Video Business has confirmed that Paramount Home Entertainment has set a September 30 release for Iron Man on DVD and Blu-ray Disc.

Amazon.com is currently accepting pre-orders for Iron Man and lists the title as being offered in three different versions - a Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition, a Special Collector's Edition Blu-ray Disc and a Single-Disc Edition.

Marvel Studios will pass out a flash drive containing a sneak peek of the DVD at its Comic-Con booth this week.

Louis Leterrier has revealed not only that Jon Favreau is currently writing Iron Man 2 with Robert Downey Jr., but that the sequel to the Spring blockbuster will feature a new character from the Avengers, after the brief appearance by Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury in the post-credits sequence of Iron Man.

Additionally Leterrier is reported to have said that 2011 will definitely bring Jackson, Downey Jr., Hulk actor Ed Norton and two other 'A-list actors' - presumably whichever A-listers get cast as Thor and Captain America in their respective upcoming movies that Marvel is also producing - together for the Avengers movie.

DoG source 'Mr Miyagi' spoke with Leterrier - who had just come from a meeting with Iron Man director Jon Favreau - at the Marvel Night at the Grand Rex in Paris in early July.

Current expected release dates are Iron Man 2 in 2010, Thor is pencilled in for 2010, Avengers in 2011 while The First Avenger: Captain America is due in May 2011 too.

This is what the new Iron Man Blu-Ray release cover will look like.

The September 30th release will have extras that will include an "I Am Iron Man" documentary, deleted and extended scenes, featurettes ("The Invincible Iron Man," "The Actors Process"), a look at the visual effects, image galleries, a gag from The Onion about the films trailer, and Robert Downey Jr's screentest.

Paramount Home Entertainment will release a one-disc and two-disc special edition of the film on standard DVD.

How could Captain America be the "First Avenger" when Tony Stark started the Avengers ?

Also, Probably ANT-MAN (Goliath) be another film.... An avengers film would be cool...done properly of course and not too fake and disney-ish.....

could be cool to see ANT-MAN shrink to a few millimeters and grow to 100 Feet. that would be bad ass to see him throw cars around like a paper toy.

Paramount has just announced the details for the September 30th DVD/Blu-ray release of Iron Man. The film will be released in a single disc, 2-Disc Ultimate Edition and Blu-Ray Ultimate Edition. Since no one reading this cares about the stupid standard one disc release, let me tell you about the Ultimate Edition and Blu-Ray Disc releases.

The 2-Disc Ultimate Edition will contain 11 deleted scenes (Convoy Ambush, Craps Table with Tony & Rhodey, Tony & Rhodey on Stark Jet and Military Ceremony, Rhodey Saves Iron Man on Freeway, Rooftop Battle, Obadiah Addresses Scientists, Pepper Discovers Tony as Iron Man, Tony Begins Mark II, Dubai Party, Tony Comes Home, Rhodey and General Gabriel), 15 featurettes (?The Journey Begins?, ?The Suit that Makes The Iron Man?, ?Walk of Destruction?, ?Grounded In Reality?, ?Beneath the Armor?, ?It?s All In The Details?, ?A Good Story, Well Told?, ?Origins?, ?Friends & Foe?, ?The Definitive Iron Man?, ?Demon in a Bottle?, ?Extremis and Beyond?, ?Ultimate Iron Man?, ?Wired: The Visual Effects of Iron Man?, ?The Actor?s Process?), The Iron Man: Armored Adventures Trailer, Robert Downey Jr.?s Screen Test, The hillarious fake news report ?Wildly Popular Iron Man Trailer to be Adapted into Full Length Film? from The Onion, a Still Gallery with 175 images (does anyone really look at those?), and a Stan Lee Easter Egg (do they really announce an easter egg in the pre-release advertising? Doesn?t that ruin the whole idea of an easter egg?).

Crave Interviews Justin Theroux Iron Man 2 Script Writer

Crave Online: How did you get Iron Man 2?

Justin Theroux: I don't know. I think obviously Robert was instrumental. He was also a champion of mine. He put in a good word I'm sure.

Crave Online: Have you started it?

Justin Theroux: Yeah. Not really. Everything's sort of on the table. We're still talking about it and that's sort of where that's out.

