It admittedly does look like a pretty cool teaser poster (check out the grey War Machine armor that Don Cheadle will wear) and nerds are probably already frothing at the mouth at it, but it does sort of pain us to have written two “Iron Man 2” stories in less than twelve hours.
We don’t have much else to say other than regurgitating the basic info: the film is directed by Jon Favreau (who did a great job creating an escapist entertainment vehicle) and stars the same principal cast again (minus Terrence Howard) including Robert Downey Jr., and Gwyneth Paltrow, with the additions of Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke, Scarlett Johansson, Don Cheadle and Samuel L. Jackson (who was in the original in a teaser cameo, but didn’t actually appear in the feature itself, however he does have an active role in this one).
Paul Bettany appears as the voice of the computer Jarvis as do Leslie Bibb and Clark Gregg, and according to IMDB Kate Mara and John Slattery (“Mad Men”) also have roles (the latter is supposedly playing Howard Stark).
“Iron Man 2” hits theaters on May 7, 2010.
