Marvel Studios had quite a big summer this year, with Thor, X-Men: First Class, and Captain America: The First Avenger all opening within three months of each other. And we already know they’ve got an equally huge 2012 lined up as well, with Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, The Amazing Spider-Man, and of course, The Avengers all slated for next year. But what comes after that? After the jump, read about the studio’s plans for 2013 and beyond, which include the previously announced Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 as well as some more unexpected projects.

Even with just a brief teaser and some set photos, Marvel is making it feel like The Avengers is the end-all-be-all of their superhero movies. But for the people involved, many are already onto the next thing. And for Robert Downey Jr., that means Iron Man 3, which has a predetermined release date of May 3, 2013. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times Hero Complex, Tony Stark himself said he and writer/director Shane Black are on the same page about the film offered this summary:
My sense of it is that we need to leave it all on the field — whatever that means in the end. You can pick several different points of departure for that.

Fresh from the New Mexico set of The Avengers, Robert Downey Jr. made a surprise appearance alongside director Jon Favreau at the Hero Complex Film Festival in Hollywood on Sunday. In full Tony Stark beard, hair and swagger, the actor, of course, spoke about the two films that were screening, Iron Man and Iron Man 2, but also the on-the-horizon third film, Iron Man 3, which will be helmed by director Shane Black.
Favreau and Downey talked about how the former Iron Man director will be helping the upcoming Iron Man director as well as some of the greatest difficulties, both serious and not, in creating the May 3, 2013 film. Check out what they had to say, and also read what Downey had to say about the first six weeks of shooting The Avengers, after the jump. Read More »
Marvel’s great Avengers experiment is about to begin. Joss Whedon wrote in to Whedonesque today to announce that The Avengers begins shooting tomorrow. Specifically he said (in part): “Tomorrow we start shooting (I THINK I’m legally permitted to say that). Day one. That’s right. We’ll be shooting the pivotal death/betrayal/product placement/setting up the sequel/coming out scene, at the following address:” at which point the email goes a bit off the rails, but I think you get the point.
As we’ve known since last summer, The Avengers features Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man; Chris Hemsworth as Thor; Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk; Chris Evans as Captain America; Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury; Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow; Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye; Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill; Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson; Tom Hiddleston as Loki; and Stellan Skarsgård as Erik Selvig. The Avengers will be released just over a year from now, on May 4, 2012.
After the break, Shane Black will reportedly co-write Iron Man 3 after all. Read More »
While we’d hoped that Shane Black would write Iron Man 3 in addition to directing it, over the past few weeks we haven’t had any solid confirmation that he would definitely pen the script. He’s famous for screenwriting more than directing, after all, having only directed one film: the great Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. So it seemed reasonable to expect (certainly to hope) that he would write.
But now Drew Pearce will script the sequel, based on the strength of his recent draft of Runaways. Read More »

We’ve known since last month that Kiss Kiss Bang Bang writer/director Shane Black would be directing Iron Man 3. The question that remained was whether he would also be writing the script. As it turns out, the answer is yes. At the Omaha Film Festival this weekend, Black appeared at a panel and briefly discussed Iron Man 3, including a few details about the script.

Update (from editor Peter Sciretta): Deadline is reporting that Shane Black is in final negotiations to direct Iron Man 3, but it’s not clear whether he’ll be writing the screenplay. Black has only recently transitioned into directing, and is better known as one of Hollywood’s top screenwriters — so I’m hoping he is also involved on the script end. Russ’s original story follows after the jump.
