"He's Iron Man, he's Tony Stark, he's going to go a million miles an hour," Favreau said in an interview with The Los Angeles Times.

"So what do you expect this film to be and how can we take it past those expectations? When I was watching AC/DC with my wife and my son and they were playing 'Shoot to Thrill' at the Forum, I thought, 'You know this is how he should show up, right in the middle of this and take the armor off. That's the Tony Stark version of doing things."

"It was a big leap," he added. "It was not a cheap thing to do. Whether you're blowing up a tank or landing in a rock concert, it's the same thing for a visual-effects team, once he's moving around, he's moving around."

Iron Man 2 is set to be released on April 29th in the UK and May 7th in the US.

Still find that scene with AC/DC music and the dancing girls and stark triumphant a little bit groan inducing. I have faith the rest of the movie will not be that cheesy.

After inception underwhelms everyone to death, batman 3 will be much less anticipated...fav and Downey (and marvel) timed this one right...if it had 3d ticket prices it'd rival avatar in release

The only reason their songs sound the same is cause once you get it perfect the first time there isn't really anywere else to go :p

Yes a lot of AC/DC all sounds similar. However given any 15 of their songs, to say that only 2 of them are good is hating just to hate. Same goes for ZZ Top. Maybe one prefers 2 of the 15 but that doesn't make the other 13 bad.

@Anil...What has 7 arms and sucks...Def Leppard but to each their own I guess.

ETA regarding Led Zep. At one point The Who was breaking up and Moon and Entwistle were going to form a band with Jimmy Page. A saying at the time refering to a bad performance was that a show went down "like a lead balloon" John Entwistle having the wit that he did suggested that the band be called Led Zeppelin. A Year or so later Plant and Page burst onto the scene.
