Stark Industries is actively recruiting new employees. | Marvel.com News | Marvel.com

In another stunning example of viral marketing, a website for Stark Industries has been set up to promote Iron Man 2. I don't really know how it will all fit in with the movie yet but I'm interested to find out. There is an online form that you can input your resume to work for Stark Enterprises. I don't know how that will fit in because Anthony Stark and his company are fictious, but this could be a lot of fun.

Here is a great pin up of Black Cat wearing Spider-man's costume as a nightshirt. I'm not sure if they hooked back up now that Peter and Mary Jane's marriage never happened, but we'll see where it goes.

More Iron Man 2 Info from Comic Con 2009

I came across some really sweet videos and photos promoting Iron Man 2. The one thing I really wanted I could not find: the footage shown during the panel.
I'm going to keep looking. But for now, I've found these photos and a great video from the floor of the Marvel booth. They had full suits of armor from the first movie and the fourth version of armor from the second film.

Iron Man 2 Coverage at Comic Con 2009

Iron Man 2 made a huge splash at Comic Con 2009 this year. Here is information I pick up from the web

Jon Favreau, Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansonn, Sam Rockwell, Don Cheadle, and others are on hand to deliver fresh footage to an amped-up crowd during the loud, fast, and furious panel for the massively anticipated 'Iron Man 2.'

Quite a few film panels at this year's Comic-Con created serious excitement, among them those for Avatar, Alice in Wonderland, District 9, and, of course, Twliight: New Moon. You could say the New Moon frenzy dominated Thursday, but Saturday belongs to Jon Favreau and his rock-star cast of Iron Man 2.

Below are some choice moments from the panel in Hall H, in play-by-play format, courtesy of Superherohype!:



*Huge round of applause and a lot of people standing for John Favreau, who comes out to the tune of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man." "You don't know how much we've been looking forward to this. Nobody cared before we came here two years ago!"



*They just showed a splash reel teaser for the movie that was kind of lame but Robert Downey Jr. just walked out and is giving Favreau a hard time about the crappy footage they just showed. Favreau is giving excuses that they just finished a week ago and that the FX aren't ready. Favreau says it's his son Max's birthday and the audience is half-heartedly singing "Happy Birthday" to him... they're really juicing it before showing footage.

*Going to take a little time to write up the footage we just saw... the crowd is going NUTS! We got to see Mickey Rourke's Whiplash in action, as well as Scarlet Johansson's Black Widow.... and holy crap... WAR MACHINE!!!!!!

*Sam Rockwell is here... so is Scarlett Johansson and Don Cheadle...

*Footage opened with Iron Man without his helmet sitting in a giant donut on top of the donut shop (which we've seen in early pictures). We see the back of Sam Jackson's head as Nick Fury calls Tony Stark to "Come down from the donut" and the next scene shows the two of them talking inside the donut shop, continuing the conversation that began in the ending scene in the first "Iron Man" about him possibly putting together a group of heroes.

*The second scene takes place in a courtroom where Tony Stark is being grilled by Senator Stern played by Gary Shandling, who is trying to find out why Tony Stark has a specialized weapon that he's not sharing with the government. We get the same sort of sass and gumption we saw from Downey's Stark in the first movie and hopefully we'll have time to share some of the funnier bits. The scene ends with them calling Col. James Rhoads and we get our first look at Don Cheadle in his role replacing Terrence Howard as he comes out and has a few words with Stark, as it's apparent that the former friends are now on opposite sides of the fence.

*The third scene introduces Mickey Rourke as Whiplash and unfortunately, the voice over was hard to understand because of his thick Russian accent, but we can see him sitting at a workbench working on something that is revealed to be a similar chest plate as Iron Man's. The scene is cut together fairly quickly with glimpses of Scarlet Johansson as the Black Widow kicking ass. We then get to see Whiplash in his full costume (similar to the picture that was released a few weeks ago) and he's whipping these insane energy whips on the ground sending up sparks. That leads into a shot of Iron Man flying through the air and the logo, which everyone thought was going to be it...but nope!!

*The last bit is the first look at Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer walking up to the original Iron Man armor lying on a table and asking, "What did you do," to which he's told that it's classified by Cheadle and a general with him, but asking what they're going to do for them in terms of firepower. Hammer says they came to the right guy and he starts pulling out all sorts of weapons to retrofit on the armor and Cheadle says "I think I'll take it... ALL OF IT" and sure enough, we then see our first look at the retrofitted Iron Man armor as WAR MACHINE, which looks BAD-ASS!!

*Favreau was very political about whether he might direct The Avengers because he's been so busy making Iron Man 2, but he says that he's been seeing Thor come together and liked what he's been seeing.

*They were asked about working with Mickey Rourke to which Downey Jr. said "I thought I was eccentric" then passed it onto Rockwell who works with him more in the movie. Rockwell was giving his usually short answers but mentioned "smoking a few cigarettes" with Mr. Rourke. Favreau is talking about the origins of the new Whiplash character and how Rourke went into a Russian prison to get into the character after hearing that his character had spent time in one. Downey made a joke about how Rourke's "9 1/2 Weeks" was one of the first movies shown in Russia after the fall of the Wall and said "Where else do you want to go when you're a sex symbol in Russia but a Russian prison."

*Favreau says that they're not doing the "Demon in a Bottle" storyline and won't be going that dark even though they'll be going further into the character and how his decision is affecting his life and the people around him.

*Scarlett Johansson is telling about the training she went into and why she wanted to do as much of the stunts as she could.

*Just showed the footage again and it looked just as impressive as the footage shown two years ago.

*Incidentally, there have now been two shout-outs to Moon, one by the moderator and one to a guy asking questions who said Rockwell should get an Oscar nomination.

*Don Cheadle has been asked how much of Terrence Howard's performance influenced his own, to which Cheadle responded that he tried to make the character his own although he admits to being a "vampire" who takes something from everyone. There are a lot of questions for Don Cheadle, though most of them are pretty lame.

*Someone just asked how Bob Layton's work on the comic has influenced the movie and Layton is being brought up on stage, and he's talking about being invited on stage and he says that he was really proud of the first movie and thinks the new one will "knock your socks off."

*Sadly, the panel is over very quickly... faster than anyone hoped.
