Jon Faveau has announced that he will not be directing Iron Man 3. I feel this could mark the beginning the end. Granted, I may be jumping the gun. But my fears are based on prior cases. When it comes to superhero films, the third installment in a series must always be handled with care. It seems that many franchises took a turn for the worst with the third outing. Look at Superman, X-Men, or Spider-Man.
In the case of Superman and X-Men, a change in director came with the third film. Is it coincidence that a new director brought about a less then stellar film? Perhaps. I know it's unfair to damn the new director before he has even been announced. But the reality is that it's tough to step into a project that is so much the vision of another director. Especially since the Iron Man movies are part of the grander Avengers film series. The new director does not have much wiggle room. He has to keep the feel of the first two films or he risks not ruining just Iron Man 3, but other films in the Avenger's series.
I wish Iron Man 3 all the best. But at the same time, a massive failure would not shock me.
Astonishing article . Will definitely copy it to my blog.Thanks

ReplyDeleteI also thought Iron Man 2 was pretty awful (other than the appearance of War Machine). The first one was awesome though. Favreau made the 2nd one, so maybe a director change will be a good thing. A more interesting villain and the realism (at least with the whole Afghanistan setting) of the first movie would really help.
