page.

Spider-Man 2 was NOT better than Iron Man. It might have been, were Peter Parker not such a whiny bitch.

That said, that is a great extra tidbit. They should have kept it in. I mean, why not? If no one knew what Stark Industries was, it would hardly have mattered, and those who did know would have been delighted by the universal reference.

That extra tidbit is fantastic. And now I'm a little sad that it wasn't included. Would have been great to have a connection to the only Marvel film that's better than Iron Man.
