\"\"<\/a>In what is sure to be a disappointment to many fans, it turns out that while Marvel Studios hired<\/a> Die Hard<\/strong> creator Shane Black to direct Iron Man 3<\/strong>, they will be turning to someone else to pen the screenplay for the film. Instead, Marvel has tapped Drew Pearce to script the threequel.<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/a> is reporting that Marvel picked Pearce for the job on the strength of his draft for their in development adaptation of the comic book The Runaways<\/em>.

I’m willing to bet that Black’s strong sense of action will still permeate the screenplay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
