Jon Favreau leaves Iron Man 3


Wow, Jon's not coming back to Iron Man 3.
Hero Complex has the scoop

Jon Favreau said Tuesday that he is walking away from the billion-dollar ”Iron Man” franchise and will join filmmakers Guillermo del Toro and David Fincher as part of a next wave of filmmakers making major live-action feature films rooted in the imagery of Disney theme park attractions and classic characters.

Favreau is set to direct “Magic Kingdom,” which the 44-year-old filmmaker described as a family fantasy adventure that will tap into the vintage Disney imagery that “loomed so large in the imagination” of his generation. Favreau said that Fincher (expected by many to be a strong Oscar contender for “The Social Network“) will direct the studio’s ”20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,” a Jules Verne bookshelf classic that is closely associated with Disney after the landmark 1954 film and the submarine theme-park ride, and Del Toro has already been announced as director of a new “Haunted Mansion” film.

So the search begins, who will direct Iron Man 3?
