Trailer

Plot

The world is aware that billionaire inventor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) is the armored superhero Iron Man. Under pressure from the government, the press, and the public to share his technology with the military, Tony is unwilling to divulge the secrets behind the Iron Man (17 walls) armor because he fears the information will slip into the wrong hands. With James "Rhodey” Rhodes (Don Cheadle) and Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow (6 walls)) at his side, Tony forges new alliances and confronts powerful new forces.

Cast

• Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man (17 walls): The billionaire who, after being held captive, escaped with a suit of armor he created and now uses an upgraded version to make the world a better place.
• Don Cheadle as Lt. Colonel James "Rhodey" Rhodes / War Machine: Cheadle replaces Terrence Howard from the first film. Howard said, "There was no explanation, apparently the contracts that we write and sign aren't worth the paper that they're printed on sometimes. Promises aren't kept, and good faith negotiations aren't always held up." Entertainment Weekly stated Favreau did not enjoy working with Howard, often reshooting and cutting his scenes; Howard's publicist said he had a good experience playing the part, while Marvel (19 walls) chose not to comment. As Favreau and Theroux chose to minimize the role, Marvel (19 walls) came to Howard to discuss lowering his salary – Howard was the first actor hired in Iron Man (17 walls) and earned the largest salary of the cast. The publication stated they were unsure whether Howard's representatives left the project first or if Marvel (19 walls) chose to stop negotiating. Theroux denied the part of the report stating "the role of War Machine was scaled back and then beefed up". Cheadle only had a few hours to accept the role and did not even know what storyline Rhodes would undergo. He commented he is a comic book fan, but had not previously participated in comics-themed movies due to the lack of black superheroes.
• Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko / Whiplash: This version of the character includes elements of both Blacklash and Crimson Dynamo from the comics. In the film, he will be the son of Russian scientist Anton Vanko, who, in the comics, is the original Crimson Dynamo and creator of said armor. Downey offered Rourke the part during a roundtable discussion with David Ansen at the 2009 (3 years ago) Golden Globes, and Rourke met with Favreau and Theroux to discuss his character's role. Rourke almost dropped out of the role due to Marvel's initial salary offer of $250,000, so the studio chose to increase the deal. Rourke researched for the part by visiting Butyrka prison. He suggested half of the character's dialogue be in Russian.
• Gwyneth Paltrow (6 walls) as Virginia "Pepper" Potts: Stark's closest friend, budding love interest, and business partner after Pepper replaced Obadiah Stane as CEO of Stark Industries.
• Scarlett Johansson (60 walls) as Natalia Romanova / Black Widow: An undercover spy for S.H.I.E.L.D. posing as Stark's assistant. Johansson was cast after a scheduling conflict forced Emily Blunt to drop out of the part.
• Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer: He will serve as the primary antagonist of the film. Rockwell was considered for the role of Tony Stark in the first film, and he accepted the role of Hammer without reading the script. He had never heard of the character before he was contacted about the part, and was unaware Hammer is an old man in the comics, whereas in the movie he will be significantly closer to Stark's age. Hammer will pose as the main antagonist along with Whiplash. Rockwell says his character is "plucky comic relief, but he’s got a little bit of an edge".
• Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury: Jackson initially had financial problems with Marvel (19 walls) and was unsure about reprising the part of Fury, until they reached a deal that would entail his appearance in up to nine movies as the character.

Development

Jon Favreau said it was his intent to create a movie trilogy for Iron Man (17 walls), with Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges) becoming Iron Monger during the sequels. However, Stane became the main villain in Iron Man (17 walls) after a meeting between Favreau and various comic book writers, including Mark Millar. Millar argued the Mandarin, whom Favreau originally intended to be the main villain, was too fantastical. Favreau concurred, deciding "I look at Mandarin more like how in Star Wars you had the Emperor, but Darth Vader is the guy you want to see fight. Then you work your way to the time when lightning bolts are shooting out of the fingers and all that stuff could happen. But you can't have what happened in Return of the Jedi happen in A New Hope. You just can't do it."

In an interview with USA Today, director Jon Favreau revealed that the sequel is set six months after the events of Iron Man. Favreau also discussed how their version of Iron Man's comic book nemesis the Mandarin "allows us to incorporate the whole pantheon of villains". He also mentioned that S.H.I.E.L.D. will continue to have a major role.

During development, Favreau said the movie would explore Stark's alcoholism, but it would not be "the Demon in a Bottle version". Downey said, while promoting the first film, that Stark would probably develop a drinking problem as he is unable to cope with his age, the effects of revealing he is Iron Man (17 walls), as well as Pepper getting a boyfriend. Before filming began, Downey revealed that while the movie was not an adaptation of the Demon in a Bottle storyline from the comic book series, it was more about the "interim space" between the origin and the Demon story arc.
