Garry Shandling has joined the cast of Iron Man 2.

The folks at IESB were on set and confirmed that the comedian has landed a role in the sequel. He looks to be a "reporter or Senator," according to sources.

The site also states that Iron Man 2 picks up almost immediately after the original ends, as the movie begins during the final scene of Iron Man, following Tony Stark's announcement that he is, indeed, the superhero.
