World’s Worst Secret: War Machine to be in Iron Man 2

May 28, 2009 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comment 

Finally, a confirmation of something we all knew: War Machine will be in ‘Iron Man 2.’  In a recent conversation with Empire, Director Jon Favreau spilled the beans:

“Rhodesy is definitely stepping up in this film. Let me put it this way: Tony’s not the only person with technology in the film.”

With Whiplash and Justin Hammer as confirmed bad guys, Tony could use the help from Rhodesy.
