Iron Man

As long as Vaughan stays on script duties, it'll be fine.
Runaways is easily one of the most simple to translate comic properties out there. The only difficulties they COULD run into are Karoline's powers and the Giborim themselves (If they even make it in). The entire initial cast, aside from Karoline and Molly, is made up of baseline humans with some form of gimmick (The fistigons should be easy enough and Gert's raptor won't be anything difficult). It's also a rather new property, meaning it'll be easy to translate. Hell, the first volume can be read easily in an hour or two.

There are some murmurs 'round places that given the broad success of the lighthearted first movie Marvel is having second thoughts about exploring Stark's alcoholism in the sequel. I'm skeptical, but with movie execs you never know.
Jackie Blue:
I seriously do not want Iron Man 2 to have any fucking thing to do with Stark being an alcoholic. Nobody does, in fact. The movie is so good because he's a hard-partying wise-ass, I do not want the sequel to call for Downey Jr to reprise his role from Less Than Zero.
Orbert:
I'd heard that they were thinking of making a whole series of Iron Man movies, and read a quote from RDJ saying he'd do 15 of 'em, because he's a huge Iron Man. That's a lot, but if they did several, it might not be too awful if they explored Stark's problems a few movies down the road. In the Marvel Universe, this is what happened, and Rhodey took over for a while (which is why he looked at the suit and said "Next time"), so it would be canonical.
Once the franchise has been established and kicked ass a few times, it might not be bad for a change of pace. But doing it in the very first sequel would be a mistake. They need to build a little more momentum up first.

Ummm, I'm pretty sure just about every fan of the character would be effectively bullshit if they didn't cover it. Stark's struggle with alcoholism was one of the most definitive and intriguing storylines ever put down in comics. I'd be willing to put down money that you're in the minority on not wanting to see it.
