Shooting for Iron Man 2 and Green Lantern

The new age of media is upon us the the way we find news and tell stories has changed vastly over the past few decades. Jon Favreau, director of the "Iron Man" franchise, has relayed more information about filming for "Iron Man 2" via his Twitter.

"Rehearsals began today on Iron Man 2. Three weeks from shooting and my life is no longer my own. I forgot how overwhelming this process is."

Favreau spoke to Entertainment Tonight during the release of "I Love You, Man" and spoke about Mickey Rourke's role in the upcoming sequel.

"I know Mickey's been in Russia doing research for a role, I can confirm that," Favreau said. "We haven't made any official announcements yet. But I will say that there's a Russian villain in our film."

Favreau also spoke with IESB during the "I Love You, Man" premiere and spoke more on Rourke and also Scarlett Johansson.
