Iron Man 2
Release Date: May 2, 2010

Latest News:

Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell in talks to star as Villians in Iron Man 2 (http://www.superherohype.com/news/ironmannews.php?id=7965)

Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler) and Sam Rockwell (Frost/Nixon) are in talks to star as the villains in Marvel Studios' Iron Man 2, being directed by Jon Favreau from a script by Justin Theroux, according to Variety and The Hollywood Reporter.

THR says that Rourke would play a tattooed Russian heavy named Ivan who becomes a man with deadly, technologically enhanced coils. Variety adds that Rourke would play the Crimson Dynamo. "He's considered to be an evil version of Iron Man because he battles the superhero in a nuclear-powered suit of armor," says the trade.

Rockwell would play Justin Hammer, a multibillionaire businessman and a rival of industrialist Tony Stark, AKA Iron Man, being played by a returning Robert Downey Jr.

Rourke and Rockwell would be joining a cast that also includes the returning Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle, who is replacing Terrence Howard.

Another part -- one for Stark's assistant Natasha -- is still open.

The project is eyeing a spring start in Manhattan Beach. Paramount will release the movie May 7, 2010.


Wow............talk about awesome casting possibilities...........

He is, but they're probably dancing around how his main villain is basically "The Chinese Guy."

Or they're being smart and saving him for the 3rd film.

The confusion is out there, but more sources are stating that he will be playing the russian arms dealer and eventual Crymson Dynamo. Makes sense to have Justin Hammer in there. He is some ass that steals Iron Man suit tech specs, and sells them to the highest bidders. I think they are going to go the route of the Armor Wars, where Tony has to fight quite afew armored foes, some being totally lame.

For what its worth my older brother is fraternity brothers with a guy named James Madigan (check out his IMDB page he last worked on the HBO show Rome) when they went to Frostburg and my brother got the following message from this guy about the Iron Man 2 movie (the guy just got hired as some kind of art or visual art director or something)

I just had my first meeting with Marvel yesterday. Holy fucking shit! There's some seriously cool shit going on on this.
I've never seen security so tight on a film. Usually there's art work all over the walls and layouts of the VFX shots. We are under strict rule that NOTHING can be put up and if you do have any art work you have to sign for it and it has an invisible watermark specific to you so they know if you make a copy and it must be kept in a locked drawer. They have already caught some visitors trying to sneak camera phone pictures which can fetch a high price on line. For the scripts they must be signed out and read on sight and returned. Crazy. So I've seen a lot of speculation on line about the script but none of it is really right. I hope it lives up to the hype

I heard they were hoping to shoot for a Hulk 2, but I guess it is now somewhat up in the air. I don't think Edward Norton was that happy with the finished product so that means retooling the series again. And I think Contra is right and that it may now be tied (somehow) to the Avengers movie.

I don't have anything solid to back this up - it's all hearsay.

Will there definitely be a Hulk 2? I would bet they're planning on an Avengers 2 and Captain America 2. Have they takled about Doctor Strange.

Honestly, there has been talk about making virtually every Marvel property into a movie. They have decided to whore out as much as they can.

Strange has been talked about (same with Iron Fist, Namor, and others), but I don't know how he would tie into a movie with Nick Fury. I will admit I am not really up on current Marvel books, especially the Ultimate titles, but I don't recall there being much of a history between Dr. Strange and Fury - or the Avengers in anything more than the occasional crossover event.

Dr. Strange was a member of the New Avengers, after the Civil War incident. He didn't interact with Fury during it, but it wouldn't be hard to write a storyline where he could be introduced separately and then be in the Avengers movie as a resource on magic issues.

After a lot of back and forth, Deadline Hollywood Daily has confirmed today that Mickey Rourke has officially signed on to play a villain in Iron Man 2:

I just heard that ICM has scored its second casting deal for Marvel's Iron Man 2. After at first being low-balled by the studio to the tune of $250K, Rourke has signed on for the role of the Russian villain in the sequel after his agent David Unger got the quote up to a "significant" level despite this punishing economic climate where the studios are taking advantage of talent. (No wonder Mickey kept thanking Unger so profusely in acceptance speeches for the BAFTA, Golden Globes, Spirit, and other awards.) But don't expect Marvel to confirm any of this: they won't until all the i's are dotted and t's crossed on the contracts. I can also tell you that Sony was considering hiring Mickey to play the villain in Spider-Man 4.

Director Jon Favreau will start shooting Iron Man 2 very soon for a May 7, 2010 release date.

UPDATE: Variety adds that Rourke will play "Whiplash, a character that includes elements from that comicbook villain and Crimson Dynamo, another Russian baddie."

And...

E! Online has confirmed with Scarlett Johansson's representative that the actress has indeed signed to play the role of Russian superspy Natasha Romanoff, who doubles as Black Widow.

"Scarlett is thrilled to be a part of Iron Man," her rep, Marcel Pariseau, tells me.

The "center chest thingy" is a power source for the electronics that are keeping him alive (there is an inoperable piece of shrapnel that keeps trying to pierce his heart).

Whiplash creates his own version of it thru what-looks-like-stolen blueprints to power his whips.

In the comics originally, it wasn't the power source but was where he could fire a beam (I think the uni-beam). It may also have helped to keep shrapnel from his heart.

They could have streamlined the movie by removing Rockwall, Jackson, and Scarlet entirely. These cameos and subplots didn't add much, and there were just too many ingredients floating around to tell the primary story well in the time alotted. I understand they want to feature Jackson and Scarlet to build more franchises, but this came at the expense of quality this time and that should be the first priority. Rourke and Downey are the only actors I paid to see here.

