MTV recently asked Robert Downey Jr. what he would consider the "theme" of
Iron Man 2.
Here is his response...
"The theme was legacy — and there's a double legacy. There's the legacy he's fondly attempting to continue. There's the legacy that's attempting to be subverted by some old foes. And there's the legacy he has no idea about, which of course, the Marvel Universe provides." When asked if there were any similarities between his own relationship with his father (who was an accomplished actor, writer and director) Downey had this to say...
"Any time your dad is revered — I grew up with [people saying] 'hey, that's Bob Downey's kid' — and understandably so. I mean, he's a great innovator and a heck of a filmmaker. In Tony's case, it's really this massive, looming shadow of his dad's almost posthumous perfection. And it's tough for him to live up to."
