DISQUS

This is awesome!! I can't wait for them to bring War Machine and Mandarin on the screen. But Jon and the writers are right about putting Mandarin on the movie with making him as stupid as the other conncepts out there. Making the Mandarin as mastermind war lord or some sort is good. Crimson Dynamo would be good addition. JUST CAN"T WAIT!!

Yes, War Machine would be awesome! If they are going to make an upgrade to Tony's armor, though, I hope it will look as amazing or even better than his first armor. If the same people design it, then there's a lot of hope because all 4 armors (including Iron Monger) in the last movie worked out so well.

As long as they keep the dark arts/mysticism crap out the movie for mandarin i'm sure it will be cool. It's tougher to give it the realism it deserves like batman dark knight than the comics books. Doctor Dooms powers were also based on the mystic arts in the books but they were able to rework him to a believable character in the movies.

I agree that the Mandarin should have technology-based powers, but in the comic books his rings were alien technology, not magic. There was a lot of mystical stuff about them because they were not made on earth, but they were not magic. Also, anyone who thinks that the Doctor Doom of the FF movies was made more believable or in any way an improvement on Doctor Doom of the comics, is an idiot.
Also, I'm not sure how much actual impact Favreau has had in making the Iron Man movie so great: he's working with Robert Downey Jr. and Jeff Bridges, so the performances are going to be gold no matter what he does. The cinematography is done by Matthew Libatique, the man behind The Fountain and Requiem for a Dream. It was Marvel's debut film of their own studio, so every precaution was being taken by people who knew and loved Iron Man to make it great.
For his part, Jon Favreau has directed Elf. His intellectuality and flair for the unique has been shown before in the timeless and sophisticated Will Farrell vehicle. Sarcasm aside, he's not what you'd call a genius. It's my opinion that he's basically a figurehead in front of a talented cast, production house, and cinematographer, and the movie would have worked great almost regardless of who directed it.
And I, for one, think that Iron Man 2 in 3D would be fabulous.
