Entertainment Weekly’s second annual Comic-Con preview issue will feature new photos of Robert Downey’s Iron Man 2 on the cover, along with Scarlett Johansson and Mickey Rourke.

The first Iron Man that blasted Robert Downey Jr. back to stardom will be returning to the big screen on May 7, 2010. His new battles (with villain Mickey Rourke) will hopefully prove that the success of the first movie wasn’t a fluke. Downey knows the movie isn’t an underdog this time around. “There are a lot more invisible eyes on us now,” he says.

Downey, director Jon Favreau, screenwriter Justin Theroux, and the rest of the creative team are struck upon the idea of introducing two very different foes for Stark. On one side is Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell), a fast-talking weapons manufacturer who fancies himself the next Tony Stark; on the other, Vanko, who, while incarcerated in a Russian prison, creates his own battle-suit, which shoots devastating, whip-like beams. Hammer and Whiplash will join forces to take down Downey’s character, Tony Stark.

Rourke tells Favreau, “I don’t want to just play him as a one dimensional pussy, he let me have a cockatoo, who I talk to and get drunk with while I’m making my suit.”
