Iron Man 2 starts filming Monday

Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau updated his Twitter profile with the following:

Start shooting Monday. Last of cast has arrived in LA

By ‘cast’ he means Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Samuel L. Jackson and Scarlett Johansson. I’ve only just noticed how cool the bunch of actors Favreau has assembled are.

Iron Man 2 is scheduled for a release next May, which means there’s only 1 year and 1 month to wait!
