Jon Favreau on The Mandalorian & Samuel L. Jackson’s MOTHERF***ER Post-Credits Scene for Iron Man

Jon talks about the premiere for “The Mandalorian,” getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Robert Downey Jr. putting gum on his star during the ceremony, bringing dinosaurs to life in his show “Prehistoric Planet” on Apple TV+, Jimmy’s nephew Wesley being in “The Mandalorian,” working on several different Star Wars shows at the same time, shooting two different options for the Iron Man post-credit sequence with Samuel L. Jackson, and he presents Jimmy with his very own Star Wars action figure.

Rewatched Iron Man recently, and it's a great film. Sometimes, movies don't really hold up over time, but Iron Man is a solid story with an excellent cast. Bravo Favreau.

[@cuckoonut1208]

Jon Favreau and Dave Filloni are the only ones who really capture the original spirit of Star Wars

[@DannyBrownPodcasts]

Let's not forget Tony Gilroy with Andor (and the work he did on reshaping Rogue One). Some of the best Star Wars since the original trilogy.

[@SomeoneIsAlwaysMovingOnTheSurf]

I like how it also feels like you are with an rpg character going on quests, picking up upgrades and how everyone just wants your shiny armor!

[@Erawk]

Filoni redeemed the prequels with The Clone Wars animated series (sans the movie, though that did give us Ahsoka) and did a great job expanding the universe with Rebels. I feel very confident about any Star Wars properties in his and Favreau's hands.

[@Oneoneone111One]

If he’s widely considered that way is he really underrated? Everyone who talks about him says he’s amazing. People don’t really asked to legend status in their own lifetime when we get the perspective to consider their entire career.

The one and only gripe I have with The Mandalorian, it’s too DAMN SHORT! Come on Jon, give us 45 to an hour episodes. We wait all week and still with the short episodes…

[@darkstorminc]

The length of the season bug me more. It was nice when a season was 22 episodes once upon a time...

[@snerdterguson]

Yeah, and that's why the number of truly great tv seasons was so tiny until HBO started the shorter season trend. Sopranos would have been just a good show if there were 22 episodes every season. It isn't a coincidence that the bulk of the greatest tv series ever are shows with seasons ranging from 6-13 episodes. GoT, Stranger Things, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Sopranos, The Wire. Keeping the episode number down allows them to put more work into each one. It allows them to write a complete story without a ton of filler.

[@snerdterguson]

Adding an extra 10-15 minutes just to reach an arbitrary episode length is a terrible way to make tv. It is always better to just write the story and let that dictate the length of the episode.

[@strikerbowls791]

​@Deep Cut Reactions nonsense

[@multicreativeartist6579]

I think the last episodes will be longer

[@noahjohnson8975]

The absolute highlight of the whole interview (which was littered with some real gems) was Favreau giving a nod to Patton Oswald's IMPROVISED manifesto on Parks and Rec. I think Favreau has been so successful in starting and reviving franchises because he is the perfect blend of true fan and talented craftsmen. Talk about game recognizing game.

[@prettyaverage97]

I find it really amusing how Favreau is, first and foremost, a geek at heart with an incredible talent. It really shows he admires movies, TV shows, comic books etc with all of his passion

[@cod73]

[@kenbozu1]

When they started talking about Sam Jackson, I thought Jimmy was going to ask Favreau if we might see Sam Jackson on the Mandalorian as Mace Windu who prob managed to survive his fall after his fight with Palpatine and Anakin cutting his arm off but he managed to make it back to the Jedi temple to rescue and hide Grogu before Order 66.

[@emu_warrior]

That would be cool. It would p*ss off soo many star wars fans though. But I think it's a cool story. The problem with all these Jedi who survived is...... where are they in the OT and prequels? Either they die before the OT, or they are out hiding/don't want to be involved, which would be weird.

The inspiration for Jackson playing the Fury character comes from "The Utimates" comic book. The Utimates is a version of the Avengers that Marvel published in the early 2000s. In that series the Nick Fury character resembled Jackson. Previously the character looked like Peter Breck from "The Big Valley". The other Avengers were more grounded, and less heroic. Captain America, for example, is portrayed as a jingoistic jock.
