Questions about the “Iron Man” sequels? The DVD release? Upcoming storylines? “The Avengers” and future Marvel tie-ins? An IMAX release? This long interview at SuperheroHype with director Jon Favreau (finally hired on by Marvel) ought to answer any of those. If that’s not enough, here’s more. And more.
Films number 4 and 5 in the “Spider-Man” series will be filmed back to back and are expected to be directed again by Sam Raimi. Tobey Maguire has a pretty sweet deal for starring in both, but it is unknown whether Kirsten Dunst will return.
