NEW Iron Man 2 Trailer

And the Iron Man mania begins…or continues in this case. With the launch of the Iron Man 2 trailer, we get our first good glimpse of one of the most highly anticipated superhero movies of next year.

What you’ll see in the trailer: the government (embodied by Garry Shandling) wants the Iron Man suit; Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark and Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) are still playfully flirting; Mickey Rourke’s Russian accent sounds atrocious, but Whiplash in action does look cooler than the stills; Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury at least makes a cameo, which is likely the beginning setup of an oncoming Avengers movie; not a peep but some quick martial arts from Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow; and our first look at War Machine and Iron Man fighting side by side, which already looks amazing.

Action-packed is definitely the right descriptor. Iron Man 2 opens in theaters nationwide on May 7, 2010.
