With only 160 characters, these tidbits are coming in small snippets, so be sure to tune back in to ComicBookMovie.com when Brent does his full write up tonight. Here's what's coming in:
Brent's Text message...
-On the panel is RDJ, Scarjo, Rockwell and Cheadle (No Mickey Rourke)...
-Crowd going nuts...
-Starts with mock footage, then actual footage...
-Stark & Nick Fury, courtroom scene...
-Black widow in action...
-Whiplash attacking Stark with electro whips...
-Final footage of War Machine in action... Well, it looks like they know how to play to the crowd. I'm sure War Machine is gonna get the fanboys screaming as loud as the Twilighters when Rob Pattinson takes off his shirt.
-Here come the questions...
-Favreau deflects a question about The Avengers... Says he's still focused on delivering one more Iron Man movie, but promoted Brannagh's Thor... Says he's "Happy to be a part of it, in some way."
-Mickey is sorry he couldn't be there. Most of his scenes are with Sam Rockwell...
-Talking about Tony using alcohol to deal with the pressures of being Iron Man... That is interesting news.
Entertainment Weekly made it sound as though the "Demon in a Bottle" storyline about Stark's alcoholism was dropped. Favs was quoted as saying, "If you went straight into 'Demon in a Bottle,' it would end up feeling like
Leaving Las Vegas... The story doesn't give you much"
-Cheadle makes them play the preview clip over again... Audience goes wild... They are digging the War Machine scene... That's all that is coming in. Brent isn't responding back to my replies, so he must be going into the press interviews area now. Be sure to check back tonight to see what he's got to report!
Very exciting!
UPDATE: Brent is texting again from the Q & A...
-I just talked to Sam Rockwell. He's only got a few scenes with Stark and one with Johansson. He describes his character as "an evil mentor" to Mickey Rourkes character...
-Scarjo says that the Gwyneth cat fight rumors are false...
-Don Cheadle said he has no bad blood with Terrance Howard. "It's between him (Terrance) and the studio."
-Scarjo says that the Gwyneth cat fight rumors are false...
-I asked Scarjo if she was going to keep her Black Widow costume like her prom dress, so she could try it on in 5 years to see if it still fit, and she said, "Why? Is that what you did with yours?"
I just texted Brent back to ask Scarlett what she thinks about her hubby (Ryan Reynolds) getting the part of Green Lantern. Let's hope he gets to ask it. Stay tuned. Too late.
-Both Downey and Favreau talked about films AFTER Iron Man 2, that they were still in the early stages of talks...
-No confirmation was given whether the Hulk would be in The Avengers, but they said "Hulk characters" will be! Does that mean that the government is irradiating more super soldiers and they are going to be part of the team? Or maybe the villains of this one? Hmmmm.
-Rockwell is looking to do a follow-up to the short film "Robin's Big Date" in which he plays Batman... More to come. Keep checking back!
