Iron Man 2

Iron Man 2 has been making waves recently, with a slew of promotional materials. Just in the last week, we've been treated to a barrage of posters and even the beginnings of a viral marketing campaign.

So, it's no surprise that Marvel and Paramount have recently premiered the first official trailer for the film.

Iron Man 2 continues where Iron Man left off, with Tony Stark battling the U.S. Government for control over the technology that runs his powerful suit. Meanwhile, sketchy Russian Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke) is making his own weaponry based on Stark's technology. When Whiplash hits the scene, Iron Man may need some backup! Good thing Rhodey stole the tech too!

Check out the Iron Man 2 trailer below to catch quick glimpses at Whiplash, War Machine and even Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, and take a longer look at some images from the film in our Iron Man 2 pictures gallery!
