When he’s not busy writing a Star Wars movie, screenwriter Gary Whitta now finds himself passing the time writing an online crossover between Marvel’s Iron Man and Downton Abbey.
Entitled Downton Abbey: The Stark Ascendancy, the story began as a joke tweet where Whitta told Twitter followers that he’d post pages if enough people retweeted his original message.
