Iron Man 2 release date 7th May 2010


Recommended Posts

Johansson is hot, but weak for the role. I'd be pretty ****ed if they go with her. Btw, spirit sucked ass.

I'd like to see Rourke in it, but I'm sure they'll find a suitable replacement. On another note though, The Expendables is starting to sound good.

"Iron Man 2" is days away from kicking off its principal photography. Giving the latest update to the "Iron Man" sequel, Marvel Studios announced on Wednesday, February 24, that the second movie of the superhero in armored iron suit will begin filming in early April.

While speculations around the casting of this movie have been running wild, the studio's press release only named Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle as the film's cast ensemble. No words have been shared regarding the circulating casting rumors around Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer, Mickey Rourke as either Crimson Dynamo or Whiplash, and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, among others.

"Iron Man 2" will be directed by Jon Favreau. Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow will reprise their roles as Tony Stark/Iron Man and Pepper Potts respectively, while Don Cheadle is filling the shoes of Colonel James 'Rhodey' Rhodes in place of Terrence Howard. Set for U.S. release on May 7, 2010, this Marvel's superhero movie reportedly will see Stark puking in a toilet while donning his Iron Man armor.

Its got RDJ so it will be great, but I do wish Howard was playing the role. Cheadle is good and all but hes too skinny and weak for the superhero status.

I wouldn't call him skinny. He's slim but my problem is that he's short.

Emily Blunt Reveals Disappointment

Emily Blunt has revealed her disappointment of losing the role of The Black Widow in Iron Man 2. She was originally first choice for the role, however her contract with 20th Century Fox from when she did The Devil Wears Prada meant that she had one more film to do with them, and they decided to use the option for Gulliver?s Travels alongside Jack Black. The filming schedules clashed, so she had to pull out of Iron Man 2.

From The Orlando Sentinel:

?I?m okay,? Blunt says with a sigh. ?Because I just have to do this Fox movie, and it?s fine and I?m gonna have fun. The whole beginning of the year has been rather dramatic, so I?d just rather go in with fresh eyes and know that I?ve made the right decision. You just don?t know until it?s all finished and done with, do you??

And telling her ?Well, the sequel?s almost never as good as the original? doesn?t help. ?I?m glad you said that, not me. It?s a little disappointing is all I can say.?e disappointing is all I can say.?

:) I'm pretty late on this, but good news either way.

Samuel L. Jackson is Marvel's man.

The actor, who just weeks ago was seemingly on the outs with the studio over reprising his role as Nick Fury, agent of spy outfit S.H.I.E.L.D., has signed an unprecedented nine-picture deal to play the character in a series of Marvel movies.

The movies include "Iron Man 2," "Thor," "Captain America," "The Avengers" and its sequels.

Also on the table is the possibility of toplining a "S.H.I.E.L.D." movie, which is in development.

Also read Mickey Rourke might be back in the picture, no source for that though, let's hope it pans out.

at the rate things are going and the problems they are having i doubt we will ever see the avengers movie hit the light of day. i mean they don't even have thor or captain america cast yet, let alone we still have no word on if ed norton will return as the hulk. what a marvel disaster! :whistle:

Mickey Rourke Officially in Iron Man 2

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

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.
