Metal guy movie has footage

As previously reported everywhere in cyberspace besides here, Jon Favreau and several of his actors debuted a big chunk of Iron Man 2 footage at Comic-Con in San Diego in July. Finally, the roughly five minutes of footage has debuted online in gratifying Bootleg-o-Vision right here. What took so long?

Just as promised, you'll see Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury bantering with Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark as he lounges in a giant fake donut in his Iron Man suit, with sunglasses replacing the helmet, eating an actual donut. Marvel at the triumphant return of Garry Shandling as a United States senator butting heads with RDJ's meticulously goateed Stark in some sort of televised hearing. Bask in the indecipherable narration of Mickey Rourke's Ivan Vanko as he builds stuff in a room adorned with the fake periodicals from Iron Man the first, with sudden cuts to both ScarJo's Black Widow jumping around a white room and a very Rocky 4-esque scene of dancers against a giant American flag, Hopefully you'll enjoy Rourke on the racetrack whipping around his electronic Whiplash tendril things like an elderly post-apocalyptic Jump Rope For Heart participant as much as I do.

Close the window after the Black Sabbath-accompanied title screen and you'll miss Sam Rockwell being characteristically slimy as gloved arms dealer Justin Hammer talking to dour and suddenly not-very-Terrence-Howard James Rhodes in a hanger. For the final shot you lucky people get the screen debut of yet another dark-suited and truly awesome 90s-tastic Marvel comics character. With Ghost Rider, Gambit and Venom already making the jump, we're only a Darkhawk and a Carnage away from having the whole awful decade committed to screen.
