Napalm Riot

It's been almost 20 months since Superhero Hype! first talked with actor/writer/director Jon Favreau about his take on Marvel Comics' Iron Man, and there's something cool about being Jon Favreau's last interview of the day on a very busy junket day in New York, where he's been talking non-stop about his fourth and biggest movie as a director.

After all, Superhero Hype! was one of the first people to talk to Favreau about the movie way back at Comic-Con International in San Diego in 2006 (which you can read here). This was before anyone had been cast and they were still developing the story, so it's nice to be able to do bookend interviews, one before the project begins and as the whole thing comes to a conclusion. (Of course, others at SHH! have talked to Favreau since then, at Comic-Con last year and at a set visit shortly afterwards, all which you can read at Iron Man Hype!.)

It was a different setting being at the Waldorf Astoria than at the San Diego convention hall, but Favreau hasn't changed that much, and he had a lot of insightful things to say about the film and character's origins, the casting of Robert Downey Jr. and the direction of the movie and the future of the franchise.
