Jon Favreau has confirmed to MTV News that he will not direct the upcoming “Avengers” movie.
“They’ll have to [find a different director], because I’m not going to be available,” he tells MTV. “It’s something I’m being the executive producer on, so I’ll definitely have input and a say.”
“It’s going to be hard, because I was so involved in creating the world of Iron Man and is very much a tech-based hero, and then with ‘Avengers’ you’re going to be introducing some supernatural aspects because of Thor,” he continued. “How you mix the two of those works very well in the comic books, but it’s going to take a lot of thoughtfulness to make that all work and not blow the reality that we’ve created.”
Favreau will still serve as an executive producer and have input into the project.
Now.. I'm concerned.
Favreau could have made Thor and Iron Man work in the same film. I'm not sure another director can do the same. We'll see.
Thor worries me in general.
The new Captain Kirk in long hair...
Great, now I have the image of Thor talking like Shatner.
