鋼鐵俠導演宣佈與該片"緣分"已盡
喜劇演員出身的喬恩-費儒以《鋼鐵俠》正式晉升爲商業大片導演，第一部便席捲了5億8000萬美元的票房，而第二部儘管獲得了6億2000萬的成績，不過卻爲不少觀衆的影評病詬，稱情節乏善可陳。此番退出《鋼鐵俠3》，外界揣測或與驚奇娛樂合作不愉快有關，之前他也有表達過類似的“不滿”，“和驚奇合作過的電影人都知道，在電影最後剪輯完成之前，你幾乎不知道故事內容是什麼。”有消息稱，電影公司方面屢次插手導演的創作或許是促使喬恩出走了直接原因，儘管如此，雙方還會就2012年的《復仇者》進行合作。
On a day when the movie industry was focused on the Golden Globe nominations, just like in the movies, Hollywood got a few surprise twists. First, Ryan Reynolds confirmed to MTV News that he and wife Scarlett Johansson are splitting. And now, word is that Jon Favreau will not return to direct "Iron Man 3."
According to New York Magazine's Vulture blog, Favreau informed Marvel Studios as recently as Monday night that he would not direct the third film in the blockbuster franchise. The news is shocking considering the massive box-office success and popularity of "Iron Man" and "Iron Man 2."
On Tuesday evening (December 14), Favreau hit Twitter to confirm the reports. "It's true, I'm directing Magic Kingdom, not Iron Man 3," he tweeted. "I've had a great run with Marvel and wish them the best."
With few details having been made public, we can only speculate about what might have led Favreau to drop out, aside from his "Magic Kingdom" responsibilities.. MTV News spoke to the director just last month, and he seemed uncertain about plans for the third film, particularly with regard to a story line and his impression that Marvel was preoccupied with "The Avengers" movie.
"In theory, 'Iron Man 3' is going to be a sequel or continuation of 'Thor,' 'Hulk,' 'Captain America' and 'Avengers,' " Favreau said. "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.
"Honestly, right now 'Captain America' and 'Thor' are their big priorities," he continued. "And you learn things by shooting and making movies. The script is one thing, but when you actually see what you land on at the editing room — especially with Marvel where they film, cut, film some more and shape the film — you really learn as you go."
"Iron Man 3" is currently scheduled for a May 13, 2013, release. New York Magazine reported that Marvel began their search for Favreau's replacement on Monday night.
