* Sam Rockwell plays a fast-talking weapons manufacturer named Justin Hammer, ?who fancies himself the next Tony Stark?

* Mickey Rourke plays Russian criminal Vanko, who creates his own battle-suit while incarcerated in a Soviet prison.

* Whiplash?s suit ?shoots devastating, whip-like beams.?

* Hammer and Whiplash join forces to take on Stark/Iron Man,

* Rourke insisted that his character have a cockatoo, which he talks to and gets drunk with while he?s making the suit.

* Scarlett Johansson plays Russian superspy (possibly undercover?) Natasha Romanoff (aka the Black Widow), who is hirede as Stark?s assistant which inevitably sparks romantic tension between Stark and former assistant Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), who?s been promoted to CEO of Stark Industries.

Well, finished shooting that is. As Marvel's website celebrates the end of filming, Entertainment Weekly hypes up the movie and leaves us to wonder, just how sneaky are the folks at Marvel Studios?

We're being played by Jon Favreau and friends, and we kind of love it. As Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige told Marvel.com,

What's more difficult in shooting a sequel is that expectations are much higher for this film and we really want to top what we did on the first film... Every day involved working extremely hard in order to improve upon what we did on the first film.

But his comment in EW's latest issue suggested just how they're planning on lowering those expectations:

I liked when the first Whiplash photo came out and people were like, 'What is this? Is that just a prototype suit?'... I'm like, Good! They're doubting us! That's my comfort zone.

So, that really might've been a foiler photo, after all? Although, you have to admit: If they really released that pic so that we'd doubt them on IM2, they know exactly what they're doing.

    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
