Downey Jr. and Howard Talks "Iron Man" Sequel
>> Apr 6, 2009
Currently ET Online sat down with Robert Downey Jr. to discuss about the upcoming "Iron Man" sequel and asked the hints of the story:
"The film is almost entirely about character, and yet we still have twice as much action as we did last time, so it's going to be nuts. Essentially "Iron Man 2" is about looking behind the armor, or the armature, of a superhero. It's one thing to say you're Iron Man, it's another thing to be fully ready to do that" says Downey Jr.
He adds to Splash that the fan favorite storyline 'Demon in a Bottle' won't be used in this sequel - "I think [Demon in a Bottle is] probably best saved, because it’s such its own storyline. We’re going for the interim space [between the origin and Demon], which is more a look behind the mask of someone who says he’s Iron Man and what it really is to become a superhero."
Meanwhile, in another place, Terrence Howard has shared his thought with Sci Fi Wire about what he thinks happened regarding his deal with Marvel that included him returning for two more "Iron Man" film as James "Rhodey" Rhodes. As many of you know by now, the studio brought on Don Cheadle to replace him.
"They made a choice. They made a very, very bad choice," said Howard. "They didn't keep their word. They didn't honor our contract. They sent everyone out into a field and told them to work and produce a great bounty. You produce a great bounty, and then when it's all in the storehouse, you are not allowed into the storehouse."
He continued: "They did the same thing with Gwyneth [Paltrow], from what I've been told. They did it with almost everyone, I think, except Downey throughout the thing. One of the things that actors need to learn to do is take a tip from 'Friends' [whose cast members all held out for higher pay]. You always choose to stick together. One for all and all for one."
Howard added that Marvel doesn't need to worry about him revealing the future plans of the franchise. "When someone does something wrong, you don't have to get them back," he said. "Everything right will return the favor for you."
