The Magic Kingdom

Jon Favreau Discusses His Time With IRON MAN and the Allure of THE MAGIC KINGDOM

We learned earlier today that Jon Favreau will not direct Iron Man 3, instead focusing his attention on The Magic Kingdom.  Without too much speculation about what this means for the superhero sequel, this news wield connotations both good and bad.

The bad: Favreau played a major role in making the Iron Man universe so much fun in the first place.  On some level, it would have been nice to see him work with Robert Downey Jr. on the series in perpetuity.  The good: This obviously opens up Favreau to other projects — to spread the wealth, as it were.  He’s got a head start with the wonderful-looking Cowboys & Aliens, and The Magic Kingdom is pure potential.

While in post-production on Cowboys & Aliens, Favreau took the time to reflect on his experience with the Iron Man franchise and look forward to taking on The Magic Kingdom.  Hit the jump to hear what he had to say.
