Movement on ‘Iron Man 2′… A Writer

Justin Theroux set to pen the sequel

Justin Theroux

Justin Theroux’s work as a screenwriter is limited, limited to Tropic Thunder and nothing more. Now, he has been handed the keys to the 2010 castle as Paramount has hired him to write Iron Man 2, a follow-up to this year’s highest grossing film.

Theroux is best known as an actor in such films as Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, Miami Vice, the HBO mini-series “John Adams” as John Hancock and he will also have a small part in Tropic Thunder. Last year he directed Mandy Moore and Billy Crudup in Dedication, marking his feature film directing debut just as Tropic Thunder marked his scripting debut.

Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. are both back for the sequel as director and star respectively. There is no word on plot or what direction the film will be heading.
