[The Ape]

Better left out...doesn't flow with the rest of the film.....definitely like the ladies though.

"I'm thinking of a number between one and five...."

[Dragon]

"Uh excuse me can you come here and help us for a little bit also."

[Blackface_RDJ]

Better left out...doesn't flow with the rest of the film.....definitely like the ladies though.

"I'm thinking of a number between one and five...."

scene was alright, but totally agree better left out of the film

[Dazmguk]

I assume it was how he was able to be in the middle east so quickly? But your right, it doesn't gel.

Favreau Gets to Work on Iron Man 2

The Los Angeles Times (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomplex/2008/08/favreau-is-at-w.html) talked to Iron Man 2 (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=44655) director Jon Favreau, who says they have started working on the sequel:

I just talked to Jon Favreau a bit ago, and he said that while there hasn't been an formal announcement on the sequel to "Iron Man," he's begun developing it. "We're working on it now," he said, "which hasn't been officially announced. It will be released in 2010."

Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures are targeting an April 30, 2010 release date in order to be the first film to kick-off that summer, much like Iron Man did on May 2nd of this year.

Justin Theroux (Tropic Thunder) is writing the script and in addition to Robert Downey Jr., the first film's co-stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Terrence Howard are expected to return as well.

yeah each time i watch the movie, im like wow, that suit must be super fast to get there so quick....

but hey, suspend disbelief, its a movie

and id go gay for RDJ

[svtdriver]

Might have to buy the DVD after watching that. Put it on the HDTV and see what happens.

[Night Hawk]

yeah each time i watch the movie, im like wow, that suit must be super fast to get there so quick....

but hey, suspend disbelief, its a movie

Well he gets to middle east in like 2 minutes... but can't dodge fighter jets that would take like 5 hours to get there...

sounds kind of ridiculous.

You know it's hard out there for a pimp...


Don Cheadle joins 'Iron Man 2'

He'll replace Terrence Howard in Marvel Studios' sequel

Don Cheadle is stepping in to replace Terrence Howard in "Iron Man 2," Marvel Studios' sequel to its summer blockbuster.

In the movie, Howard played Jim Rhodes, Tony Stark/Iron Man's best friend and future armor-clad hero War Machine. One scene featured Howard looking at a silver suit of armor and saying "Next time," a line that caused great delight for fans.

But there will be no next time for Howard.

Marvel had no comment, but sources close to the deal said negotiations with Howard fell through over financial differences, among other reasons. Marvel, which had wanted to work with Cheadle, then decided to take the role in another direction and approached the actor, who is shooting Antoine Fuqua's "Brooklyn's Finest" with Richard Gere and Ethan Hawke.

Rhodes is expected to play a larger part in the sequel, which is rumored to go beyond high-tech villains. Justin Theroux is writing the screenplay.

Jon Favreau is returning as director, and Robert Downey Jr. is expected back as billionaire industrialist Stark/Iron Man. Gwyneth Paltrow also is expected to be back as Stark's assistant, Pepper Potts.

Cheadle, repped by UTA, most recently starred in "Traitor," a thriller on which he was also a producer. He will next be seen in DreamWorks' "Hotel for Dogs."

[NOTKyle]

Can they at least give the character a different name?

This is lame.

[Oggie]

Cheadle's awesome.
Can only be an improvement.

[Draven X 23]

Kinda surprising that they did not sign all these guys to multi-picture deals to begin with.

[Oggie]

More like Terrence Coward...

I got nothing.

[bixby]

Ah, that sucks! Cheadle's awesome, of course, but that's pretty damn sloppy of Marvel to not get everybody locked in and all the negotiations worked out months ago.

Now we'll never see Terence as War Machine :(.

[mbslugger89]

i guess the question is as a person who hasnt seen this movie is it worth buying on bluray?

[Night Hawk]

i guess the question is as a person who hasnt seen this movie is it worth buying on bluray?


The question is, why does a person come into GMF and postwhore into every movie he has NOT seen?

[ShitBreak]

Yeah, I just read the Cheadle thing. Cheadle is awesome, and I think he will be really good...I just hate when continuity shit like this has to happen.

[eleveneighteen]

Cheadle and RDJ will be awesome together.

[Philip Lombard]

Cause lack of continuity with Rachel Dawes ruined The Dark Knight.

[ShitBreak]

Cause lack of continuity with Rachel Dawes ruined The Dark Knight.

There is a big difference in replacing a character that is not in the comics and adds nothing to the story....and the fucking dude that plays War Machine.

