Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau interview

As followers of Jon Favreau’s on-set tweets will know, today is the half-way point in the Iron Man 2 shoot as the production starts to take shape. Favreau recently gave Empire a few pointers on Tony Stark’s arc as he faces down new villains Whiplash (Mickey Rourke) and Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell). “Tony’s expected to be a role model and I don’t think he’s ready to be one. He’s under a great deal of pressure and when you’re under pressure, I think you find outlets for that. That’s one of the tensions of the film: it’s one thing to say you’re Iron Man, and another thing to actually become Iron Man.” – From Empire
