Marvel Studios, a subsidiary of Marvel Entertainment, Inc. has launched the production of Iron Man 2 starring Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell, John Slattery, Mickey Rourke and Samuel L. Jackson. Jon Favreau will direct Iron Man 2, the sequel to Iron Man, with the screenplay by Justin Theroux. Iron Man 2 is being released in theatres domestically on May 7, 2010 and distributed worldwide by Paramount Pictures. Tele Munchen will distribute the film in Germany and Austria.

Iron Man 2 is being produced by Marvel Studios' President, Kevin Feige, and executive produced by Louis D'Esposito, Jon Favreau, Stan Lee, David Maisel, Denis Stewart and Susan Downey.

I'm torqued about them switching Terrance Howard, but if they were going to replace him with anyone, I think Don Cheadle would be that person. So, while I'm a little pissed off, I've got complete faith in the movie, and will not worry about it further.

QUIT BITCHING ABOUT THE CAST CHANGE! I'd be enthralled if sony would swap Toby Maguire for Jake Gyllenhall.

Marvel has plans that run six, maybe ten years ahead, but their dreams can't exceed their wallet at this point, at least not publicly.

See... I figured that they'd do a sequel, or more to "The Incredible Hulk," and then have it so that "The First Avenger: Captain America" was the one who had ONE movie, and then got incredibly involved with "The Avengers." Besides, if I remember correctly Captain America was really anal with The Avengers and everything, wasn't he? Anyway, I'll be happy to see Ed Norton return as the big green guy either way... I was just hoping to see more Hulk villains, you know? LOLZ!!!!!