[Face]

I just wish they'd replace Gwyneth Paltrow... she looks like she's trying really, really hard to suppress a laugh in half her scenes, and the scene when she asks agent what'shisname what the 'device' he puts on the door does is almost painful to watch

[bixby]

Her acting in the fight scene at the end was pretty bad, but she has really good chemistry with Downey, and I thought she was pretty likable in the role.

[Celtickliq]

I bet when the story of why they replaced it comes out, it will be that Howard wanted too much. I have heard stories from people how he "changed" and went all Hollywood once his Oscar thing happened.

[Jericho]

I've never really liked Gwyneth

Hey, if you're gonna sell out and lose your cred by doing a big-budget superhero movie that could possibly flop, might as well get your beak nice and wet.

[bixby]

I'm surprised Don Cheadle comes cheaper than Terrence Howard. Cheadle's a much more well known actor.

Howard must've been asking for some ridiculous ammount.

[ShitBreak]

I thought Paltrow was fine. She really did have good chemistry with Downey, which was the most important part of her character. It's not like she Katie Holmes'd the role.

[Night Hawk]

I'm surprised Don Cheadle comes cheaper than Terrence Howard. Cheadle's a much more well known actor.

Howard must've been asking for some ridiculous ammount.


Who says its cheaper? Maybe Marvel decided if they are going to pay an arm and a leg, they might as well get an ACTOR!

[bixby]

Howard's a great actor, and his few scenes in Iron Man were well acted. I'd imagine if they could've come up with a fair wage Marvel would've signed him on the spot, but the dude, evidently, just got greedy. Bad career move.

Or maybe that's wrong and it was Marvel trying to screw him over. They've already had some public disagreements with Favreau and Norton.

[ShitBreak]

We also don't know how much he was getting paid for the first one. He may have been making a really small amount, with no back end (like how most of the big stars get now...salary plus a percentage of the movie's profits)

I still hate it, as I said before, due to continuity, but I can deal with it.

[TylerDurden]

i just rented and watched this for the first time last night, and i must admit: it lived up to the hype. i thoroughly enjoyed this movie. i thought the acting was great, the action was great, the computer effects were great, the storyline was great. it seemed just a smidge on the short side, but i guess the hallmark of a great story is you want to continue it even after it's over.

anyone bought the blu-ray for this? if so how do the graphics look in comparison? any word on the storyline for the sequel?

[ShitBreak]

the graphics? What, is it on the Comodore 64?

All Blu-Rays look stunning. Period. I don't buy shit on regular DVDs anymore really, unless that is the only thing it comes out on.

For Storyline, there isn't anything since it hasn't been written. But the hints are towards the Mandarian, War Machine being showcased, and Demon in a Bottle rearing its head.

I just saw it for the first time the other day and I was impressed that is lived up to its hype also. After seeing every other commercial on TV being about "Iron Man", I didn't even want to see it. By I saw it and it was cool, especially how they didn't just skim over the psychological stage of how the character changed. That kind of reminded me of "Batman Begins". I don't remember, but in the end, did Stark have the power thing removed from his chest? I had to return the DVD before they closed and didn't get a chance to watch it again.

[willydong]

no, tony upgraded his "battery" and replaced the make- shift one he built while in captivity. also, gwyneth paltrow is a goddess, tho i think they rushed the hook- up with her and tony

[bixby]

And now, for an online movie rumor that isn't total bullshit, since Iron Man 2 has a script and everything...

Got a new source and even though it is a tad bit late at night to double check, he passed my prelimanary source check and besides I figured this scoop is too damn hot to wait till morning. Anyway, we all need a jodido break from all these corny whack ass Batman 3 casting rumors.

Ya'll want some real Superhero casting news of the Marvel variety?

How about this!

From what I'm told, Tim Robbins is going to be playing Howard Stark in an important flashback sequence that is going to set up the Avengers and Captain America films. Jon [Favreau] wanted to get a good actor because he didn't think the guy who played Howard in the last film could carry such an important scene.

Makes sense to me because Howard Stark would be around the time of the Captain America Super Soldier experiment.

http://www.latinoreview.com/images/user/howardstark-timrobbins.jpg


That is not all, check this out...

I'm also told that HAWKEYE and BLACK WIDOW are definitely in Iron Man 2 (http://www.latinoreview.com/films/iron-man-2-1332) and they wont be cameos either.

http://www.latinoreview.com/images/user/HawkeyeBlackWidow.jpg


You guys want to take this as a rumor due to the timing then it's all good with me till further notice.

[the creeps]

tim robbins is so underated. he killed it in arlington road.

With Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell negotiating to play key villains in "Iron Man 2," Marvel Entertainment and director Jon Favreau are now looking for the right thesp to play femme fatale Black Widow, another nemesis for Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark.

