'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'

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.
