Welcome to Screen Rant's "Geek Picks," where we collect the finest movie-related geekery from around the web for you. Today you'll find undead Star Trek designs; Avengers art; a Disney Sin City; superhero guitar designs and a beautiful Thor. All that and more on this edition of SR's Geek Picks!
With all the success of The Avengers I have been wondering about Jon Favreau. He basically got this whole Avengers ball rolling with the first Iron Man (still my favorite Marvel film) and continued the roll with the less awesome Iron Man 2. THR spoke with the actor/director about Iron Man 3 and The Avengers, and as with all interviews of this nature, he's very politically correct. However, I'd be curious to hear his thoughts off the record.
We know Favreau really wanted to direct The Avengers at some point, and somewhere it has to bother him that he didn't get to. He also says he's going to be heavily involved with Iron Man 3 even without sitting in the director's chair. Check out the link for the full interview.
io9 has listed the 10 best time travel movies of all time. Back To The Future is on the list, so it at least has some validity.
