"We did add some action to the end of the film," Favreau said while talking to MTV about the changes made to the film. "The nature of what happens in the final battle was altered."

"We built upon the ending, but I don't know if it's something that would have been – because that was all in the digital realm anyway, so it's not like we would have shot something differently than what we shot," said the director. "Decisions were made downstream in post-production as we worked on the special effects at the end of the movie."




Also over on MTV Splash Page were these two interviews where Don Cheadle, who plays War Machine in Iron Man 2, talks about which comic books inspired his performance, the use of improv in the movie and talks more about the relationship between Tony and Rhodey!



"I took something from all of them, because the character over the whole arc changes quite a bit," Cheadle said when asked which War Machine stories helped to inspire his performance. "They both do."

"Ultimately in the comic book lore, War Machine takes over for Iron Man for a while, so I don't know. It all just kind of went into the soup and then you still have to show up on set and bring something."



"No, there wasn't a locked-in script," revealed the actor. "To be honest, We did improv a lot. We were very often sort of on a journey of discovery in the scenes, trying to find out where we were, who we were, what it was going to be."

"In particular, our story was kind of tricky to navigate. Between Robert's character and myself — between Tony Stark and James Rhodes — because they're friends, then James acquires the suit and they're not friends or they're enemies. How do we come back? I think that was the real tricky thing," he added. "They knew where it needed to end up, but it was tricky figuring out how to get there."
