Jon Favreau har haft en häftig resa som filmskapare. Från småskaliga komedier som Swingers till att bli Disneys stora älskling genom att styra över miljardproduktioner som Iron Man och The Jungle Book. Kärlekssagan med Disney kommer dessutom att fortsätta. I en intervju med Collider pratar Favreau om hur det är att jobba med så pass stora produktioner och nämner även att han i nuläget planerar att regissera både The Jungle Book 2 och nyversionen av Lejonkungen direkt efter varandra.
Jon Favreau:
I think we're kind of learning a lot about how this all works right now I'm kind of full bore into developing the tools to tell the story for Lion King, because you're sort of developing whole new sets of tools for each production. And right now in the story phase, getting the story right for Jungle Book 2. I don't know. Right now the plan is that we go right from one into the other, but I know from having worked on two superhero movies back to back, these take many many many years. I was working on Marvel movies for like four years back-to-back. It's a big chunk of your life and you have to make sure that you're excited and can bring all of your attention and concentration to bear on this, because they are really big puzzles. Every film is a puzzle you have to solve — these highly technical ones are like 3D chess. There's like a whole other level to it that has to be understood and learned.
