All Geeked Out For Iron Man 2

Okay, I have got my geek on for this movie. Iron Man two is coming out this summer and has a new trailer out. If you haven't seen it yet, here it is. It's got two of my favorite actors of all time in it; I'm talking about Gwyneth Paltrow as Virginia "Pepper" Potts: Stark's closest friend, budding love interest, and business partner and Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow. These two ladies have made lots of movies very appealing to my base testosterone filled nature.

Of course, Robert Downey Jr. returns to the role as Tony Stark / Iron Man and will probably do an even better job than the last time.  The villain of the piece will be played by the inimitable Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko / Whiplash. I'm sure Mickey will be applying his usual subtlety to the role.

Award-winning actor, Don Cheadle is replacing Terrence Howard from the first film as Lt. Colonel James "Rhodey" Rhodes / War Machine. Jon Favreau will once again play Tony Stark's able manservant, Happy Hogan, while directing the film. That man looks great after losing half his body weight to diet and exercise.


The film is scheduled to be released in the UK on April 30th and in North America on May 7, 2010. The soundtrack will feature music by AC/DC.
