The last we heard from Jon Favreau on twitter that he is halfway through production on 'Iron Man 2'. We have seen a few little pics here and there that look cool. But not much has leaked out of the production that they haven't wanted leaked which is pretty cool. I like being in the dark sometimes. I am really hoping that he has some stuff to show us up at comic con this year! He will have enough time to put something together. Favreau recently did an interview with Empire and fills us in on a few more things.

"Tony's expected to be a role model and I don't think he's ready to be one. He's under a great deal of pressure and when you're under pressure, I think you find outlets for that. That's one of the tensions of the film: it's one thing to say you're Iron Man, and another thing to actually become Iron Man."


He goes on to give a pretty big hint that Rhodes who is played by Don Cheadle this time around, will suit up as War Machine.

"Rhodesy is definitely stepping up in this film. Let me put it this way: Tony's not the only person with technology in the film."


We all knew that was coming! It had to happen! I would have been shocked if it didn't. As you know Mickey Rourke will be playing the villain Whiplash in the movie. Rourke huimself gives us a little insight on to how the shoot is going and even gives a little description of the suit that he wears in the movie.

"I'm having the time of my life! It's been really brutal, because my Iron Man suit weighs 23lb. It's sort of a half-suit, with half my skin showing, with lots of Russian tattoos, because [Whiplash is just] out of a Russian-zone prison."


Awesome! That seems to go right along with the concept art that we have seen. I can't wait to see some footage from this movie!
