Early look at “Iron Man 2″

Sure, we’re just getting excited about this summer’s big movies, but the first Friday in May 2010 will be the opening for “Iron Man 2″.

This is the first official photo from the set, released yesterday, of Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark aka Iron Man.   Shooting started a few weeks ago and the movie is set for a May 7, 2010 release.

Director John Favreau and the crew are trying to keep a lid on the movie so far, but we know ths much: other than Downey, Jr. who returns as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Samuel L. Jackson is apparently returning as Nick Fury, and Gwyneth Paltrow is back as Pepper Potts.   After a very public disagreement, Terrence Howard was cut and Don Cheadle is his replacement as Col. James Rhodes.  Also new to the cast are Mickey Rourke as one of the villians, plus Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell, and Kate Mara.

Possible spoiler:

The story apparently revolves around the fact that Tony Stark revealed his identity as Iron Man to the world in the first movie… and now he and his team has to deal with the consequences that come with that revelation.

Cast list so far:
Robert Downey Jr. – Tony Stark / Iron Man
Mickey Rourke – Ivan / Whiplash
Scarlett Johansson – Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow
Don Cheadle – Col. James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes
Samuel L. Jackson – Nick Fury
Gwyneth Paltrow – Pepper Potts
