At the press conference of Iron Man's release, director Jon Favreau announced the news about shooting the sequel of Iron Man, which is expected to be released in 2010. Robert Downey Jr. remains the only choice for the role of Iron Man. The animated hero blockbuster Iron Man, produced by Paramount and Marvel Studios, achieved excellent results with a total box office of $317 million, becoming the runner-up on this summer's box office list. Director Jon said that Iron Man will of course not end here. He also revealed a lot of information about his current plans and progress for Iron Man at the press conference. Jon stated that he currently invited Justin Theroux to write the script for Iron Man. Theroux is a talented person who can write, direct, and act. As a screenwriter, he has already collaborated with Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder, which topped the weekend box office for three consecutive weeks during this summer. However, regarding the scene in The Incredible Hulk where Iron Man appears at the end, Jon said that he currently has no idea how the subsequent plot will develop. Recently, with The Dark Knight topping the box office, many fans are also eager to watch Iron Man on the super-large screen. These have prompted Jon to consider shooting the sequel in a certain way to bring it to the big screen. However, Jon indicated that whether it can be smoothly realized depends on the financial investment from the production company.
