"Iron Man 2" and "The Avengers" spin-off

Whoa…. There is an Iron Man 2?! Oh yeah!

Comingsoon.net gives an April 30, 2010 release date for the Iron Man sequel that resurrected Robert Downey Jr. into stardom.

Film Crunch confirmed the news of “Iron Man 2“, straight from the horses’ mouths themselves – director Jon Favreau and Stark-man Robert Downey Jr. The pair attended a live commentary at Santa Monica’s Aero Theater where a special screening of Iron Man was held on September 6. The script is being written by Justin Theroux, of the breakaway hit “Tropic Thunder“.

Thanks to The Game Jerk, watch the series of Q & A videos where Jon Favreau talked about where he wants Iron Man 2 to go -  to still circle the story around the Mandarin, and not to lose the origins but also have the superhero adapt to the advancing times. 

More good news – “The Avengers” spin-off was already conjured while Iron Man was being filmed, such as references with the visible S.H.I.E.L.D logos. So we can expect to see that movie in the future as well.
