Me likey!

Iron Man 2 takes place "six months after Stark revealed his identity as Iron Man" at the end of the first movie. Favreau explains that the story this time will indeed involve a little bit of that public relations crisis. "How many superheroes are open about their true identities?" Favreau asks. "We wanted to play with that idea. But it obviously has consequences — in his relationships, on the team. There are a lot of areas we can explore." As for the villain(s) or how much we'll get to see of S.H.I.E.L.D., Favreau won't be talking about that.

Here's the full article from USA Today

Quote:

Tony Stark is out of the superhero closet, and it's no picnic.

The sequel to last summer's blockbuster, which began shooting three weeks ago and opens May 7, 2010, takes place six months after Stark revealed his identity as Iron Man, says director Jon Favreau. And the development is playing out with unexpected results. "How many superheroes are open about their true identities?" he asks. "We wanted to play with that idea. But it obviously has consequences — in his relationships, on the team. There are a lot of areas we can explore."

He hopes to have all other Iron Man 2 details locked down — even though he's sending dispatches via Twitter from the set. "It's never easy with summer movies, but we're trying to keep as much a surprise as possible," he says.

That means no new dirt on replacing Terrence Howard with Don Cheadle, or how the crime-fighting team S.H.I.E.L.D. will ultimately come together. Or how he'll work in new characters. Among those signed on for this go-round are Mickey Rourke as Whiplash, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer.

Favreau says that tackling the franchise a second time is easier because he knows the landscape. Something else would help, too: "I really enjoyed when we were a dark horse and no one knew much about us. ... I hope we can find that place again."

It is exciting to see this coming along. Hopefully the second will be as good as the first.

SlmShdy1 · 05-01-2009, 05:08 AM

I just want to see Hulkbuster Iron Man.

vegeta88 · 05-01-2009, 05:56 AM

Any Iron Man 2 news gets me excited. I like the hall of armor (as it looks like to me); I wonder if any suits are just out of frame...

LynxFX · 05-01-2009, 06:06 AM

I want those monitors.

hardcorefrokid · 05-01-2009, 06:09 AM

Sweet!

I think I'd have a geekgasm if he busts out the Silver/Burgundy suit from the 80's.

Cant wait for this one.

Love the photo. I like all the versions of his Iron Man/War Machine suit in the background.

Hulk will crush Iron Man like he would a tin can. What is Iron Man going to do to the Hulk? Fire some puny rockets at him? Hulk SMASH!!!

I'd be more surprised if it wasn't. I liked the first but now that they got the origin story done it should be even better.

Cisco in HD · 05-01-2009, 03:13 PM

I know it just started shooting, but is there an ETA on when it'll hit theaters? Next summer, most likely?

I hope they don't introduce Hulkbuster armor in a movie that doesn't involve the Hulk.

Buzz is that Hulk might serve as the baddie for the Avengers flick, right? I say save the Hulkbuster for that one.

And folks, don't get your hopes up. Number 2s can always come out to be much worse than the first one.

Teabaggins · 05-01-2009, 03:49 PM

they might have a cameo of hulk buster armor in the background or something.

iron man has always gotten his ass handed to him by the hulk in the past so it will be cool to see the suit get ripped apart in a live action sequence in Avengers.

brettallica · 05-01-2009, 03:57 PM

I knew they go with the multiple suit idea for the second flick. I hope this sequel is half as good as the first. I'll be happy in that case.