Emily Blunt has emerged as the frontrunner to play Natasha Romanoff in the "Iron Man" sequel. She's a Soviet superspy who doubles as Black Widow, a beauty in a skintight black costume enhanced by high-tech weaponry.

http://www.variety.com/VR1117998515.html

There were cheers in theaters at the end of "Iron Man," when Jackson appeared as Fury, but when I asked the actor about it today he shook his head. "I saw ['Iron Man' and 'Iron Man 2' director] Jon Favreau at the Scream Awards and we had a conversation. He said, 'I hope things are working out for you because we're writing stuff for you.' Then all of a sudden last week I talked to my agents and manager and things aren't really working that well."

"There was a huge kind of negotiation that broke down. I don't know. Maybe I won't be Nick Fury. Maybe somebody else will be Nick Fury or maybe Nick Fury won't be in it. There seems to be an economic crisis in the Marvel Comics world so [they're saying to me], 'We're not making that deal.'"

I called Marvel Comics and they gave me a statement that suggested that they still want to see Jackson wearing the eyepatch. "Marvel does not comment on active negotiations," was the boilerplate repsonse, but there was that emphasis on the word "active" in the voice of the spokesman who phoned me back.
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomplex/2009/01/nick-fury-no-mo.html

Rockwell could be good as...Hawkeye maybe? And as much as I like the whole continuity of Jackson as Fury, frankly, if they brought back Rambo/James Bond Marvel Fury, it'd probably be a better performance than whatever Jackson phones in.

[nuclearjew]

Hawkeye is a villain?

[Archetype]

I think he was for a while in the comics, maybe they're going that route (doubtful).

[patcooper]

I think he was for a while in the comics, maybe they're going that route (doubtful).

I don't remember hawkeye ever being a villain. He idolized iron man that's how he became an avenger.

[Skybase]

I'm probably WAY off base here as my knowledge of Hawkeye is very minimal. But didnt' he just go rogue for awhile or something?

[Fuh Q]

I think Sam Jackson is a good choice to play Nick Fury, and not because they based the ultimate version on him either. I hope he signs on.

[CAB]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawkeye_(comics)


Hawkeye was introduced as a reluctant villain in Tales of Suspense #57 (Sep. 1964), and after two more brief appearances in Tales of Suspense #60 and 64 (Dec. 1964 and Apr. 1965), joined the Avengers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers_(comics)) #16 (May 1965).

[CrzyMarcX]

I guess that settles that argument

[patcooper]

Hawkeye was working in a circus and the people who ran it was bad dudes. They wanted hawkeye to be with them. He fled that circus and became an avenger.

[El Torpedo]

Well shit I hope they get classic Fury in then, he's way better than the Sam Jackson Ultimate fury.

Bring back the Hoff!

[patcooper]

Well shit I hope they get classic Fury in then, he's way better than the Sam Jackson Ultimate fury.

Bring back the Hoff!

Boy do i hope your joking. Sam Jackson would be the perfect fury

[El Torpedo]

If you like the Ultimate universe, considering they did model the Ultimate Nick Fury specifically off of Sam Jackson. I just think the regular Marvel U's Nick Fury is way sweeter.

[Will-Kill]

Entertainment Weekly is reporting the rumor that Scarlett Johansson is in discussions with Marvel Studios to replace Emily Blunt for the role of Russian superspy Natasha Romanoff, who doubles as Black Widow, in Iron Man 2.

Blunt's commitment to 20th Century Fox and the studio's upcoming Gulliver's Travels may prohibit her from co-starring in the superhero sequel.

Marvel will not confirm, but sources tell EW that Johansson has indeed met with the filmmakers and is interested in taking the role. Blunt's reps are still trying to make both projects work, but "Gulliver's" is further along, with a start date of April 15. Iron Man 2 still doesn't have a shooting script and a start date has not yet been determined.

http://www.superherohype.com/news/ironmannews.php?id=8088

She might pull it off....she does have the body for it.

[comicfan]

I could definitely deal with Scarlett as the Black Widow! YUM!

[the creeps]

marvel has got their shot together. they know now what the fans wants.

[Mr. Bateman]

After a lot of back and forth, Deadline Hollywood Daily has confirmed today that Mickey Rourke has officially signed on to play a villain in Iron Man 2:

I just heard that ICM has scored its second casting deal for Marvel's Iron Man 2. After at first being low-balled by the studio to the tune of $250K, Rourke has signed on for the role of the Russian villain in the sequel after his agent David Unger got the quote up to a "significant" level despite this punishing economic climate where the studios are taking advantage of talent. (No wonder Mickey kept thanking Unger so profusely in acceptance speeches for the BAFTA, Golden Globes, Spirit, and other awards.) But don't expect Marvel to confirm any of this: they won't until all the i's are dotted and t's crossed on the contracts. I can also tell you that Sony was considering hiring Mickey to play the villain in Spider-Man 4.

