Iron Man 3 to hit theatres by 2012

Here comes  Iron Man 3 with a  Bang. Yep it is. Director Jon Favreau has confirmed a third ‘Iron Man’ film by 2012. The filmmaker who is busy now working on the project  “The Avengers”  refused to  confirm when the movie will be finished and released.

‘There’s an ‘Iron Man 3′. Here’s how I know. When they make the option deals, they include ‘Iron Man 3′. So I know they’re planning on making another one,’ said Favreau.

‘Whether that would be before or after ‘The Avengers’ I don’t know. They’ve announced that ‘The Avengers’ is next but they pushed it back once, which I thought was encouraging,’ he added.

‘The Avengers‘ will see Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), the Incredible Hulk (Edward Norton), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and other Marvel Comics heroes join forces for a series of action-packed adventures.

Favreau is rumoured to be the film’s executive producer, but denies he has signed a contract.

‘My involvement has yet to be determined on that project. You’re not going to know about ‘Thor’ for two years, what that really means. And ‘Captain America’, they haven’t even started prepping yet. So there’s a lot of discovery that has to take place before you can understand what ‘Avengers’ really is,’ he said.
