Studio already preparing for a sequel

Iron Man 2 In 2010
Now, this all depends on Iron Man being a success at the box office, but a sequel could be coming in 2010. Since we can see absolutely no reason why this very enjoyable movie would fail to make a hefty profit, we should all start marking some space in our diaries for two years from now.

Brad Grey, Big Chief Superman of Paramount, told US showbiz series Entertainment Tonight that if all goes as hoped with the first movie, that a second will come out in the same week in 2010.

The news of a sequel is extremely welcome. Iron Man is a great build to what should be an amazing sequel, with a well-drawn cast of characters established and potential for some massive action. Our only ask is that they make sure to have a good story in place. It would be an enormous shame to have done such great ground work on the opening of the franchise to then slip-up on the second by rushing it into production. But we have faith in everyone involved in Iron Man, since they all seem to have genuine love for and belief in Ol' Metal Head.

RE: RE:
L: Overmind L: rayhiggins Saw a preview yesterday and found it very enjoyable. Hell, I was surrounded by gobby 12 year old boys trying to out-geek each other and they managed to shut up for the entire film. It takes a good film to hold everyone's attention like that for 2 hours. I look forward to the sequel and, hopefully, hine or the Mandarinuote] Though they were hinted this might not be the sequel.

RE: Genuinely the best comic movie made
L: Manhatten As a long time fan of Ol'Shellhead, this movie did not disappoint. Though I didn't feel the film was rushed after the introduction of the Mark III I did feel it was the case with Tony's Relationship with Pepper. I found it was more political based than your average superhero movie, something I hope to see more of in the Avengers movie, it was pretty much what I expected it to be and then some what with the Samuel L. Jackson's brief cameo as Nick Fury at the end of the credits.... Read More

RE: Genuinely the best comic movie made
If they choose to have Terrence Howard play War Machine in the sequel. How about using the Busta Rhymes song "This Means War" which samples "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath.   youtube.com/watch?v=73Kcqwo2jrwp; keep the beat and the "This means WAR!!!" but cut out the rest of the lyrics. Could work pretty well? ... Read More

This is good news, but I wonder if the weakness of the film's second half (i.e. after he gets his final Mark III suit) will be a reflection of things to come in an 'Iron Man' sequel. ... Read More
