'Iron Man' Gets X-Men Writer David Hayter

[Thursday, April 22nd, 2004]
X-Men writer David Hayter has signed on to rewrite Iron Man in a seven-figure deal, according to Variety.

Iron Man first appeared as a Marvel comic in 1962. It's the story of billionaire inventor Tony Stark, whose work in corporate espionage and international terrorism leads to an accident that forces him to go on life support in the form of high-tech body armor.

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, creators of the WB's top-rated "Smallville," wrote the previous draft.

Iron Man is expected to be a major release in 2005 for New Line.
