A year before it opens in theaters, Iron Man 2 is already a hit.

At last week's Comic-Con festival, no show or movie received as much attention and hype as this wildly-anticipated sequel.

After discussion various inspirations and storylines for the movie, director Jon Favreau gave fans a look at the first trailer for the movie. It depicted two key scenes:

1. A haggard and angry Tony Stark ate doughnuts with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). The former described how tough it was to do all this world-saving on his own, yet refused Fury's proposal to join a "superhero boy band."
2. Stark testified before a Senate committee about his possession of a secret super weapon. Sarcastically, Stark demanded the Senate thank him for maintaining "world peace." Garry Shandling, the Senate committee chairman, told Stark to "f--k off!"

Sounds awesome.

Meanwhile, the following trio of images from the film have been released:
