Director Jon Favreau showed an exclusive clip of Iron Man 2 to fans gathered at the Comic-Con at the San Diego Convention Center last Saturday.
The clip showed an eye-patch-wearing Samuel L. Jackson, who plays Nick Fury, and a redheaded Scarlett Johansson throwing down as martial-arts master Black Widow. It introduced Sam Rockwell as weapons guru Justin Hammer; a fearsome-looking, heavily tattooed Mickey Rourke as the villain Ivan Vanko, who becomes Whiplash; and Don Cheadle as Col. James Rhodes, who becomes War Machine.
War Machine’s super-powered, weapon-filled suit and Whiplash’s first attempt at a wearable apparatus that features two electrically charged whips wowed the fans.
Present at the showing were Favreau, lead actor Robert Downey Jr., Cheadle, Johansson and Rockwell.
“You guys saw it before we even saw it,” Cheadle told the crowd.
“That trailer blew my mind, actually,” Rockwell said.
