First Look at Downey Jr. as Iron Man in Sequel
Filed under: Action, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Newsstand, Movie Marketing, Remakes and Sequels, Images
See Tony Stark. See Stark's suit. See Stark lounge around, looking cool, with nary a care in the world. The first shot of Robert Downey Jr. decked out in (half) the Iron Man 2 suit comes not by way of Jon Favreau's Twitter, by way of People Magazine.
Downey Jr. is really looking more and more like the Stark of the comics -- I can't put my finger on what it is except that he looks older. It hasn't been that long since he shot Iron Man, but here it looks like he's got some new lines to the face. Fighting War Mongerer will do that to even the most eternally young of faces, I guess.
It's so geeky to say so, my childish heart of hearts just leaps at a photo like this. Iron Man was definitely an amazing way to kick off last summer, and it helps erase the pain of this year's superhero film to know that Iron Man 2 is in the wings.
Now come on, Favreau! Give us a photo of Scarlett Johannson or Mickey Rourke in costume! We have a long way to go, and we need something to make the long, long months even more unbearable.

Has Rourke even begun shooting yet? I read somewhere that Favreau wanted him to lose some of the bulk he still had from The Wrestler. So it didn't sound like he was on set yet.

I think Robert looks fantastic! I would have loved to have seen him in the entire suit though. I don't think that any of us will see Mickey or Scarlett in a fight with Ironman until comic con in July. I think that is the special surprise that Jon Faveru has cooked up for Comic con 2009. Then we might see photos on the internet from Marvel. That just keeps going through my mind. I do hope that the release photos of Robert Downey Jr. in the whole Ironman suit. I really want to see what he looks like in the whole thing. I am sure it will be great. I can't wait to see the movie!!!!!

Loved the first one. Not so sure about the sequel since they replaced the screenwriter.
