With the huge success of Joss Whedon‘s The Avengers, I’m guessing that Disney/Marvel, recognizing what a few dollars can do, have decided to crank up the budget of their next Marvel movie, Iron Man 3.
Per a report from Latino-Review, the production for Iron Man 3 got a budget increase from $140M to $200M. That’s a lot of shwarma! (Oh, and they started principal filming today, 5-23-12)
But in all seriousness, I wonder where the extra $60M will go? Hire some more script folks? Add better visual effects? Longer movie?
Who knows… but what I do know is that the Shane Black directed movie will be the next big Marvel product out there and is the first film after The Avengers that will have the latest and newest clue to The Avengers 2. (Probably). Whether than be in the form of a new scene for TA2, or a tease for the next Marvel movie coming out.
Either way, Marvel has set the bar high with all their pre-Avengers movies and they can’t let it slide or they’ll never hear the end of it.
