Favreau for Avengers?

From the MTV Blog, Jon Favreau has expressed interest in directing the Avengers film, which will be the follow up to all the other Marvel franchises.

Favreau insists that Marvel will only go ahead with the project if and when all
the individual characters get their own story. It’ll be worth the wait, Favreau
claimed, calling this way not only more impressive and formidable – but more
consistent as well.

“I wonder if the tone of ‘The Incredible Hulk’ is going to be similar or
different than [‘Iron Man’],” Favreau questioned. “And ‘Captain America’ is a
twinkle in Marvel’s eye right now. And ‘Thor’ and ‘Ant Man.’

“[But] in the case of Marvel they’re pretty clear on wanting to do it with
the actors who’ve established the roles or to not do it at all. That’s what
they’ve said to me,” he continued.

It seems that Marvel is confident in want they want to do in the future, unlike another company that just wants throw it all out at the market.

I still need to see how well he does with Iron Man, but I don’t doubt that it’s shaping up to be good.
