Marvel Studios is in final discussions with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang writer/director Shane Black to helm the third installment in the Iron Man film franchise. Deadline broke the exclusive news this evening while also saying there’s a chance Black may end up writing the film. Black is credited with helping to relaunch Robert Downey Jr.‘s film career with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and he’s prolific writer, having written all four Lethal Weapon movies and The Last Boy Scout.
I haven’t seen any of Black’s work, but I understand the near legendary status his films have in cinema history. I’m still disappointed with the departure of Jon Favreau, but Black seems to be a worthy successor to the ole’ shellhead’s film franchise.
