'Iron Man 2' Déjà Vu: Scarlett Johansson Joins RDJ in 'Chef'

Marvel Marvel

Can you say "'Iron Man 2" reunion"?

As much as we'd like to forget that particular sequel confection, all the essential ingredients of it were solid (except perhaps the gamey taste of Mickey Rourke), so it makes our mouth water to learn via The Hollywood Reporter that the delectable Scarlett Johansson will be assembling with Avenger Robert Downey Jr. for star/director Jon Favreau's "Chef."

'Iron Man 3': The Story Behind Mark Ruffalo's Top Secret Cameo

[From MTV NewsAs with all of Marvel's movies, "Iron Man 3" ended with an Easter egg — this time, a little button of a scene between Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and a decidedly unengaged Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), as the eponymous superhero recounts his post-"Avengers" experiences.

According to Mark Ruffalo, that scene was conceived and abandoned at least once before time actually came to film it. Get More »

Infographic: How Much Time Iron Man Spends in His Suit

One of the many perks Robert Downey Jr. gets with each new "Iron Man" sequel (besides a substantially bigger paycheck) is spending less time in those hot-rod red suits and more time in his trailer watching "Downton Abbey" with Jon Favreau.

With "Iron Man Three" rocketing to the top of the global box office, we thought we'd calculate just how much RDJ's Tony Stark has been slacking with each ensuing installment, leaving Rhodey and Pepper Potts to do the dirty work.

'Iron Man 3' Scores Second Highest Opening EVER

Marvel Marvel

Ben Franklin once famously said that the only two certainties in life were death and taxes. But that's only because he wasn't aware of this weekend's box office matchup, which was as sure a thing as this world has ever seen thanks to the debut of "Iron Man 3."

And according to Film.com, lightning has indeed struck a third time, as "Iron Man 3" earned an estimated $175.3 million in its opening weekend to record the second highest opening in history, behind only Marvel's "The Avengers." That film brought in an incredible $207.4 million last year.

For a full run down of the weekend's box office top ten, head over to Film.com. But seriously, don't expect to see much going on other than "Iron Man 3." It's basically the only game in town.

So Who Is The Mandarin, Anyway?

Ben Kingsley in Iron Man Three Marvel

Sometimes when fans go to see superhero movies they already know in advance everything there is to know about the bad guy. After all, everyone's familiar with The Joker or Lex Luthor. However, sometimes the bad guy is some relatively obscure figure known only to scholars of the source comic book — you know, like Bane or Thanos or Parallax.

So, for many fans, the biggest question heading into — and coming out of — "Iron Man Three" is this: Who the heck is this nefarious shadowy fellow who calls himself The Mandarin? Get More »

Marvel's Phase Two of movies rockets to new heights with "Iron Man Three," a surprisingly funny and explosive sequel with Robert Downey Jr. back as the man in the iron suit facing off against a mysterious new enemy known as the Mandarin. Also back is Don Cheadle for his second stint playing Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes, Tony's best friend and the man who suits up in the War Machine armor that has been painted in a red, silver and blue patriotic design re-named the Iron Patriot.

Cheadle, who took over the role of Rhodey from Terrence Howard in "Iron Man 2," is a versatile actor who is just as at home in the porn world of "Boogie Nights" as he is in a superhero's iron suit or in his Oscar-nominated role in "Hotel Rwanda."

We sat down with the Iron Patriot himself as he talked about Rhodey's superhero potential, what he spent his first professional paycheck on and whether or not he thinks he's a film snob. Get More »
