Iron Man movie coming in 2008

Sure, we love the scantily clad starlets, but we also love SUPER-HEROES. So we are very excited to learn that IRON MAN will be making the jump to the big screen in 2008. The movie will be directed by Jon Favreau (Swingers, Zathura). E Online also hits that at least one Marvel Comics character should be making their way to the big screen for the next few years. Who says the super hero movie trend is over?

Batman last summer. Superman this summer. Spider-Man next summer. And coming in summer 2008: A superhero in a can.

A big-screen, live-action movie about the armor-encased Marvel Comics’ character known as Iron Man will break into theaters on May 2, 2008, Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment announced Friday.

The moves positions Iron Man as the first popcorn picture of summer 2008, as well as the first one with a definitive release date. Other high-profile projects circling the territory include additions to the Chronicles of Narnia and Indiana Jones franchises.
