During the panel at Long Beach Comic Con, director Shane Black talked about his upcoming project Iron Man 3. While it is nothing major, he also shares his thoughts on writer Drew Pearce and what is his main focus for the movie. Thanks to @RIMBreaks for the heads up.
* There will be references to the Avengers in Iron Man 3, but this will be Tony's movie.

* 'Is Iron Man 3 going to take place during Xmas?' Shane Black - 'It's negotiable.'

* Black wants Jon Faverau to return as Happy Hogan.

* Black thought that the end of The First Avenger: Captain America movie was a big mess.

* On not giving away too much Iron Man spoilers: "Do you want to know what happens when you die? Just wait till you'll die."

* On his IM3 co-writer, Drew Pearce: "These British people...they are really are something! We should have more of them!"

* Shane Black on green screen: "The biggest problem is the actors. Because picturing a non-existent set can make for flat performances."

* His main IM3-related focus is "realism and the potential for evil in all men".

Starring Robert Downey Jr., Iron Man 3 is set to hit theatres on May 3, 2013.

I'm not sure I'm liking this idea of a realistic, James Bond Ironman movie, but for all I know it could be amazing. It's not like that style hasn't been tried in the Ironman comics.

The thing that was messed up was he made no attempt to just LAND THE PLANE! What if you put it in a dive and got a parachute? or used one ofthe litttle planes to fly away. Why crash it???? Still love CAp though. But that was wierd.

He's right, but it's not just the ending that was crap

Ironically the entire 2nd half of the film sucked, the exposition of Steve Rogers was executed brilliantly, it's AFTER he becomes Captain America Joe Johnston's weaknesses were fully exposed. Pacing, dialogue, storytelling all fell apart. Tack on that eye roll worthy addition of the forced Sam Jackson cameo and you get an average movie.

Pretty much the opposite of Thor where the Rainbow bridge sequence was the only thing worth watching throughout that entire film.

At least those two had watchable sequences though, unlike Iron Man 2 which was a clusterf**k of a movie all the way through.

No he's right. The ending to cap was rushed and thus a cluster[frick]

The ending was a mess: The airplane situation should have been more clearly defined so that Cap had no other options but to crash it. We just have one line of dialogue thats says there's no option and we just have to take it on faith. Also the ending was a total downer and was poorly paced followed directly by upbeat, colorful credits with a heroic soundtrack. It was a mess but the rest of the movie is pure gold.

Black will do well, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a great movie.

@Intruder- That first pic changed my mind.... Now I know Mandarin can work!

Just give me Bleeding Edge Iron Man, Mandarin, and FFF! Oh and more action!!! Like MORE! Yes we love seeing Tony Stark live the rich life and be the slick man that he is but.... More action!

Black was spouting bulls*** about the end of CA:TFA. If you want to see a mess, look at some of the crap in his filmography. The more he says about his plans for IM3, the more worried I become. He got the job because he's Downey's friend, not because he has a long track record of solid scripts and directing behind him. (Last Boy Scout, Last Action Hero and the Long Kiss Goodnight, anyone?) Hopefully he can write and direct a movie good enough to justify his posturing.

he does have a point to the ending of Cap it was kind of a mess.

I do agree that the second half the movie seemed VERY rushed.I still thinks its one of Marvel's best net too the First Iron-man and Incredible Hulk.

Honeslty Cap was a an ok movie to me, it was solid. That doesn't mean it was bad but it didn't wow me either. Like IM Thor and TIH did. But it was far from a "mess" as Mr Black put it. Jerk

dahamma - 10/29/2011, 6:41 PM
That said I hope he does well with IM3 looks like we wont get mandarin, but I hope we get to see Bleeding edge armor maybe or FFF

The reviving part in Cap was rushed and it all felt confusing, but the overall film was great. Black definitely has a point about the ending though. I would say it's Marvel Studio second best film.

@xeno

see how selective u are what about his work on Lethal Weapon 1 and 2, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

God dangit I'm sick of realism, I want the Mandarin! Also, I loved Captain America, but I have to admit the ending was a bit strange. They should have explained it better why he couldn't land the plane. And the montage part should have been longer. But those are my only complaints.
WolvieCBM
WolvieCBM - 10/29/2011, 6:44 PM
As for IM3, if they have a good script, plus Black directing, I think we are in for something great.

TheMalcontent - 10/29/2011, 6:46 PM
I don't get why everybody thinks The Mandarin is or even has magic! He uses and always used alien tech(the ring of power are alien tech!)

They're just near cosmic level in power. Thats why he is his rivil(Tony has the worlds best tech and the Mandarin has even better tech without a suit.

I thought it was very awkward suspending my belief when Steve ran into the street not knowing anyone, or where he was, and Fury says, "you gonna be okay son". Cap was like, "yeah, I'm fine". What?! I'd be like , "NO! I'm not 'alright'! WHO the hell are you , what is ALL this-!" etc. Just hard to believe a person would respond the way he did in the movie.
We can pick any film apart really, but overall it's a good CBM.

Cap is by far the weakest Marvel movie. Like it was mentioned before, after Rogers turns into Cap, the movie starts falling apart. Cliche after cliche. You can say it's an "homage" to Indy and Return of the Jedi, I say I've seen it before and better. I was actually bored during a few scenes, and I am a Marvel fan. Iron Man, Thor and Incredible Hulk are the top 3 Marvel movies in my opinion. Cap is nowhere near the top. Hope Johnston gets nowhere near Cap 2.

TheMalcontent - 10/29/2011, 6:50 PM
I don't get how everybody could want him/Mandarin in the next movie and don't even know about the character.

Does anybodyagree
NightForce
NightForce - 10/29/2011, 6:53 PM
@headlopper, Yeah that part was weird too. The deleted scene on the Blu ray had a re edited version of that scene that was a lot better. Nick Fury told Steve who he was, where he was, and told him we won the war. It would've made much more sense to keep it in the movie.
TheMalcontent
TheMalcontent - 10/29/2011, 6:56 PM
I actually thought Cap was good. I liked it more than Thor. But think liked Cap more because of the tone of the film.

I think that Thor was much better directed(and Cap better acted) and would have been much better if they ketp the deleted scenes in the film.

@AsgardianGangsta- Haven't got the DVD yet, so thanx for the info. Should've just put what's on the DVD in the movie in the first place, ya know.

Captain America: The First Avenger was a perfect superhero movie. The fact that it was as successful as it was in the climate of OMG DARK GRITTY ANTI-HEROEZ (not just in superhero movies) and OMG VILLAIN MONOLOGUEZ is a miracle. I don't really need to defend the movie, every time I saw it I saw girls choking up during the final farewell and guys grinning miles wide anytime Cap sent people flying with shield bashes. It found the right audience. I honestly feel sorry for you if you're too much of an armchair assassin to simply root for a character that's a truly selfless hero in a fun, blockbuster action movie.

There isnt a runway long enough to safely land the plane. Its filled with ordanance and jet fuel, safest move was a water ditching. Only thing lacking was actually seeing Steve frozen in ice, I can see how it was confusing for the general audience when he woke up. Hopefully the avengers show's this. After a few re-watches on Blue Ray I don't quite understand the complaints about the second half. Yes, it turns into a man on a mission movie but that was to be expected. They are grinding away at HYDRA while trying to gather intelligence on them. Thye manged to fit in a POW break, motorcycle chase, tank destroying, Cap flying experimental aircraft, firsticuffs with Red Skull, etc.... And the best part is that unlike transformers it could all be followed with the naked eye.
