John Favreau was recently interviewed by Empire magazine about his upcoming sequel Iron Man 2. Here’s what he had to say. 

“Tony’s expected to be a role model and I don’t think he’s ready to be one. He’s under a great deal of pressure and when you’re under pressure, I think you find outlets for that. That’s one of the tensions of the film: it’s one thing to say you’re Iron Man, and another thing to actually become Iron Man.”

And what of Stark’s friend and confidant Jim Rhodes? Favreau hinted that Rhodes, now played by Don Cheadle, will be tooling up big-time when he dons his own armoured suit as War Machine. “Rhodesy is definitely stepping up in this film. Let me put it this way: Tony’s not the only person with technology in the film.”

I’ve gotten some glimpses of the sets and some of the story points myself which I can’t disclose (for fear of litigation) but I’ll just say Iron Man 2 is going to be a film with a much larger scope than the first one.
