With the departure of Jon Favreau weather it was due to Marvel being frugal and not wanting to buy Favreau's directing price tag or that he wanted to do that Magic Kingdom movie for Disney(kinda ironic i would say) or the rumor that he and Robert Downey Jr. may have had a falling out on the set of Ironman 2. The big question now is who will take the reigns of the next Ironman have come up.
First to step to plate is a man by the name of Shane Black. Shane Black may not be know as a director even though he has directed "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" and had been connected to the American adaptation of "Death Note". He does have the writing chops having written favorites "Leathal Weapon" 1 and 2, "Monster Squad" and "Last Action".
This may be Robert Downey Jr's suggestion to Marvel since he has worked with Black on Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Not to mention when Downey won the role of Tony Stark he went to Black on ideas on how to be Tony Stark. Then recently on the direction on where Ironman should go.
Marvel of course will look at others to direct Black but he would be the favorite for the gig.
