No matter who writs it, I have a feeling it will be the Godfather 2 of comic book movies.

I love Theroux as an actor and am excited to see his writing skills go to work in Thunder as well as this.

Who needs writers at all? As Downey Jr., said on Letterman “1st thing we did every day was take that days pages and throw it away.”

Tropic Thunder is incredible. Saw it last Thursday.

I can’t decide if Tropic Thunder of Pineapple Express is better. Both hilarious.

You guys, half the stuff you love on Iron Man was IMPROVISED by RDJ anyway. The script is really just a blueprint. RDJ and Fav said that they adjusted the dialogue and ripped up script pages everyday and RDJ even stated himself he should have probably gotten a writing credit on the film.

What’s the problem of getting the original writers back? They did a great job on the first one, I don’t see any reason why Marvel wouldn’t try to get them for the sequel. That is unless they don’t want to do it.

His ONLY writing credit on IMDB is Tropic Thunder. That worries me greatly!

I think that they will need the orignial writers back or have them as story writer and have Justin Theroux as a screenwriter and have the the writer being close to him with what he is doing.