The rivalry between Vanko and Stark seemed like it was the primary story of the movie and it had potential but it was never developed enough to become interesting. Whiplash lost credibility as a villain early by not having an exit plan of his own after the race. I would have enjoyed it more if they allowed Whiplash to speak English effectively. Since they introduced the father subplot and this part felt like it had legs, it would have entertaining to play out Tony solving his father's riddle a little more and show flashbacks of his dad and Vanko's dad from the 60's.

I also feel we didn't need a rehash of the same stuff with Pepper we already got in the first one. It would have progressed her character to take the war machine armor and forget about Rhodes entirely after Howard dropped out.

Parts of the plot didn't flow naturally. For example, Tony starting this expo was an act of ambition and then he flipped out at the birthday party in an act of self distruction. I didn't feel this was an effective way to further the film in general or the alcoholism subplot. In fact I don't think it belongs in the movie franchise at all. If they play it out more, it will feel like Leaving Las Vegas on the set of Terminator.

My view is that it's worth watching during he summer, but they missed a chance to make a really good movie due to poor execution. I will not spend more money on the blu ray.

Here's my spoiler-filled issues with Iron Man 2:


For everyone complaining that there is too much going on - yes, there is, but it's all essential to the story. The only non-essential part was really Widow, and for some reason, they kept Widow's cover and had the Shield guy watch Tony.

Question: Tony hired NAtalie to be his assistant after he promoted Pepper. Why the hell did Natalie become Pepper's assistant after Tony quit? That didn't make sense. Natalie was supposed to be watching stark, and you're telling me she based her intel on Tony after less than a week of observing him, if that?

The entire plot if Iron Man 2 occurred over less than 3 weeks, if even that. I remember that the counter of the Stark Expo said either 343 or 353 when Tony got the call from Vanko.


So here are my main problems:

1) Tony and Pepper: There is no relationship here. None. No chemistry. There was more chemistry between Tony and Natalie than there was Tony and Pepper, which makes sense, because Tony ends up with Natalie and Pepper ends up with Happy in the comics. Tony makes NO attempt to hook up with Pepper until the end, so the relationship I got from them (without carryover from the first movie) is brother-sister, not awkward attraction.

2) Whiplash building a suit - IT'S THE SAME FUCKING ENDING AS IRON MAN 1. If anything, Vanko should have just modified his whips, did something to get War Machine out fo the way, and go one-on-one with Tony.

3) Hammer - They made him TOO goofy. It would have been nice to see him with a Steve Jobs like hard edge to him.

Tenbatsuzen
05-08-2010, 09:41 PM
One more spoiler that really irked the FUCK out of me.

It's totally throwaway, but there's a scene where Pepper goes to check her phone. Now, as a heads up, she works for the #1 tech firm in the country. She assists the big boss, and then IS the big boss.

So does she use a blackberry or some kind of smartphone?

No. An LG Env3. Are you kidding me?

I don't expect Marvel Movies to be any less dense, contradictory, or full of holes in logic as the comics. The biggest superheroes in the Marvel Universe (Iron Man, Spider-Man) reveal their secret identities only to take it back issues later. If you look at the grand scope of how ridiculous these characters' stories are in the comics, I can handle some missteps in a movie. For fucks sake, Norman Osborne is a highly major character in the Marvel universe again after being dead for DECADES.....

On that note, my biggest problem with suspending disbelief is that Rhodes went from Terrance Howard black to Don Cheadle black. For me, that's up there with Harvey Dent being Billy Dee Williams black in Batman 1 to being Tommy Lee Jones white in Batman 3.....

Here is one thing that I think we're supposed to understand... that:

Tony's father left a map of the new element in the architectural layout of the Expo center? Is that how that happened? That really didn't make any sense.

Tenbatsuzen:

Yea, how long was that Expo? It started and ended with the movie, and all that happened was in between? Seemed a bit of stretch to think an Expo would last that long.

And as for the director...Jon Faverau...

Did you really have to give yourself that long, unnecessary fight scene just for a hack laugh? Cringe.

Concerning this: I believe that Whiplash knew Stark would be around since he had a car in the race. By causing a commotion on the track, he was hoping to bring out Stark in the Iron Man armor for a showdown. And it was announced to the public just before the race started that Stark was driving his own wheels. I'm sure the public watching the race around the track would have heard something. And if they heard it, Whiplash heard it (hence the lack of surprise on his face when Stark pulled himself out of the car).

By causing a commotion on the track, he was hoping to bring out Stark in the Iron Man armor for a showdown. And it was announced to the public just before the race started that Stark was driving his own wheels. I'm sure the public watching the race around the track would have heard something. And if they heard it, Whiplash heard it (hence the lack of surprise on his face when Stark pulled himself out of the car).

OK, I can buy that. It just seemed he was right there and ready, even disguised as a track emergency worker. It just came across as a little too convenient.

But the showdown at the end with Whiplash was much too short I felt. Not much action at all.

Getting out on Wednesday to see this, really sucks that I'm reading all these negative reviews, though.
It's crazy. I saw it at midnight and loved it. It was well received by the audience where I was too. I think it's one of those cases of the first movie being so good that the sequel can't possibly live up to the hype.

I agree. Would've switched the amount of time spent on fighting drones with the Whiplash battle.
