The Golden Globe Awards are so yesterday. The big news is that Jon Favreau is not going to direct Iron Man 3 for Marvel Studios.

Marvel, known for keeping their costs as low as possible, wasn’t likely to pay him. He also took the job to develop and direct a big tentpole for Disney based on their theme parks called Magic Kingdom.
