Robert Downey Jr. and director John Favereau seem to be on a creative streak together, their next project after Iron Man 2 seems to be another comic movie Cowboys & Aliens.

Cowboys & Aliens has a long history in Hollywood. Famously bought based on a poster concept, the idea kicked around from Universal and Dreamworks to Columbia and back to Universal. Several writers have taken a crack at it. When Downey’s name was attached the current writers were Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus, who wrote Iron Man. Now Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Damon Lindeloff are rewriting. As far as we know the logline is the same: in the Old West, “settlers and Native Americans wage a bloody battle for control of the land. But when the Earth is threatened by conquerors from the stars, these sworn enemies must work together to save all humanity.”

The interest that rises when Favreau and Downey threaten to team up on this one is tempered by the Kurtzman/Orci involvement. Sure, their Star Trek worked, but that was a casting success more than anything else. Will another casting success and the input of Favreau overcome the Kurtzman/Orci tendencies? We might find out in 2011; the film is tentatively scheduled for a summer 2010 start date.

This is something that just seems right from the get-go. I’m all about it, they certainly have the right chemistry going and hopefully they can keep it up.

Iron Man 2 has finished principle photography.

You might have seen Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau’s Tweets about principal photography wrapping up in the early hours of Saturday, July 18th, which was followed by a wrap party on Sunday night. Now,Marvel.com has posted quotes from producer Kevin Feige about the 71-day shoot as well. Here’s a clip:

“Shooting ‘Iron Man 2′ was a fantastic experience and we couldn’t be happier. Although there were many challenges in making this film, having Jon Favreau, Robert Downey, Gwyneth Paltrow and almost the entire crew from the first film back on board, allowed us to hit the ground running as everyone was instantly familiar with each other from day one,” Feige told Marvel.com. “This dynamic allowed us to get done what we needed on a day to day basis and was a big factor in why we finished slightly ahead of schedule.”

There’s sure to be additional shooting as they piece together the final version of the film. I really hope it reaches the same level as the first film, all the pieces seem to be in place.

Here’s the first shot of Mickey Rourke as the villain Whiplash in the upcoming film Iron Man 2.

Whiplash sports a power pack on his chest that looks similar to the one used by Iron Man. “The technologies are definitely related, and that’s part of the core theme of the film,” says Favreau.

The character’s alter ego, Ivan Vanko, is a Russian who, Favreau says, “has constructed his own version of a suit.” Among the creative alterations: a pair of whips, powered by the suit’s glowing chest piece. Whiplash “is going to light them up,” says Rourke.

Looks cool, but this is really just a tiny little taste of what’s in store for this mega sequel. Rourke is certainly up for the task.

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.

Emily Blunt is in the running to play Black Widow in the upcoming Iron Man 2.

Emily Blunt has emerged as the frontrunner to play the role of Natasha Romanoff in the “Iron Man” sequel. She’s a Soviet super spy who doubles as Black Widow, a beauty in a skintight black costume that is enhanced by high-tech weaponry.

Blunt, whose recent credits include “The Devil Wears Prada,” “The Jane Austen Book Club” and “Charlie Wilson’s War,” will get a profile boost when she stars with Benicio Del Toro in the Joe Johnston-directed “The Wolf Man” for Universal.

She’s seems like she’d be the perfect choice, we know she’s got to skills as an actress. Hopefully Favreau decides on her.�
