‘Iron Man 2′ Leaked Footage
For those of you that weren’t able to attend the Iron Man panel at Comic-Con, you’re in luck. The five minute clip that Director Jon Favreau showed the audience has now been leaked online. The clip features Robert Downey Jr, Don Cheadle, and Garry Shandling.
Typically, clips like this get shut down IMMEDIATELY. However, Favreau Twittered about the leak, saying:
“Thanks for all the encouraging feedback. Will let you know if/when official clean version goes up.”
We’ve said it many times–Favreau is a marketing GENIUS. We wouldn’t be surprised if the Director is somehow behind the leak. He knows how to keep ‘em coming back–wanting more.

Will Iron Man 2 Face Bad Karma?
Can’t wait until 2010 for a slew of heart-pounding Iron Man 2 battles? Well, wait no more Marvel fans, as a real-life battle of words is about to begin between War Machine and Iron Man. In an interview with Parade.com, actor Terrence Howard spoke out about Marvel’s decision to replace him with Don Cheadle in the role of Jim Rhodes. “Marvel made a choice, and it was a very, very bad choice,” Howard said. “They didn’t keep their word. They didn’t honor my contract.”
According to Howard, Marvel Studios wasn’t in a very sharing mood when it came to the film’s $318 million gross ticket sales. For unspecified reasons, except for what Howard hints at as greed, the producers did not share profits with him, as well as several other members of the Iron Man cast, including actress Gwyneth Paltrow. According to Howard, the only actor who received a share was Robert Downey Jr., who played the title role. Howard called Downey out, saying “One of the things that actors need to learn to do is always stick together, one for all and all for one.”
Iron Man 2 Production Begins: Rourke Does Not Disappoint
According to Director Jon Favreau’s twitter account, production for the highly anticipated Iron Man 2 movie began on Monday, April 6. That means Robert Downey Jr. is suiting up into the ole Red and Gold, Gwyneth Paltrow is getting into a power suit and setting up appointments as Pepper Potts, and Terrence Howard is at home wondering why Don Cheadle is playing Jim Rhodes instead of him.
Also starring in the cast are Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johansson. The duo will play Russian villains The Crimson Dynamo and Black Widow. Sam Rockwell will be on hand to play Tony Stark rival, Justin Hammer. According to a twitter post by Jon Favreau about Mickey Rourke’s first day on the set, “Rourke does not disappoint.”
