Director Jon Favreau has revealed a few more details about the unfolding Marvel film universe and it seems that Tony Stark will not be popping up in Marvel's next two movies. MTV Splash Page is reporting that Favreau gave an interview with the LA radio station KROQ where Favreau confirmed that Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark won't have any cameos in Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger. Here's an excerpt from his interview.

"[Downey's] not in Thor, he's not in Cap which are the two movies for next Summer," said Favreau. "It'll be very interesting to see how the Marvel Universe branches off. All of these movies are going to be taken into account for The Avengers in two years."

"I'm not sure where The Avengers goes. There is no shooting draft written yet. It's gonna be a big undertaking for Marvel to actually incorporate what happened in Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger and The Incredible Hulk. All that has to inform one unified vision in The Avengers. It's a very exciting prospect. And certainly, Tony Stark is not going to be involved in any of the movies until that one."


We'll be sure to keep you posted with any further details on any of the upcoming films in the Marvel universe as soon as we have more information.

Thor was released May 6th, 2011 and stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Stellan Skarsgård, Kat Dennings, Clark Gregg, Idris Elba. The film is directed by Kenneth Branagh.

Captain America: The First Avenger was released July 22nd, 2011 and stars Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, Sebastian Stan, Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving, Dominic Cooper, Richard Armitage, Stanley Tucci. The film is directed by Joe Johnston.

    Well that makes sense being that captain america was alive in around the world war 2 age and it probably makes no sense for him to make a cameo in thor

    Not a bad idea. Fanboy anticipation will be at a fever pitch when Avengers hits.

    i cant wait for these movies. im/im2, hulk were all good movies so i know these next few will be awesome too. it's odd that he wont appear in any of those films since he was in hulk and thor and cap am refrences were in im2. that and he was the one that was propositioned by fury about the 'avenger initiative'. but we'll see. he may show up after all.

    Stark doesn't need to cameo in these flicks. Nick Fury does. Not sure how they're going to pull off Thor leading into Avengers without him.

    Makes sense. He was deemed unfit for the team in IM2 (I'm 2? No, Iron Man 2. Why couldn't you just write Iron Man 2 instead of this interpaly? Shut up, that's why).

    He's a consultant.

    This movie's going to be hard to do. Especially if no one is familiar with the heroes UND characters. But really, who'll see Avengers and not the other movies? Huh? Amirite?
