IRON MAN 2 Official First Image
USA Today unveils the first "official" image from IRON MAN 2 [via MovieWeb] showing the illustrious inventor billionaire in the foreground (probably twittering and stressed that folks have been un-following him) and a row of Iron Man armor variants in the background = *COOL*
Robert Downey Jr. returns as billionaire "Tony Stark" aka Iron Man (no secret identity issues here, as he outed himself in the first movie). Reoccurring characters include Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper-"I-nearly-slept-with-my-boss"-Potts, and Samuel L. Jackson as guest-star-at-credits'-end "Nick Fury" of S.H.I.E.L.D. Jon Favreau returns as both the movie's director, as well as bodyguard/friend "Happy"-Hogan. [FYI: All info via IM2-IMDB credits].
Terrance Howard has been replaced by Don Cheadle as "Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes" (aka "War Machine" in the comics). Folks say tis the villains that maketh the hero - and amidst all the internet-rumours swirling thus far (I read but not post), the sequel seemed to have taken on a decidedly Soviet-flavour with the inclusion of Scarlett Johansson as super-spy "Natasha Romanoff" aka Black Widow (shown left / Greg Land does a fab Natasha, IMHO), and Mickey Rourke as "Ivan" aka Whiplash (not Crimson Dynamo as everyone had hoped, it seems. And "Whiplash" is a woman in the comics?). Sam Rockwell rounds out the "villains" as fellow-billionaire and Stark-Industries-competitor "Justin Hammer".
Will be updating both TRE and my IRONMANFAN dedicated-movie fanblog with anything and everything IRON MAN 2 movie and toy news to come - leading up to the film's premiere in 2010. PM me info and news at toysrevil@yahoo.com :)
