troubling reports now suggest that Marvel Studios Chairman David Maisel may be taking steps to wreck the company's new cinematic empire before it's even built, by ditching Iron Man director Jon Favreau for the Armored Avenger's sequel. Apparently, Favreau wants a "modest" pay bump to direct Iron Man 2. That seems entirely understandable, given the film's huge success. In response, Maisel reportedly would consider a less expensive replacement. In this Foolish fan's opinion, that's a bad move on Marvel's part. If any studio should know the importance of matching the right directors to their properties, it's Marvel. Get it right -- Sam Raimi and Spider-Man's quirky, hyperkinetic action, Bryan Singer and X-Men's simmering sociopolitical subtext -- and you've got box-office gold. Get it wrong, and you've got... well... Elektra. Or Daredevil. Or the Singer-less, widely panned third X-Men movie, which opened strong but fizzled fast.

Maisel obviously thinks it is the intellectual property of the character that sells tickets but that is not the case. The director has to take some of the acclaim for making the film version what it is. Hiring a different (cheaper) director is a mistake as X-men 3 proves.
