AVENGERS MOVIE: Iron Man Movie director Favreau wants to be the man behind the Avengers movie, too.

Once is not enough for Iron Man movie director

Iron Man movie director, Jon Favreau let it be known recently that he would love to have the opportunity to direct the future avengers movie. MTV.com had the details from Favreau himself:

“Avengers Assemble!” Marvel’s mightiest team join forces to fight foes no single superhero can withstand. But if Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, and Ant-Man thought Count Nefaria or the Krees were formidable – wait’ll they get a load of the Countless Nerds and the Geeks, who will dissect every announcement and decision from the film like it was the word of God. Bring ‘em on, says “Iron Man” director Jon Favreau, who, not only thinks that “The Avengers” is “a great idea,” but even told MTV News that he might like to direct it.

The idea that there is a new Avengers movie planned for some time in the near future is certainly an intriguing idea. The suggestion from some quarters that any Avengers movie would preferably include the actors already associated with already established movie properties as of that time (such as Robert dwoney Jr. reprising the role of Iron Man, for example) is really intriguing - if not wishful thinking.

Of course this project is way off in the distance, so it will be some time yet before we are all dissecting the latest avengers movie trailer, checking out any Avengers movie poster, or drooling over any Avengers movie action figures or any other related Avengers movie merchandise.
