May 5, 2008 - Iron Man 2
Scooped on Tuesday, August 26, 2008
Four days after Iron Man blasted into theaters and made a whopping $104 million dollars in its opening weekend, Marvel Studios announced today (and to no one's real surprise) that it is going to make a sequel right away. The company has staked out an April 30, 2010 release date for Iron Man 2.
While no deal presently exists for Iron Man director Jon Favreau to call the shots for the sequel many assume that Marvel would make him their go-to guy for round two. Sequel options for two more films exist for Robert Downey Jr., Terrence Howard and Gwyneth Paltrow so it's expected that they will reprise their roles as Tony Stark, James Rhodes and Pepper Potts, with Howard's character expected to don the silver and black armor of War Machine in the second movie. While we now know when we can expect to see old shellhead back on the big screen there's presently no storyline being developed for IM2...in fact, there's not even a writer hired yet.
