We'll see. I loved the first Iron Man, but I prefer sequels to be birthed out of passion for a story worth telling (read: The Dark Knight) than just as a contractual obligation to a business model for the studios. The Matrix, Pirates and Spider-Man are just a few recent examples of film "franchises" that never should have infected pop culture beyond the first feature. I'm not certain Iron Man 2 is being made with the same priorities in mind that made the first film great.

Anything with Scarlett AND Mickey Rourke is destined to be an instant classic!
