Favreau Talks IRON MAN

While director Jon Favreau danced around some Iron Man questions posed by MTV's Josh Horowitz, he did reveal a few details about the upcoming adaptation of the comic superhero. One, the running time looks to be between 1:45:00-2:00:00 in length as he doesn't "think it should go much longer than two". He also revealed him doing a cameo, gave a loose answer that we should indeed expect our next trailer at the Super Bowl (Feb 3rd) and that this film is nearing full completion with only CGI work to finish up.
