Avenger's producer John Favreau, who blew everyone away with his take on Iron Man stepped away from directing duties for the third film, and many fans were nervous that they had lost his talents. At worse they supposed he had a bad fallout with Marvel, but he has not wavered that all is good between him and Marvel. This interview is very reassuring even though he just a "supportive" piece it still is a positive in my book. Do I wish he was more hands on? Yes of course. But I'm confident that his incites will not go to the way side as Marvel continues to develop their universe on screen.
"My involvement is just to be as supportive as I can be. Most of the cast is people that came onboard to work with me on the 'Iron Man' film, so I feel a sense of responsibility to them. I really hope it works out,"
"I'm not in the trenches with them and I'm not making creative decisions on their behalf, but I'm completely available and of service."
"They have Joss Whedon, who's a very talented guy and is really good with ensembles and really understands the superhero genre better than I do,"
"I understand 'Iron Man' very, very well, especially the 'Iron Man' movie and the cast and the characters all built to one thing. But there are other characters that I don't know. Each filmmaker had a different approach to how they went about it — 'Captain America' is coming out, 'Thor.' The combining of all those things is going to be its own thing in and of itself that Joss has embraced and wrote the script. I expect big things."
