Wanna see Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man/Tony Stark talk shop in a donut shop from “Iron Man 2” footage shown at Comic-Con? Get it here while it’s hot, surely this won’t last long.
Seems like Jon Favreau and co. are not dialing down the irreverent humor in this (Stark throws a dig at Fury’s eye patch) and thankfully not treating the Marvel Universe so seriously. “Look, I told you I don’t want to join your super secret boy band,” Stark tells Fury, meaning he doesn’t want to join The Avengers group that he’s assembling (obviously that will one day change).
It also seems that Stark is pretty hungover in the opening scene. Next from there they go into a Senate hearing with Don Cheadle as Jim Rhodes and Garry Shandling as a badgering senator that wants the billionaire to turn over his “Iron Man weapon” to the U.S. government. The second half of this footage is more like a sizzle reel that shows off footage of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash and Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow. You may have noticed we haven’t closely followed every single little drop of info on “Iron Man 2,” because we’re not obsessed with the film or anything, but we must admit, this footage looks good and seems to contain all the ingredients that went into making “Iron Man” the original, a very enjoyable success.
