There have been many announcements over the past few months concerning casting on Iron Man 2. Don't worry, Robert Downey Jr. is back, along with Gwenyth Paltrow, and Jon Favreu as the director, but the speculation is in the remaining parts. Let's look at who is locked down, and who just recently got added. If you need to IMDB any of these, please mail your movie geek card, your Blockbuster membership card, and Netflix packets to me for proper disposal.
Locked down:
Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. You had to watch the credits for his appearance in the last film, but apparently, his role is much more significant this time, and will be even bigger in the Avengers movie, which he has also been locked down for.
Don Cheadle as War Machine/Rhody. Don Cheadle is set to replace Terrance Howard, after apparently Howard being difficult to work with during the last movie, so, similar to T.O., this should be a good move, and having Don Cheadle in anything is a good thing, as the man simply has an abundance of talent.
Just added:
Scarlett Johannson as the Black Widow. Replacing Emily Blunt as a sexy villaness, this is a very good move. Johanson is not only a recognizable name, but a great talent, who is also incredibly hot...all good things.
Mickey Rourke as Russian Villain Whiplash. This one has gone back and forth, but apparently, after some fee compensation, he is officially signed, and will be playing an interesting badguy. This should be good, I mean, Iron Man is already responsible for one resurrection, who knows, between the Wrestler, and Iron Man 2, Mickey Rourke could be the main guy in Hollywood.
So, things are looking really good as principle filming starts next week, this is definitely one to keep an eye on.
