I think he probably won't, since favreau had a falling out with marvel? Maybe, though.
Really? Over what?
He is not directing iron man 3 because they wouldn't pay him what he asked, or at least that is what people were saying when that news hit.
Usually contract stuff like that that results in something not being made ends poorly, I don't know.
Like, I bet terrance howard is none too pleased.
So he has now joined the list with Terrance and Edward then?
Marvel does not want to seem to spend money on talent do they?
I read that Ed Norton not being in The Avengers wasn't a matter of money, but of Marvel not wanting to give Norton the level of creative control over the film that he required.
Also I love that Tom Hiddleston has an Olly Moss designed Thor poster on the wall behind him in the picture in the OP.
Also I love Tom Hiddleston. 8->
Yeah they gave that poster to everyone who worked on the film, I believe. The entire cast and crew. Pretty neat.

Terrence Howard was paid more than Downey in the first film and Marvel understandably didn't want that happening again.
But yeah Marvel has been really thrifty when it comes to paying talent
But it isn't like Favereau has washed his hands of Marvel and hates them now
he is still an Executive producer on Avengers and was on set at least once.
I know he wasn't super happy over Iron Man 2 but I don't think Marvel really screwed him over or anything.
Same with Howard and Norton. Howard shouldn't have been getting a bigger paycheck than Downey any way you cut it and the stories I read said he was asking for more than he made the first movie, and Marvel kept Norton out of the Avengers because he is a bad team player and the film would have enough troubles getting made as is without having someone mess up the ensemble. Which makes even more sense now that it seems like the Avengers cast gets along great.
I think the fact that Favereau got that directing job with Disney and still gets an EP credit for the Avengers shows that whatever happened behind closed doors everybody did pretty well in the negotiations.
and this isn't even OH HOW DARE HE MAKE FUN OF THE AVENGERS! I love a good parody! Parodies are awesome!
but Iron Muslim? ScienThorology? Are you fucking kidding me?
Chris Haley is drawing the Captain American, ugh, Idol one which alone is enough to get me to stop reading LBFA. I have a very hard time reading him making fun of Marvel/DC for decisions when he attaches himself to shit like this, paycheck be damned.
and to make it even worse, Johnston opens the article with a giant fuck you to Mark Waid.
Johnston you are everything that is wrong with comics.

Blank I think that post may also be everything that is wrong with comics.

Blake you don't follow comics so you may not know who Rich Johnston is
he is a rumor mongering "journalist" who literally gets paid hundreds of dollars to write articles like "DC is Announcing Something Big Tomorrow". He is sub-Kotaku level of journalism.
and he is getting paid at least several hundred dollars to write those. Which will be published and sold.
It is disgusting. The writer who he insults, Mark Waid, is considered one of the best and nicest guys in the business. He has called him "everything wrong with comics" which is why I used that sentence.
Picture it. You’re Mark Waid, flicking through the Boom! listings in Previews (out tomorrow folks) and you come across this ad (which one retailer very kindly sent to me). It’s enough to make you choke on your Cheerios.
Waid has said he does not like Johnston nor Bleeding Cool before and left Boom editorial last year.
Didn't he do that rumor monger site with the traffic lights coinciding with how much he agrees with it?
Yeah, Lying in the Gutters. It was a feature on...CBR? I think CBR. He shut it down to start a site where he got all of the ad revenue and other profits for doing the same thing except with more rumors.

Were there actually rumors that Spidey was going to be in this movie
Never any really substantial ones
it mostly came from an extra/crew lady saying that a trailer was "Iron Man and Spider-Man's" and then some guys saying MAN SONY WANTS TO GET ANDREW GARFIELD SOME ADVERTISING FACETIME ANY WAY THEY CAN

I'm not really old school.
I more went to uni for a few years and dropped out and kept dropping into classes to see everyone.
Johansson is an inoffensive actor but I've never really understood the internet hype for her. She's very attractive yes but so is every other hollywood starlet and nothing about her attractiveness is unique in any way.
She's got a face that I find beautiful, not in a "oh god let's bone" kinda way but more of a "Holy shit I wish I was talented enough to paint your portrait" kinda way.

I guess. To me, she's attractiveness with no life. Just good and fortunate genetics. With the Pepper Potts character, it's much easier to point out what specific things are attractive about her. Might all be up to the differences in their acting, but I just find Johansson kind of a boring beauty.
well it's not like she got much of a character arc
her plotline was "flirt with tony stark, beat up some dudes, exit stage left"
Oh yeah, for sure. That's part of the reason her whole fad is puzzling to me. With lots of actresses, a really good role will do a lot to make people find them attractive. Directors and makeup artists will know how to bring out all the attractive parts, and if the actress is any good, she'll be able to breath life into a character, which can of course be quite attractive by itself depending on the character.
Johansonn hasn't had any roles like that. (at least, in fairness, that I've seen) So it's just the internet has latched onto to her for being pretty. Not even particularly more pretty than other actress. (a wholly subjective opinion of course) It's not a big deal or anything, and people certainly aren't wrong for thinking so. Just kind of a thing I can't really relate to and am curious to explore why.
well it's not like she got much of a character arc

She still had a character to play. She is completely unbelievable as a spy. She spits out the lines full of jargon without conviction or emphasis. Honestly her reading reminds me of kids reading Shakespeare in an English class.

She got a ton of critical buzz for Lost in Translation and Girl With A Pearl Earring, then starred in two pretty well received Woody Allen films. She has avoided stupid romcoms and such for the most part. Because of that she has a reputation as being more intelligent than your average starlet. If there's anything nerds like more than a pretty girl, it's a pretty girl that they think is smart.
How about the world don't move to the heat of just one drum.
What might be right for you, may not be right for some.
It isn't because some people like it
some people have different taste, that doesn't mean they are terrible or should be thought less of.
It is that all these journalists and creators that make fun of Marvel and DC for selling out or making financially motivated decisions are just telling Haley CONGRATULATIONS ON THE GIG MAN and he literally said "he doesn't care where the money comes from."
It would be totally fine if he didn't run a webcomic/was a recurring guest on ComicsAlliance that mocks Marvel and DC for similar decisions, but he does which makes him a big ole hypocrite.
EDIT
Oh the ScarJo thing
man it is late and I have gotten super frustrated over this I should sleep
Centipede this Avengefuls shit is making me lose respect for so many people
who besides Chris Haley?
Sims and Franklin and Matt Digges(the artist for Awesome Hospital) are all saying congratulations to him and saying that anyone who is saying him taking the job is ridiculous is an idiot/asshole/whatever

Jealous

Nobody got screwed.

Why would anyone diss Mark Waid?

also how he kept plugging his site in the comments sections of other, better sites

So you were old, at a school
And I graduated young, but take a few classes to stay sharp, like Pierce Hawthorn.
Also, I still get the college newsletter.

she's just getting talked about on the internet a lot right now because she's gonna be in a big comic book movie
