According to Pearce, “Shane stood up himself and said, ‘I’ve been working with him all week. I’ve found him to be both a gentleman and a man of honor, and I would be happy to write Iron Man 3 with him.’ And then what’s crazy is, between then and two and a half years later, when the movie came out, no one else touched a keyboard on Iron Man 3 other than Shane or I.” It was one Marvel movie that didn’t end up with a WGA arbitration.
