Shane Black Could Write/Direct Iron Man 3
Thu, February 10, 2011 
I feel like Jim Carrey in The Truman Show. Are you there, Ed Harris? It feels like it...
Heat Vision is hearing the world may get that Kiss Kiss Bang Bang reunion we've all been clamoring for. Its writer/director Shane Black, also behind penning the first two Lethal Weapons – you know, the ones we keep going back to, has met with Marvel executives about taking on Iron Man 3.
Be for warned, the job is yet his and other filmmakers (unnamed at this time) are additionally in contention. That said, as stated upon the news of Jon Favreau's exit, star Robert Downey Jr. has directorial approval before anything else can move forward on the third Shellhead adventure already slated for a May 2013 release.
Make this happen, movie gods.

Wow. You called this. Sweet Nostradamus.
I would be happy with with this selection. If he lands the job I hope he does good things.
I think a third Ironman movie will feel a little like overkill after the Avengers comes out, I'd much MUCH rather they focus their attention on making another movie in the spirit of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
