The cast is set and the story is prepped for Marvels next mega flick 'Iron Man 2' which will start shooting on Monday. Before you know it we will all be sitting in the movie theater watching the film! I know It seems so far away, but it will be here in no time. In the mean time Robert Downey Jr. has provided a little bit of information on what we can expect from Jon Favreau's 'Iron Man 2'.

"The film is almost entirely about character, and yet we still have twice as much action as we did last time, so it's going to be nuts, Essentially 'Iron Man 2' is about looking behind the armor, or the armature, of a superhero. It's one thing to say you're Iron Man, it's another thing to be fully ready to do that."


It is no secret that this is the direction they would go. Favraeu knows that character development and story is the key to a great movie. Focusing on Tony Stark's character and how he handles the resposiblitly of being Iron Man has always been at the core of this story.He goes on to talk about how he is getting back in shape for the role and then offers this little tidbit of information regarding Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow.

"We've been rehearsing and she's in insane shape. She's getting lean and mean."


Notice that he doesn't say anything about her acting ability. There is no doubt that she will look good though.  It's been pretty cool following Jon Favreau on Twitter, he has been in a small way taking us on a photographic journey of the making of Iron Man 2. I can't help but be excited about this movie.
