Now that I think about it though, Wolverine is Canadian and Thor is Norseman. Heck, Superman is technically an alien so the only justifiable claims for America would be Batman and Spidey.

Yes, but he is certainly not eligible to be president, even though he probably could obtain his short form birth certificate.

Mark Strong is already taken, Daniel Day-Lewis would be nice.

Barring their planet's destruction, I doubt they'd willingly give up his birth certificate.

BTW, Batman in Red Son was beyond hilarious.

Superman Red Son was pretty good. Kind of annoyed by the whole "Global United States", but all in all, good story. The ending was random, and really well done.

That's not what I heard, lol.

I heard Downey didn't want him as director.

Downey and Bridges were the only reasons that Iron Man was any good. If you need to see how good of a director Favreau is just look at Iron Man 2.

Rami's a bit camp-y for my tastes but I think he did a decent job on Spider-Man. Tobey the turd sunk those movies.

If you've seen Iron Man 2 then you noticed that it wasn't quite the movie we'd all hoped for. Actually it wasn't very good. Part of the problem was the movie seemed wrapped around an odd, Avengers-focused, subplot which never really fit into the story. Jon Favreau may not have liked it any more than you or I do.

Our source says Iron Man 2 wasn't the movie Jon Favreau wanted to make. Marvel interfered heavily with his work on the movie and turned the project into an infomercial for The Avengers. Favreau felt the movie was rushed into production (and if you followed the development process you know it was) and they pushed him into making it without a fully realized script. Iron Man 2 wasn't the movie he wanted to make and because of that, if there's an Iron Man 3, there's every reason to think he won't be back. Marvel doesn't want to pay him and Favreau may not want to deal with more Marvel interference.

Favreau wasn't the only one unhappy with Iron Man 2. Robert Downey Jr. saw those same problems and according to our source, "While he's locked for Iron Man 3, chances are, that will be his last movie." In the meantime, Downey will get (and probably deserves) top billing in The Avengers.
