just saw Iron Man 2 trailer!
I really like comic book movies. I love the mythos of comics. I love that while they're fantastical they also try to communicate something universal. And I love analyzing and deconstructing them, because they tend to present ideals of masculinity and ideals of what it means to be American.
So I was looking forward to Iron Man 2. Now that I've seen the trailer (which can be viewed on the website ironmanmovie.com) I'm really looking forward to it. I had no idea about the casting until now. I knew that Terrence Howard wasn't coming back, but I didn't know that he had been replaced by Don Cheadle - Hotel Rwanda Don Cheadle - who is just such a good actor, he evokes such sympathy. And that the villain is being played by Oscar-winner Mickey Rourke! And Scarlett Johansson too! On top of the returning cast, the movie is just packed with top actors. It seems like it's going to be good. I hope the same is true for all the other Marvel movies slated for the next couple of years, seeing as they seem to be tying them all together with The Avengers.
