Marvel Movie Blog*

Is it me, or does everyone working for Marvel Studios seem to be really emotionally invested in what they're doing? Every time I read an interview with one of the actors, directors, producers, FX guys, or whoever, they always seem totally psyched to be on the team they are on and associated with whichever project they're involved with. Favreau and Downey Jr. seem like they genuinely want Iron Man 2 to be the best thing ever. Feige seems determined to make quality movies across the board - not just box-office hits but beloved films that people really enjoy, take to heart, and watch again and again.

I want to work for Marvel, dammit!

Check out the eight image slideshow on USAToday.com. There are a couple of quotes from the cast accompanying the slideshow that seem to indicate they are all psyched for the film and very eager to deliver the goods to a very demanding fan base.

More pics from Iron Man 2

From /Film. Looks like some kind of courtroom drama in store for the sequel. Could Justin Hammer be using all sorts of attacks on Stark, including legal ones? Or might Stark be defending himself as a result of being framed by Hammer, as he was in the comics (the "Demon in a Bottle" storyline)...?

And now the crispy clean first high-res image of Scarlett as Black Widow

Check it out on EW.com!

The accompanying article is pretty interesting and worth reading. Take for example this passage:

...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."
