Scarlett Johansson, Action | featured news

This week at the movies brings just one wide release: Iron Man 2, the hotly-anticipated superhero romp starring Robert Downey Jr., Don Cheadle, and Scarlett Johansson. What do the critics have to say? As with many blockbuster sequels, Iron Man 2 is bigger, louder, and filled with more characters than its predecessor. Critics say that doesn't mean it's better, but it's still got enough firepower to kick off the summer in fine style -- and the always-delightful presence of Robert Downey Jr. ensures that Iron Man 2 stays on track.

The trailer for the summer 2010 sequel to "Iron Man" is out. "Iron Man 2" reunites Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark with Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts. The film also adds Scarlett Johansson and Mickey Rourke and swaps in Don Cheadle for Terrence Howard. Like the first it is directed by Jon Favreau.

The movie is out May 7.

Paramount Pictures has provided ComingSoon.net/SuperHeroHype with the hi-res version of the new Iron Man 2 poster as well as more photos from the anticipated May 7 release (the Scarlett Johansson/Black Widow isn't new, but it's the first time we have a good quality version of it). You can check out bigger versions of each by clicking them below, and you can get them even bigger by downloading them to your desktop in the gallery!

Yes, we know, these screenshots are really crappy, but... it's the first photos of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow in Iron Man 2 ! The pics, which were showing during "Entertainment Tonight," come from Friday's issue of Entertainment Weekly , so we should have some hi-res versions of all of them soon, stay tuned. Opening in theaters on May 7, 2010, the Jon Favreau-directed sequel is wrapping up filming this week as well.
