Shiny “Iron Man 2” First Official Poster

Currently, Paramount Pictures has released the first official poster for their upcoming superhero sequel film "Iron Man 2". Not only revealed the titular hero in his slightly upgraded armor, it also gave the first look at War Machine, Tony Stark's best friend who wears silver armor. As a poster usually means that a trailer isn’t far off, just remember that Favreau previously hinted on his twitter account that we should be seeing a trailer for “Iron Man 2” in front of "Sherlock Holmes" this December 25th. Now, let’s take a look at the poster and click for a better view.

“Iron Man 2” takes place only "six months after Stark revealed his identity as Iron Man" at the end of the first movie. Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow will reprise their roles as Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. Meanwhile, War Machine and his alter ego Col James 'Rhodey' Rhodes will be portrayed by Don Cheadle after Terrence Howard, who took the role in the first film, quit the project. The forthcoming movie will additionally introduce Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. Joining them in the star-studded cast ensemble are Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko / Whiplash and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.
