While not much was said, it should be passed along that producer Peter Billingsley was on hand at the Spike Guy's Choice Award ceremony and Scott Huver from SHH cornered him about the upcoming follow-up to this summer's first smash hit Iron Man. The actors are all enlisted back for the sequel but Jon Favreau is yet to sign on the dotted line (though it's likely to come soon.).
The first film opened in theaters May 1st to a tally of $98.6 million and has since gone on to gross $519.1 mil worldwide. $276.6 of that is domestic while the other $243.0 mil is from international audiences.
Here's what was asked.
CS/SHH!: Are you guys already working on your plans for the next one?
Billingsley: Absolutely. I guess that Marvel kind of controls a lot of that stuff and they seem to have a plan about these things and how they're laid out. I think "The Avengers," now that we can speak publicly about it, will be coming out as well. So we're just thrilled at how much people are loving the film and how well it has done.
CS/SHH!: Any "Iron Man" storylines from the comics that you're primed to adapt for the sequel?
Billingsley: Nothing has really been decided yet, but I'll tell you that there's just such a wealth of great stories. We tease The Ten Rings in the first one for all the comic book fans, so there MIGHT be something there. There's so much to take advantage of, but the most exciting part is that, always, when he's in the suit it's going to be great, because you've got the technology to do it and with Robert and this cast there's so much we can do when he's not in the suit. So I think exploring Tony Stark, his father and sort of more of the dark side of Tony, it's a great opportunity.
