Some progress on the sequel to May's big hit Iron Man is being made.  Screenwriter Justin Theroux is in talks with Marvel Studios to write the sequel.  Theroux recently wrote the script for Tropic Thunder.  The first film was written by the Children of Men writers Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby.

I don't see why they wouldn't ask the original writers to come back since they did such a fantastic job.  I'm sure Marvel did ask them but I really don't know.  The only movie Theroux wrote was Tropic Thunder and since we haven't seen it yet, we don't know if it's good or not.  It looks hysterical but I don't know yet. 

I honestly don't think Theroux will get the job but we'll know as soon as an official announcment comes out.
