Spidey's New Director?

News is breaking that Marvel and Sony have found their writer/director for the new Spider-Man franchise in Drew Goddard.  Goddard had been developing a Sinister Six movie for Sony before the new deal with Marvel was made to work together. 

Drew Goddard directed and co-wrote ( with Joss Whedon ! ) 2012's Cabin in the Woods. He also has writing credits for several projects including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Lost, World War Z and Cloverfield. He was set to be a producer and show runner for Marvel and Netflix's Daredevil series before being stolen by Sony for a Sinister Six film. 

Also reported is that this new Spidey franchise will carry the title "Spectacular Spider-Man", and there ( thankfully! ) will not be another origin story.  Peter Parker will also find himself back in high school, and could face the Sinister Six in the first movie already. 

Lastly, part of this breaking story is that the new Spider-Man movie will include Iron Man.  Tony Stark would be putting Peter Parker through an "audition" of sorts to join the Avengers. Is this the big announcement Robert Downey Jr was teasing last week and it's leaking out a little early? Perhaps so, stay tuned.

No Plans For Iron Man 4

As a Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fan and especially the Iron Man movies, I was pretty bummed to hear that there won’t be a fourth installment of the series. Variety received this answer when they asked Robert Downey Jr. about a fourth movie at the Toronto Film Festival.

“There isn’t one in the pipe,” Downey said. “No, there’s no plan for a fourth ‘Iron Man.'”

Nothing has been confirmed by Marvel/Disney yet, so who knows we still might see Tony Stark in another standalone.

RDJ has been confirmed (signed on) for two more movies as the man behind the armor, two Avengers sequels. Avengers: Age of Ultron is set to hit theaters next summer and the other Avengers title (yet to be named) will be in 2018.

What does this mean for Iron Man?

What does Marvel have planned for Iron Man? Do you think they will reboot the series after the third Avengers sequel? Do you think anyone else can portray the playboy billionaire as well as Robert Downey Jr.?
