CBM had the image of what appears to be the Eye of Agamotto which was briefly seen in Odin’s...

Jon Favreau has left the Iron Man films which means Marvel Studios are looking for someone new to step into the director’s seat. Apparently Shane Black has been in meetings with the Marvel Men in Suits to discuss the possibility of directing and it is assumed he could possibly write it.
