Is Iron Man 2 an escapist, crowd-pleasing piece of big-budget popcorn entertainment, or a two-hour ad for neo-capitalism? Can it be both?

Favreau isn’t locked in as director yet, but he wants the job, and he wants the biggest bad guy of them all.

We’re not saying he should take on nine villains in the next film, but here are a few to choose from who are up to the task.

The big release this week went from Dark Horse to Tentpole, but will you help support that tentpole by being there the minute it opens?

You’ve been clamoring for non-grainy images, so we’re delivering them to you. Free of charge. (But please tip your waitstaff).

Marvel just gave away some details about their upcoming slate of films that certain comic fans might just be interested in. Iron Man 2, Captain America, Thor, and more on the inside.

As a fan of the comics, it looks like Favreau is saying all the right things when it comes to elements of Iron Man 2. Should I continue getting my hopes up about War Machine and Tony Stark losing his mind? I think so.

With Iron Man 2 a full year away, I’m not sure that releasing a teaser image is the right way to try to retain the dark horse status that Jon Favreau claims to want.

Get ready for a ton of exposed wiring and scaffolding as the production for Iron Man 2 photographically prove that a set is almost done.

The mega-star is being realistic about the difficult task the lies before him and Marvel when it comes to a film that’s already gathering buzz even before getting out of the starting blocks.

Thank Buddha because the summer movie season is finally here!

Release date or not, unless there’s a solid script and film is running through the camera, I don’t trust any movie’s rumored existence. We’ve been burned before.

Jon Favreau sat down with EW.com to talk about the surprise critical and opening box office success of Iron Man, the risk of casting Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, and what the future hold for Favs, Iron Man, and The Avengers.

Marvel has taken over the Arclight Hollywood lobby with pure awesome!

The buzz behind Iron Man has created the perfect storm of media hype leading into the summer season. For some, the film simply cannot live up to the hype, but that’s only reserved for sci-fi nerds who have downloaded every scrap of leaked footage and hi-res photo onto their computer. For the casual viewer, the film delivers exactly what the trailer promises.

Tony Stark ain’t like other superheroes. He’s a drunk, and that’s what makes him so fun. So if Tony Stark can fly around in a metal suit to fight crime while he’s drunk, why can’t you sit in a theater and watch Tony Stark fly around in a metal suit to fight crime while you’re drunk. Here are some pointers.

As summer quickly approaches, soon the sun will be out in full force and it’ll be time to whip out a pair of sunglasses and face the world.

The two cutest versions of Iron Man and War Machine were drawn by Jason Quinones, who describes these drawings as more of an “Iron Boy.”

I’m sure that at least once, Tony Stark was drunk enough to use his own helmet as a martini glass.

Will War Machine be in the new Iron Man movie? His toy is at Wal-Mart!
