Iron Man 2

Iron Man 2 is an upcoming 2010 superhero movie film, based on the Marvel Comics character. It is the sequel to 2008's Iron Man. This film is directed by Jon Favreau, with Robert Downey, Jr. reprising the title role. The film will be released on May 7, 2010. In an interview, Jon Favreau revealed that the sequel is set 6 months after the events of Iron Man, and he also stated that Stark's revealing of his identity is taking its toll on him. Favreau revealed their version of Iron Man's comic book nemesis the Mandarin "allows us to incorporate the whole pantheon of villains", while S.H.I.E.L.D. will continue to have a major role. During development, Favreau said the film would explore Stark's alcoholism, but it would not be "the Leaving Las Vegas version". Downey said, while promoting the first film, that Stark would probably develop a drinking problem as he is unable to cope with his age and Pepper getting a boyfriend. Before filming began, Downey revealed that while the film was not an adaptation of Demon in a Bottle, it was more about the "interim space" between the origin and the Demon story arc. There will be three major action sequences in the film.
