Iron Man 2 Movie Poster: War Machine Revealed

by Peter Sciretta


Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment have premiered the first official movie poster for Jon Favreau’s Iron Man 2 on Yahoo. A poster usually means that a trailer isn’t far off. The new poster plays off the number 2 and features Iron Man back-to-back with War Machine.  Favreau previously hinted on his twitter account that we might see the first trailer for Iron Man 2 attached to Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes, which hits theaters on Christmas Day. Check out the full poster below.

Iron Man 2 Movie Poster

Here is what we know about the film so far:

    * Sam Rockwell plays a fast-talking weapons manufacturer named Justin Hammer, “who fancies himself the next Tony Stark”. He sells Stark the weapons he uses to construct War Machine.
    * Mickey Rourke plays Russian criminal Vanko, who creates his own battle-suit while incarcerated in a Soviet prison.
    * Whiplash’s suit “shoots devastating, whip-like beams.”
    * Hammer and Whiplash join forces to take on Stark/Iron Man.
    * Scarlett Johansson plays Russian superspy Natasha Romanoff (aka the Black Widow), who is hired as Stark’s assistant which inevitably sparks romantic tension between Stark and former assistant Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), who’s been promoted to CEO of Stark Industries.
    * Tony is trying to learn more about his father’s mysterious past, specifically the Stark Expo, which must “play a major role in the energy crisis, which is a chief issue in the film.”

Iron Man 2 will hit theaters on May 7th 2010.

I'm really hoping for an astounding hi-tech fight scenes of course!...and most importantly, a great story about friendship, love affair, and about Tony's father’s mysterious past!  I'm sooo excited to see the full official trailer of Iron Man 2 movie!

Iron Man 2 Armor Graces Empire Magazine Cover

by Ross Miller

Way back in April we got our first official look at the highly-anticipated comic book sequel, Iron Man 2, in the form of an image of Tony Stark (a.k.a. Iron Man) in what appears to be his “Hall of Armor” room. From then on we’ve slowly and surely been getting more looks at the superhero sequel, from Mickey Rourke as villain Whiplash, to Scarlet Johansson as the Black Widow.

Everything has looked great so far, and that trend continues with this latest image, courtesy of the guys over at Empire.
     
 Empire has an exclusive new image of Tony Stark in the famous red and gold suit  as the center-piece of their January 2010 cover. On top of the awesomeness of seeing the Iron Man suit in all its high quality glory (do you really need more than that? :P ), there’s also some hinting at the film’s villain, Whiplash, by way of the Empire lettering being done in the style of electricity. It’s very cool indeed and… oh I’ll stop and just let you get a good look for yourself.

Enjoy:

Image source

Pretty awesome, huh? On top of this new image, the Empire issue will also feature some brand new behind-the-scenes photos from the movie, and will be available this Thursday (tomorrow) to buy. These guys really get some great stuff – particularly killer images like the one above – and so they should, as they’re fantastic at what they do (I’ve been a loyal reader for years).

Like so many of you out there, I really can’t wait for Iron Man 2. Not just because the first one was good (not The Dark Knight good, but still… oohh, did I say something wrong? :P ), but all the elements seem to be coming together perfectly (at least as far as we can tell as outsiders looking in):

Along with seeing the return of Robet Downey Jr. as the titular hero, there’s also the addition of both Rourke and Johansson as Whiplash and the Black Widow, respectively. Add to that Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer and Don Cheadle (replacing Terrence Howard) as Col. Rhodes/War Machine, and all that great casting is enough reason for me to see this film. But there’s also the general feeling that the sequel will be “bigger and better” than the first, and by the looks of what we’ve seen that’s been a grand accomplished by Favreau and Co.

Summer 2010 can’t get here fast enough!

I really can't tell the differnce at first glance!  But the suit still looks awesome!  I can't wait to see the complete official trailer!

Apparently Odin's chamber for 'Thor' wasn't the only Marvel movie peek Brian Michael Bendis got this week. He also says he saw "Iron Man 2."

'Iron Man 2' Starting to 'Take Its Final Look'

according to aceshowbiz,

Jon Favreau has just given an update on "Iron Man 2". On Sunday, November 15, the helmer took it to his Twitter page to announce that the film is starting to enter its final phase. "Digital animated shots starting to come in. The movie is beginning to take on it's final look," he wrote.

Previously, Favreau spilled a detail of the "Iron Man" sequel when talking about the inclusion of War Machine in the film. "Then we have Don Cheadle. We've upped Rhodey's significance in the film and now I think the cat's out of the bag about War Machine, so he's in that suit. How does he become War Machine? What's his relationship to Iron Man?" he stated.

Later, Sam Rockwell, who will be seen as Justin Hammer in the second movie, also addressed the War Machine. "Don and I, we're working together. He works with me in spite of some of my personality flaws," he said on the relationship between his Tony Stark's rival character and Cheadle's Colonel James "Rhodey" Rhodes. "Don's character, Rhodey, needs to work with me. He has no choice. So we team up and we build this fabulous War Machine."

