It looks like all that Spiderman/X-men money has done Marvel really well. They will be releasing Iron Man starring Robert Downey Jr. as billionaire Tony Stark. I guess this really isn't "Indie". I'm sure there is a lot of money being poured into this project. Ex-Swinger Jon Favreau will direct. I was never a huge fan of the Iron Man books, of course I never read any of them, so that could have been the problem.
