It was supposed to hit on Jimmy Kimmel at any moment now, but it’s already on internet.
We expected to see very little new footage in this trailer, but there’s actually quite a bit of new footage especially of Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Samuel L. Jackson (as Nick Fury) and Sam Rockwell (who looks like he’s having a helluva good time). This writer wasn’t quite sold on Mickey Rourke (Whiplash) the first time around, but with a bit more breathing room in this trailer, any worries have been allayed. We always thought “Iron Man” was a lot of fun, and “Iron Man 2” promises to up the ante. We like what we’re seeing and this is one of the few forthcoming comic book films we’re genuinely looking forward to. If it’s in the same ballpark as the original, we’ll be more than happy.
The film is really just right around the corner. “Iron Man 2” hits theaters on May 7.
