As expected a new trailer for Iron Man 2 was revealed by Robert Downey Jr. on Jimmy Kimmel Live: After the Academy Awards yesterday and it also made its way online soon after. In this trailer we see a lot more of Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow, along with more footage of Whiplash attacking Tony Stark at the Monaco Grand Prix. We also get a glimpse of a new portable Iron Man suit.

With the world now aware of his dual life as the armored superhero Iron Man, billionaire inventor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) faces pressure from the government, the press, and the public to share his technology with the military. Unwilling to let go of his invention, Stark, along with Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and James “Rhodey” Rhodes (Don Cheadle) at his side, must forge new alliances — and confront powerful enemies.

Iron Man 2 will be released on April 30th in the UK and May 7th in the US.

It’s about time we got a new one! According to Futon Critic Robert Downey Jr. will be appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live: After the Academy Awards on Sunday, and he’ll be introducing the second trailer for Iron Man 2.

Host Jimmy Kimmel welcomes two-time Academy Award(R)-nominated Robert Downey Jr. and a musical performance by Grammy Award(R) winner Keith Urban to the fifth consecutive “Jimmy Kimmel Live: After the Academy Awards”, SUNDAY, MARCH 7, immediately following the late local news (12:05-1:05 a.m., ET, approx). Downey will introduce the world premiere of the new “Iron Man 2? trailer only moments before Urban performs his new hit single, “Til Summer Comes Around,” from his 2009 album, “Defying Gravity.”

The trailer will no doubt make its way online at some point over the weekend, so keep your eyes peeled!

You can watch the first Iron Man 2 trailer below:

MSN France got their hands on an exclusive behind the scenes look at Iron Man 2. In the video (which is dubbed in French as expected) we see Jon Favreau, Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke and Robert Downey Jr. talking about the Monaco Grand Prix scene where Whiplash unleashes his whips upon Tony Stark and his F1 car. There is also a short clip which shows Tony Stark talking to some officials (again in French) before entering a room which contains Mickey Rourke wearing very little.

It’s here! The first trailer for Iron Man 2 has appeared online and I never thought a man with electric whips could excite me so much. Whiplash is the definition of badass.

In the trailer we are introduced to Russian prisoner Ivan Vanko who sees the Stark Family as ‘butchers’, so he’s out for revenge. We also see brief clips of Scarlet Johansson as Black Widow and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. Watch below!

Last week we saw the first Entertainment Tonight Iron Man 2 set visit, then the second, and now they have three one-on-one interviews with Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and Scarlett Johansson to present to us.

The interviews are embedded after the cut, and they may all start playing at the same time so you’ll have to be skilful in how you deal with the situation. But it’s okay…I believe in you..

First up is Gwyneth Paltrow who talks about Pepper’s promotion to CEO of Stark Industries and the love triangle between her character, Black Widow and Tony Stark.

Next Don Cheadle talks about War Machine and getting in on the action with his own suit. He also mentions that Robert Downey Jr. shaves his chest. Exclusive info right there.

Finally Scarlett Johansson talks about how she got the role (although she doesn’t mention Emily Blunt having to drop out, but it’s okay because nobody likes to be a second choice), showing the Black Widow suit to Ryan Reynolds and performing the stunts required for the role.

We haven’t heard anything from Mickey Rourke yet. Maybe they don’t want him to be interviewed because it will break the whole ‘badass villain’ role he will be playing.

Yesterday we got a sneak preview and today we have the full Entertainment Tonight Iron Man 2 set visit. Most of the visit takes place on the Monaco Grand Prix set where Tony Stark first meets Whiplash. We see some cars being smashed up and Robert Downey Jr. says that it is probably his “favorite thing in the world to do professionally because you get the free adrenaline rush and it’s all safe.” Gwyneth Paltrow talks about wearing skimpy clothes and Scarlett Johansson talks about training for the role of Black Widow and the love triangle between her character, Tony Stark and Pepper Potts.

Watch below!

Entertainment Tonight visited the set of Iron Man 2 when filming was taking place a few months ago and they have released a 34 second sneak peak of what went on. It doesn’t tell us anything new and it’s all flashy and zoomy, but it’s something. Watch below!

The full set visit will be shown later today.

Scarlett Johansson recently spoke to IrelandOn-Line about playing Black Widow in Iron Man 2, and she also spoke about where she would like to go with the character in the future.

“She has many different incarnations and different storylines so I’m hoping she will be able to continue in that way. I’m hoping that if the fans like the character and support the character, we’ll see her again.”

As well as a movie based on the Black Widow, Scarlett has hinted the character will return to screens in the hotly-anticipated ‘Avengers’ movie.

The 24-year-old star added: “I hope I get to come back and do it again. The character certainly comes back. We see that she does in the comics and certainly she is a big part of The Avengers. I don’t know if that is where it’s going to go but she is definitely a big part of The Avengers.”

We have been getting hints that Black Widow will appear in The Avengers, so that’s where she will likely pop up next. I doubt we will be getting a solo Black Widow movie. Female superhero have been taking a back seat over recent years thanks to a few bad movies. However, if she kicks ass next May people might actually be up for seeing one.

Earlier this week we got our first look at Scarlett Johansson all suited up as Black Widow in Iron Man 2. Now we have another image thanks to Yahoo! but this time she is simply Natasha Romanoff. Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) has been promoted to CEO of Stark Industries and this means Tony Stark needs a new assistant. Who better than world class athlete and gymnast, expert martial artist, markswoman, and weapons specialist Natasha Romanoff? She’s a Russian spy too. Tony Stark won’t know all of that when hiring her to do his paperwork, but he will no doubt find out eventually.

Earlier today we got our first look at Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, however the accompanying article also gives us a few details about what we can expect in the sequel. Here are some snippets below:

Rourke, for his part, wanted to instill some lightness into the role of the heavy. “I told Favreau, ‘I don’t want to just play him as a one-dimensional p—-,’” he says. “He let me have a cockatoo, who I talk to and get drunk with while I’m making my suit.”

Scarlett Johansson joined the cast as Stark’s mysterious new assistant, Natasha, who has an alter ego of her own, Black Widow. That introduction inevitably sparks romantic tension between Stark and former assistant Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), who’s been promoted to CEO of Stark Industries. “The men want it to be, like, ‘Ooh, the girls are fighting over Tony,’ but it’s not as standard as that,” says Paltrow. “There’s a weird male catfight fantasy. Downey agrees. He believes what differentiates the franchise from other superhero series can be summarized as follows: “We’re horny. Not, like, can’t-bring-your-kids horny, but just…horny.”

Mickey Rourke getting drunk whilst talking to a cockatoo and lots of horny people. Iron Man 2 sounds like it’s going to be fun.

In other IM2 news director Jon Favreau has been updating his Twitter account, counting down the days until filming finishes. 1 day to go!
