The trailer for what is sure to be one of the biggest movies of 2010 hit the Internet last night, and it's a doozy. "Iron Man 2" welcomes back Robert Downey, Jr. as the titular Marvel Comics machine-assisted superhero and welcomes Don Cheadle, Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johansson to the fold. Based on the trailer, "Iron Man 2" will bring back everything that audiences loved about the first movie: Downey's indestructible charisma, inventive effects and lots of cool things blowing up.
It also brings back some excellent music. One of the fantastic aspects about the trailer for the first "Iron Man" film was that it went ahead and used Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" as a music cue. (As everybody knows, any use of a Black Sabbath tune automatically makes anything 62 percent more badass.) The "Iron Man 2" trailer brings the Sabbath song in for a callback at the very end but is mostly buoyed by the opening sequence, which is set to AC/DC's "Shoot to Thrill." It's an excellent choice, as AC/DC also have that instant-badassifying quality that Sabbath has. Plus, they had a song on 2008's Black Ice called "War Machine," which hopefully will be used as Cheadle's entrance music in some scene in the film.
