If you checked out the recent photos from Jon Favreau's upcoming sequel "Iron Man2" and liked what you saw, I encourage you to check out these new stills from the anticipated sequel, which hits theaters May 7, 2010. I know, it's a long wait, right?

Anyway, the pics above and below give you another good (and pretty hot) look at Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts and even Don Cheadle as James Rhodes, the role that previously belonged to Terrence Howard.

This time around, Iron Man has two enemies he has to go up against: Mickey Rourke's Whiplash, who builds his own version of Stark's cool suit, and Sam Rockwell's Justin Hammer, a weapons manufacturer wants to bring down Stark.

Entertainment Weekly just posted a photo of its latest issue's cover, which goes all "Iron Man 2," the Jon Favreu-directed sequel that will hit theaters May 7, 2010.

The flick is currently shooting, and as you can see on the images above, it stars Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, Mickey Rourke as Whiplash and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. Yeah, she looks nice.

Whiplash has an alter ego named Ivan Vanko, who builds his own version of Stark's cool suit. Iron Man's other enemy this time is Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell), a weapons manufacturer wants to bring down Stark.

As for Johansson's Black Widow, she appears as Stark's new assistant. Don Cheadle, Samuel L. Jackson, Kate Mara, Clark Gregg and Gwyneth Paltrow co-star in the film.

Michael Caine is at it again. Just a few weeks after he talked about the possibility of Johnny Depp and Philip Seymour Hoffman showing up in the sequel to “The Dark Knight” (a rumor that turned out to be false), the actor is now talking about who may star in one of his upcoming projects.

“Then I’ll probably do a film with Scarlett Johansson. I forget what it’s called. It’s an adventure film. I was told yesterday that they have Matthew McConaughey as the guy. I’ve got go home and read it again. It’s a heist adventure film,” Caine told MTV.

As long as we don’t have a confirmation from McConaughey’s and Johansson’s camps, this of course, is just a rumor. I personally hope it’s not true, because I have great difficulties imagining these two together in a heist flick.

Whatever happens, Caine will always be a great actor. It’s kind of funny that he’s been spending some tie throwing casting rumors out there. Maybe he’s just having a little fun.