Crave Online: Do you have any ideas you can tell us?

Justin Theroux: Well, if you have any ideas, that's the stage we're in. Got any bright ideas, send them our way.

Crave Online: Is it intimidating?

Justin Theroux: Yeah, no pressure, dude. Yeah, of course. Hugely intimidating. But also enormously exciting because it's sort of like, you're writing for Robert Downey Jr. so at the end of the day, that's an enormous amount of fun.

Crave Online: How exciting is it to think of all you can do with Iron Man?

Justin Theroux: That's almost the problem. It's kind of like opening an internet page and being like, "Where should I go?" You can go anywhere, do whatever you want. So I've just stopped marinating in all the Iron Man lore that I didn't know and firing up the chainsaw and ready to attack it.

I am certainly buying blu-ray when its out its deserving to be on my telly :D

Iron Man 2 Part 3D?

Just a few minutes ago, I finished a mini press conference with Stan Lee and Jon Favreau. Stan went first, and then we got Jon?each was about an hour. They were both promoting the upcoming ?Iron Man? DVD/Blu-ray.

Anyway, while I?ll have a lot more in the next day or two, the highlight was Jon saying he?d love to do Iron Man 2 in 3D! He also called the IMAX ?Dark Knight? footage a game changer and he said he?d love to shoot part of ?Iron Man 2? in IMAX. Regarding the 3D, he said it?s all about the cost, but if they can make it happen he?d like to do it. He talked about getting to see the armor in 3D and how cool it would be.

While he was a bit cagey about specifics with ?Iron Man 2,? he did mention Mandarin a lot and he said we can expect a lot more surprises in the sequel in terms of other comic book characters.

He also said he hopes to keep the story relatively simple in the sequel, but he hopes to raise the emotional and technical side of the story. Meaning, he wants the stakes to be raised for all the characters, but he?s not going to make it hard for a new audience to understand the story or make it so complicated that you have to work to follow it. He actually mentioned ?The Dark Knight? and said they can keep that side of the playground. He wants to keep ?Iron Man? light and fun.

He did talk about War Machine and mentioned Terrance Howard and his busy schedule. I think he?s definitely going to put on the armor in the sequel?.but that?s just my vibe from the way he talked about it.

With the script still being worked on and a budget still up in the air, everything is subject to change. But the concept of ?Iron Man 2? being in 3D sounds very cool. More very soon from the press day.

Yeah, me too, and luckily thanks to the good folks over at C.H.U.D. there?s a TON of info about not only the next film but some hints about Iron Man 3 as well!

* Director Jon Favreau has been working hard on the script with writer Justin Theroux. Robert Downey Jr. is also involved in the scriptwriting process.

* Terrence Howard gets to play War Machine in the next film.

* Favreau will have more time on screen as Tony Stark?s driver/bodyguard Happy Hogan.

* The series is being planned as a trilogy (which I?ve reported here quite a while ago).

* Although classic Iron Man villain ?The Mandarin? is the behind the scenes villain across the trilogy, Favreau is being very careful with the transition to the big screen. He doesn?t want him to seem goofy or introduce ?magic rings? into the movies.

* While he wants to keep the next two movies very character driven, he is aware that the action was lacking in the first film, especially in the final battle scene. He plans on upping the action quotient in Iron Man 2.

* Now this one?s a bit confusing? He wants to leave the dark superhero thing to The Dark Knight and keep the Iron Man franchise more simple and fun - but he is planning on bringing the ?Demon in a Bottle? storyline into the films. This is the story where Stark succumbs to alcoholism and loses everything. How you keep a movie ?fun? while showing the destruction of Tony Stark due to alcoholism seems like an oxymoron to me.

War Machine! Woot!

And I think what he means by keep it fun while introducing the alcoholism would be to keep that sort of storyline to a minimum. It can be introduced without making the entire film "dark" as we have with the new Batman films.

Cant wait to get this on Bluray.

I think what made this film such a success, was taking the far-out ideas of a superhero like iron man, mixing them with a simple storyline and a lot of subtle comedy. It just worked because it didn't seem too try-hard. Not to mention Downey-Jrs acting. I hope they don't mess with that winning formula in the sequel.
