Favreau Talks About The Cast of ‘Iron Man 2′
By Landfill | October 15, 2009
Director of Iron Man Jon Favreau has been talking about his latest film Iron Man 2 due to release next May. He’s given us quite a few updates, the latest, he won’t be directing The Avengers, but will produce. Today he gives us a little insight into Tony Stark’s latest additions in upcoming CBM.
“I think the central relationship is still those two characters,” Favreau told MTV News. “It’s still Pepper and Tony.”
“We introduce Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and she has a dual identity, so that ends up affecting both the superhero side of things and the personal side of things—as I think all good superhero plotlines do.”
After clearing up any concerns some fans might have with the new addition, the director switches the topic to War Machine.
“Then we have Don Cheadle. We’ve upped Rhodey’s significance in the film and now I think the cat’s out of the bag about War Machine, so he’s in that suit,” he said. “How does he become War Machine? What’s his relationship to Iron Man?”
After War Machine talk, he moved on to the villains played by Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell. “We also have Mickey Rourke and we have Sam Rockwell, two of the best actors of our time. We really have an embarrassment of riches.”
“Now it’s up to me as a director to make it all come together, and to also have a light enough touch so that people who just want to go see a fun summer movie will go,” he explained. “I think ‘Iron Man’ delivered on that. My kids who don’t really know the comics and are young were able to go and enjoy the first one and I want to make sure ['Iron Man 2'] is a movie that won’t insult grown-ups’ intelligence but will also be appropriate for kids.”
