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 the year. And 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 indicated that Iron Man will certainly not end here. He also revealed quite a bit of information about his current plans and progress for Iron Man at the press conference. Jon said that he has currently invited Justin Theroux to write the script for Iron Man. Theroux is a talented individual who can write, direct, and act. As a screenwriter, he has already collaborated with Iron Man star 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 made an appearance, Jon stated that he currently has no idea how the plot will develop. Additionally, with The Dark Knight recently ascending to the top of the box office, many fans are eager to watch Iron Man on the big screen, which has prompted Jon to consider shooting the sequel in a similar way to bring it to the big screen. However, Jon noted that whether this can be smoothly realized depends on the financial investment from the producers.