Director Jon Favreau will start shooting Iron Man 2 very soon for a May 7, 2010 release date.

The Wrestler himself? Ballin'. Marvel's really managing to bring themselves back into my good books despite the attrocity that was spiderman 3, ugh, that was worse than nikebauer.

[johnnychacski]

Wow, they are pulling all the stops out for the second one.

[Mr. Bateman]

E! Online has confirmed with Scarlett Johansson's representative that the actress has indeed signed to play the role of Russian superspy Natasha Romanoff, who doubles as Black Widow.

"Scarlett is thrilled to be a part of Iron Man," her rep, Marcel Pariseau, tells me.

The Jon Favreau-directed sequel is scheduled for a May 7, 2010 release.


YES!!!!

[Draven X 23]

I keep hearing that they 'Low Balled' her with the deal. I think its kind of odd for people to say that. Its not like her name means a movie will make money. She is not exactly a box office draw. Look at the money made for films like 'The Island' and 'The Spirit'.

I can't name one movie I saw because she was in it. But I can name 2 things that make me enjoy seeing her.


On a side note. Now she and her husband are members of the Marvel Universe.

[TMJ]

Marvel announced a few new release dates:

Below is Marvel Studios' 2010-2012 updated release schedule for its slate of self-produced and financed feature films:

Marvel Studios Feature Film Pipeline

Iron Man 2 - May 7, 2010
Spider-Man 4 - May 6, 2011
Thor - June 17, 2011
The First Avenger: Captain America - July 22, 2011
The Avengers - May 4, 2012

AVENGERS and THOR get bumped, slightly. And Raimi gets another opp to fuck up old Web head.

[ShitBreak]

Superhero Hype! is reporting basically the reason why people have been saying that Mickey Rourke is either playing Crimson Dynamo OR Whiplash.

Apparently, they are kinda combining the characters.

[Genius]

This movie is going to be fucking awesome. I love me some Downey Jr., but Mickey Rourke is the shit. I might have to root for him to win in the big fight. I figured they would definitely bring in the Mandarin for this movie, as he has always been Iron Man's main villain. But Rourke isn't nearly Chinese enough. Although he does have quite a bit or range. And Scarlett with jet-black hair will be money.

[flyingmonkeys]

Spider-Man 4 - May 6, 2011
Thor - June 17, 2011
The First Avenger: Captain America - July 22, 2011

This is going to be a three-month geek fest. Sign me up.

[the creeps]

This is going to be a three-month geek fest. Sign me up.
i can only hope for some good cross over shit.

I doubt I would have watched The Island if she wasn't in it. I didn't pay to see it, but still

[johnnychacski]

June and July just mad me explode in my pants.

Dammit! They keep pushing movies back further and further. Next thing you know, the Avengers movie will be 2015. I hate waiting!

[Genius]

Spider-Man 4 should just be kiboshed, unless they can find a writer who actually realizes that the character is supposed to fun, rather than constantly focused on his limitations and his responsibilities.

Thor is VERY hit or miss. That's a character that is very difficult to remove the campiness from.

The Captain America movie should kick all kinds of ass. Especially if they include the Brubaker-updated WWII version of Bucky as a wet-ops secret agent and not a wisecracking teenage sidekick.

[ShitBreak]

On your mark...


Get set...


START FWAPPING!!!

NOt bad at all. I think the Iron Man 2 has the potnential to be like a Spider-Man 2 or a Dark Kinght where the sequal completely tops the first one.

Totally agree with you! Even with how great the first one was, I figure Iron Man 2 will blow the first one out of the water

[ed92]

scarlett johannson will likely butcher this movie. she's unbearable, even though she's kind of hot. she's a high-school drama-level actress at best. you can see her brain working and thinking about how she's acting during all of her scenes.

that said, I'll still watch it, since the original almost shattered my windows through my sound system. to-date, the best sound on any movie i've seen at home.

[kulashaker]

she will probably ruin the movie...but she can't be as bad as Gwenyth...she just sucks

[arod2105]

Really can't say how she will be just yet. I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. Besides, can't be worse than Katie Holmes in Batman Begins.

[kulashaker]

true...but Maggie G. sucked as well. I think the part was written pretty badly.
