“They were fans of my take, and they wanted someone in the room that came from comics and knew the Iron Man culture,” Fraction told MTV News. “It was basically a story workshop for about a week. They liked the real-world stuff. They liked the fact that it took place 20 minutes from now. And they liked that Stark was the guy with the horrible past and a hopeful future.”

There's been a lot of back-and-forth on the “Iron Man 2” front recently, from potential Black Widow Emily Blunt's scheduling conflicts and Mickey Rourke's uncertain casting and/or role (no Crimson Dynamo?), to Samuel L. Jackson saying he might not be returning for any Marvel movies. Fraction, however, has faith in the Iron Man's movie future.

“Favreau is a terrific director, a terrific guy, he feels and believes so strongly in what he does that I trust that whoever gets cast, gets cast because he’s the best person for the job,” said Fraction. “I can’t wait to see it. It's going to be a hell of a movie.”