In "Iron Man 2", Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow are back to reprise their roles as Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. Joining the star-studded cast ensemble are Mickey Rourke, Samuel L. Jackson, and Scarlett Johansson. Penned by Justin Theroux, the film eyes a May 7, 2010 release date in the U.S.

Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer in Iron Man 2

This is the fictional character biography of Justin Hammer:

He is a multi-billionaire businessman. He was born in Surrey, England, and later became a citizen of Monaco.  An industrialist, a rival of industrialist Tony Stark, later became a criminal financier using unethical methods.  In exchange for fifty percent of the crime profits, he would pay bail for costumed criminals and finance the development and replacement of both their weaponry and equipment...

...and based on the this image,

He is much older than Stark!!! 
So, what happened?





Rockwell told MTV News:

    “They wanted to go with a rival for Tony Stark who is closer to his age, and make him American”













Now, accoding to MTV Splash Page 'EXCLUSIVE'

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

When "Iron Man 2" actor Sam Rockwell dropped by Splash Page HQ recently, we asked him about the relationship between his character (rival industrialist Justin Hammer) and Don Cheadle's character (Stark's military buddy James "Rhodey" Rhodes). After all, they seemed pretty chummy in the "Iron Man 2" trailer that premiered during Comic-Con in San Diego this year.

"Don and I, we're working together," said Rockwell of the pair's relationship. "He works with me in spite of some of my personality flaws."

Pressed for more details about those "personality flaws," Rockwell called Hammer "a bit of a shark." According to the actor, Hammer's relationship with Rhodes is one of necessity, not of choice.

"Don's character, Rhodey, needs to work with me. He has no choice," said Rockwell. "So we team up and we build this fabulous War Machine."

Knowing that his character played an integral role in creating the War Machine armor, one would think he'd take advantage of the opportunity to try it on. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be.

"I really wanted to, but Don wouldn't let me," said Rockwell.

Don Cheadle Dishes on 'Iron Man 2'

By: Nicholas White

In next year's 'Iron Man 2,' Don Cheadle, who takes over for Terrence Howard in the sequel, says the movie's technical complexities were an unforeseen challenge for the veteran actor.

"The special effects, the amount of things that happen, the amount of CGI," Cheadle told Moviefone at Thursday's Ante Up for Africa event outside L.A., to benefit Darfur charities. "It's like getting to play with the best toys at the best level.

"I think the character that I play, my CGI character worked as much as I worked," reveals Cheadle, who plays Col. Jim Rhodes and War Machine in the movie. "The stuntman worked as much as I worked. It's a huge undertaking. It was great. It was a really different experience than I have worked on before. Robert [Downey Jr.] is a great guy to work with. Jon Favreau, everybody is quality. It's a lot of fun, the series."

Cheadle is also signed for the same role in the upcoming 'Avengers,'but Cheadle says that movie is "down the road."

A controversy that has dogged Cheadle since signing onto 'Iron Man 2' last October was his replacing of his pal Howard, who was not asked back for the second one, reportedly because of a money disagreement.

Cheadle said Thursday of taking over for Howard, "The sort of ancillary buzz around it was kind of weird, kind of strange. Terrence is a friend of mine. But the actual playing it, I just felt like it was my role. I wasn't made to feel like I had to sort of take care of what was done before. I really feel like I could make it my own."

Cheadle's Ante Up for Africa event, which was attended by friends Marlon Wayans, George Lopez, Cheryl Hines, and Mekhi Phifer, was co-hosted by poker pro Annie Duke, to benefit Darfur charities. It is the second annual Ante Up for Africa.

=========================================

Don Cheadle is a great actor.  In my opinion, he will do an excellent job.  Also, to all people responsible for the CGI, nice work guys!!!
I can't wait for Ironman 2!!!

Stan Lee in Iron Man 2

Stan Lee has lots of roles in Marvel movies.  It was great [and funny] to see him in Marvel movies based on comics he created,  especially in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, when he was not invited in Reed and Sue's wedding!  Stan Lee was seen attempting to enter the celebration!  B-)

So, here's a movie news from ReelzChannel regarding Stan Lee in Iron Man 2:

In July, word got out that Stan Lee's cameo in Iron Man 2 would be as either CNN newsman Larry King or as someone asking Robert Downey Jr. (as Tony Stark) when he would appear on King's show. Lee confirmed with MTV that he would indeed be playing King.

Stan Lee said,
    "For some reason, they wanted me to wear suspenders and heavy glasses, and they treated me as though I was Larry King. So I finally, for the first time in my life, felt like I was a celebrity."

Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow

Scarlett Johansson will be playing Black Widow for Iron Man 2.  She is sooo sexy in her costume,...she described it as tight! So, guys?  Do you want to be Black Widow's suit! =)

Trivia
The Black Widow appears in the 2005 The Punisher video game for one level, as a non-playable character (NPC) who fights alongside the Punisher.

Anyway, here's a video from the set of Iron Man 2 that was aired in ET:
