The director said he had been surprised by Marvel's announcement that the superhero sequel will be released on April 30, 2010.
He wrote on his MySpace page: "Neither Robert [Downey Jr.] nor I were consulted about this and we are both concerned about how realistic the date is in light of the fact that we have no script, story or writers hired yet."
He recently told Hollywood.com that the stars of the original film are in negotiations to reprise their roles, saying: "When it comes to the cast of the sequel there is no need to worry - it looks like everyone from Robert Downey to Gwyneth Paltrow is back for more."
Iron Man has been both a critical and commercial success since its release in April.
