Robert Downey Jr., who played Iron Man in the first movie, looks as arrogant as ever in the sequel
Los Angeles, December 17 -- Hollywood’s adaptation of Marvel Comic’s “Iron Man” will be released on May 7, 2010. While that has a long way to go, fans all over the world are cherishing this moment as a leaked trailer with the movie’s latest clips has started doing the rounds.
Robert Downey Jr., who played Iron Man in the first movie, looks as arrogant as ever in the sequel. His effortless charm, Scarlett Johansson as the “Black Widow”, plus some of the most awesome gadgets ever seen have already made sure that the movie creates waves at the box office.
More on the leaked trailer
A series of leaked information pertaining to the movie had come first; this comprised of posters, and photographs, called the “Iron Man clue”. Now, the new, leaked trailer has provided satisfying glimpses of all the major characters in the movie.
A fan named Mirko P, from Houston, was able to unlock the website called, “StarkSecretConfessionRevealed.com”. All this happened around 3.08 p.m. PT, on Wednesday. While for the first hour the site showed a countdown of a new trailer for the summer blockbuster “Iron Man 2”, at around 4.08 p.m., it started redirecting users to iTune Movie Trailers.
While the fans were driven crazy, Iron Man franchisee is ready to milk it all.
Movie’s glimpses from the trailer
The leaked trailer mostly features the scene where towards the end of the movie, Downey publicly reveals that he, Tony Stark, is indeed Iron Man. This is followed by cheers from the crowd, as Stark arrogantly declares that he has "successfully privatized world peace" by becoming Iron Man.
As far as we can see from the trailer, the romantic angle is provided by none other than the lovely Gwyneth Paltrow, who plays Stark’s secretary. Stark asks her for a "smooch for good luck" when he is about to jump off from a plane, and she reluctantly obliges.
The villains are just as flamboyant, with sultry Scarlett Johansson playing the sexy and vicious “Black Widow”, while Mickey Rourke looks highly disturbing and scary as “Whiplash”, a Russian whose real name is Ivan Wanko. He menacingly says at one point, “You come from a family of thieves and butchers. And now, like all guilty men, you're trying to rewrite your own history."
We also get a precious glimpse of “Warmachine”, played by Don Cheadle, in a one-on-one with Iron Man. Also featuring in the trailer is Smauel L. Jackson, who plays S.H.I.E.L.D director Nick Fury.
