First Images of Rhodey & Justin Hammer in Iron Man 2
17 July 2009 10:26 PM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news
Yesterday, Screen Rant reported on the very first images of Scarlett Johansson in costume as the Black Widow for the upcoming Marvel Studios production of the sequel to Iron Man.
This was our first look at one of the new characters and faces added to the Iron Man franchise and Marvel Movie Universe. Today, we can add two more with our first looks at the new James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes played by Don Cheadle as well as Sam Rockwell’s Justin Hammer.
The images come from /Film and I edited the actual stills for you. They don’t show too much but both seem to take place in a courtroom scene, likely over the issue of the government’s ownership of the Iron Man technology. Take a look and see what you think:
Tony Stark and Pepper Potts

'Iron Man 2' Pics: Rhodey Rhodes, Pepper Potts and Others
17 July 2009 7:48 PM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news
Entertainment Weekly's Comic-Con preview issue apparently did not only tease on how Scarlett Johansson portrays femme fatale Black Widow in "Iron Man 2", but also the look of several other main characters. Slash Film has got its hands on the mag's scanned photos that expose Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts, Don Cheadle as Rhodey Rhodes and Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer.
One of the images captures Paltrow's Potts talking to Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark in what appears to be a court room. Another one sees Cheadle, who replaced Terrence Howard as Colonel James "Rhodey" Rhodes, at some kind of court hearing with Rockwell's fast-talking weapons manufacturer character in the background. The last one exhibits director Jon Favreau and Downey Jr. watching playback from a boxing ring.
A sequel to 2008 blockbuster "Iron Man", "Iron Man 2" will have its script written by "Tropic Thunder" scribe Justin Theroux. It has

Iron Man 2 Will Feature a Cockatoo and Other Spoilers
17 July 2009 6:16 AM, PDT | From Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news
Entertainment Weekly's coverage of Iron Man 2 did more than just show Scarlett Johansson in her Black Widow costume. It also revealed a few spoilers about the upcoming sequel. Warning: If you'd like your Iron Man 2 viewing to remain unspoiled, time to stop reading.
Most superhero movie sequels are given the "double villain" treatment and Iron Man 2 is no different. However, this time villains Mickey Rourke as Whiplash and Sam Rockwell as weapons-manufacturing rival Justin Hammer won't be working alone. They'll be joined in their fight against Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) by ... a cockatoo? Rourke explains the need for his new right-hand, er, shoulder, man.
I told [director Jon] Favreau, "I don't want to just play him as a one-dimensional p----." He let me have a cockatoo, who I talk to and get drunk with while I'm making my suit. Johansson's Black Widow will be complicating matters, specifically for Stark's former assistant,

First Pics of Scarlett Johansson as ‘Black Widow’ in ‘Iron Man 2′
16 July 2009 9:38 AM, PDT | From The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news
Previously, we had the first picture of Mickey Rourke as “Whiplash” in Iron Man 2. And now, we’ve got a brand new picture of Scarlett Johansson suited up as Natasha Romanova’s alter ego Black Widow from the movie, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly. Not much really needs to be said about these pictures except the following: Scarlett Johansson, curly red hair, tight black catsuit, hot. I’ll let that sink in for a moment.
Along with the new pics, EW’s PopWatch has also posted excerpts from the interview that contained the pictures. The interview sheds some light on a few interesting elements of the project including Mickey Rourke’s character and the switch from Terrence Howard to Don Cheadle in the role of James “Rhodey” Rhodes. “Terrence and I couldn’t be more different,” said Cheadle. “We address it head-on in the movie in one exchange. We’re not trying to fool people.

You don't need to squint your eyes any longer to check out those blurry images of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow in "Iron Man 2," folks. The official images have hit the 'Net, and even though they're a bit on the small side, they give you a much better look at the previously unseen addition to Jon Favreau's "Iron Man" sequel cast.
So, what do the new images tell us? Well, it looks like Johansson's character will indeed sport a suit very similar to that of her comics counterpart. From the plunging neckline to the utility bracelets, the on-screen Black Widow looks as if she's taking more than a few cues from her comic book inspiration.

