View Poll Results: How much do you anticipate this movie?
With those words at the end of the 2008 summer hit Iron Man, Tony Stark's future was irrevocably about to change. Moviegoers will find out how on May 7, 2010 when Iron Man 2 blasts onto the screen with plenty of familiar faces and a few new ones. Oh, did you doubt a sequel was coming? With an estimated $582 million worldwide box office gross, Iron Man secured the Marvel character's place as a ripe A-list property. Certainly, just reward for a film with a charismatic lead (embodied by Robert Downey Jr.), smart script and some pretty stellar FX.
With Iron Man 2, returning director Jon Favreau is fixing to recapture that first film's charm and deliver a transcendent superhero sequel. At Favreau's side is writer Justin Theroux, taking a crack at the genre for the first time, and returning cast members Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and Samuel Jackson. Don Cheadle is stepping in as Rhodes this time (a role formerly played by Terrence Howard) and on the "heavy" side you've got Mickey Rourke as "Whiplash" and Sam Rockwell as industrialist Justin Hammer. For added sex appeal, they're throwing in Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow.
Is Favreau falling into the trap of adding too many elements to his once proven winning equation? That's just one question Superhero Hype! had in mind when we ventured down to Manhattan Beach where we found Favreau and company back on the soundstage and in Tony Stark's lab for a set visit. While there, we toured the remodeled lab, caught a few glimpses of some very interesting--and revealing--props and drooled over the new Iron Man suit. We also got a chance to speak with Favreau, Downey Jr. and Marvel's Kevin Feige (the producer) about Stark's latest adventure and the challenges he faces.
We'd love to tell you more, however, we have to remain tight-lipped for now. Simply know Favreau is piecing together what sounds like a layered, larger sequel that's steering Stark in the right emotional direction with a few surprises in store for the fans. Look for a full set report next month! In the meantime, "keep the skies clear," more Iron Man is on the way.
Mickey Rourke Talks Iron Man 2
Source: The Guardian
June 7, 2009
The Guardian spoke to Mickey Rourke about playing a villain in Iron Man 2. Here's an excerpt from the interview:
And Iron Man 2, in which he plays Tony Stark's tattooed Russian nemesis, Ivan, is possibly the biggest movie yet in Rourke's new career. For Rourke this means going to Russia, drinking vodka and visiting jails to study prison tattoos and find his character's tics. "I decided to do half my role in Russian," he beams, "and that's hard because the Russian language doesn't roll off the English-speaking tongue very easily. I spent three hours a day with a teacher, and after two weeks I know four sentences! Let me see, it's sort of like... 'Yezzamee menya... Yezzamee manya obott... Er, nemaboootty menya...'"
This goes on for quite some time. "It means," he says, finally, "If someone kills me, don't wake me up, because I'd rather be dead than live in your world."
Rourke speaking Russian? LOL lets hope this turns out ok..
Rourke's pretty method, so I expect that he'll be quite convincing as a Russian... I do love how he's totally immersed himself in it though. Rourke's just fantastic in every way.
