It’s indisputable that the first Iron Man resuscitated Robert Downey Jr.’s career, but there’s no doubt that in that role, the actor found a perfect synthesis of a character’s personality quirks and his own. Next week, Iron Man 2 is scheduled for release, and in the eagerly-awaited follow-up, Downey further expands on both Tony Stark’s smarmy charms, and his own A-list pedigree.

Hollywood News recently joined a small army of reporters at a press day in Beverly Hills, Calif., to speak with Downey about his contributions to the upcoming sequel. In addition to talking about getting suited up again, Downey offered a few scoops – albeit humorous ones – about some of his upcoming roles, and took the time to champion his Iron Man 2 co-stars, even as, in perfect Stark and Downey form, he ribbed them in equal measures.

[Note: Although "Hollywood News" is used to distinguish questions from answers in the text below, our journalist was just one of many reporters asking questions of the filmmakers.]