15 July 2009 6:41 PM, PDT | From MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news
Entertainment Weekly has just revealed 2 images of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow in Iron Man 2. Get your first look at the Comic-Con preview issue below.
Entertainment Weekly's second annual Comic-Con preview package features Iron Man 2 on the cover, and inside it's jam-packed with exclusive first looks at highly anticipated TV shows and movies. After Iron Man blasted Robert Downey Jr. back to stardom, the superhero returns to the big screen to battle new villain Mickey Rourke, size up Scarlett Johansson, and prove the first time wasn't a fluke. The success of Iron Man (which opened at $99 million and went on to take in $318 million) caught many people by surprise, and now four months later, Downey is no longer the underdog. "There are a lot more invisible eyes on us now," he says.
When Marvel Studios first announced the sequel, no one was sure what the movie would be about.

Ross Phones Home After Portraying Thug
3 July 2009 6:26 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Diana Ross' actor son Evan phoned home in tears from the set of new movie Life Is Hot In Cracktown - because playing a violent hoodlum left him exhausted and upset.
Ross' character Romeo is a thuggish gangster in the gritty new film, and insists he needed support to get through the project.
He explains, "First I called Terrence Howard, who I worked with in Pride, and asked him what he thought, and he told me to follow my instincts with the role, but I didn't grow up with gangster qualities.
"There is a scene at the end of the movie where I'm yelling and we did the scene so many times. I had to go to the trailer for a second because I couldn't stop crying and I didn't feel like I could do it again.
"I left that day and I called my mom because I live alone now and I don't see her all the time, so I can't just go home. I called her and I told her I was riled up and I needed to calm myself for a second."
And the sage-like soul star gave him advice that he'll always hold dear: "She was like, 'Go outside and find light. Go to where the sun is and just breathe.' She gets worried about me when I get into that dark place."

Said to be taken from the set of the "Iron Man" sequel, the picture gives out first look at how Stark Industries-sponsored vintage race car driven by Tony Stark during a racing scene will look like.
"This is the Stark Industries-sponsored vintage race car that the movie's main protagonist - genius inventor and swashbuckling lady's man Tony Stark - will be driving in a scene that depicts him racing in the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, a vintage race held in Monte Carlo," read the article that accompanies the photo. The magazine furthermore explained, "The scene is not being filmed on the actual streets of the tiny, glamorous seaside principality near the south of France, but on an elaborate set that replicates the Monaco circuit."

Stan Lee's Cameo in 'Iron Man 2' Unveiled
29 June 2009 2:48 AM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news
The lingering question of what part Iron Man creator Stan Lee will have in "Iron Man 2" has been answered. Nuke the Fridge broke the news that the former president and chairman of Marvel Comics will be making a cameo appearance as an alternate world version of Emmy Award-winning television host Larry King.
As the Iron Man world's Larry King, the 86-year-old is set to interview Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark on his show "Larry King Live". Lee, who is also the co-creator of Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men and the Hulk, will be having a Q&A session with the genius engineer, discussing about Stark's new, modified "black" Iron Man suit. There are yet words from either Lee or Marvel Studios regarding the report.
Aside from Stan Lee, "Iron Man 2" will see the return of Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts and the replacement of Terrence Howard with Don Cheadle for Col.

Stan Lee's 'Iron Man 2' Cameo Revealed
28 June 2009 10:42 PM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news
There have been a few interesting casting choices for Iron Man 2. Forget about the three-headed hydra of villainy comprised of Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke, and Scarlett Johansson, and for the moment, don't even consider the decision to dump Terrence Howard as Rhodey and replace him with Don Cheadle.
While those are all worthy of the many headlines they've received, consider, for a moment, the smaller roles: Garry Shandling as a senator, the hot-as-blazes geek girl Olivia Munn as a player to be named later, and now Stan Lee.
Yes, Stan the Man is a common sight in these Marvel movies; he appeared as Hugh Hefner in the first movie. But now he's throwing on the suspenders and portraying Larry King.
