* 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.
