Though New Line and Marvel Studios announced last November that Nick Cassavetes would direct the big screen adaptation of IRON MAN, apparently the deal was not officially set. He is still involved with the film and is currently "working on a rewrite of the script by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, and David Hayter." But he is not set at the director.

Since casting has not taken place then the picture is now scheduled to hit theaters sometime in 2007.

Marvel has stated they want Cassavetes to direct the film but New Line is holding back still on committing.
