Drew Pearce, who came to Marvel Studios' attention for his script based on the Brian K. Vaughan comic Runaways, has been tapped to write Iron Man 3, according to Deadline. Robert Downey Jr. returns in the starring role, with Shane Black directing. The film is currently scheduled for a May 3, 2013 release.

Drew Pearce has been chosen by Marvel Studios to write Iron Man 3. Robert Downey Jr. will reprise his signature Tony Stark role, and Marvel recently locked Downey's Kiss Kiss Bang Bang helmer Shane Black to direct. Pearce got the job after writing the script for Runaways, a Marvel project based on the cult comic by Lost writer Brian K. Vaughan about children of super villains who try to use their evil powers for heroic purposes. Pearce is the British writer who created the irreverent UK TV series No Heroics, about a bar hangout for superheroes, who aren't allowed to use their superpowers while drinking.
