Iron Man 2 is a 2010 American superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Iron Man, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Paramount Pictures. It is the sequel to 2008's Iron Man, the second film in a planned trilogy and is a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Directed by Jon Favreau, the film stars Robert Downey,
Jr., who reprises his role as
Tony Stark. In cinematic canon, it takes place six months after Iron Man, and directly before
Thor. The film's events take place after The Incredible Hulk but before the final scene with Tony Stark and General Ross.
Tony Stark has revealed his identity as Iron Man and is resisting calls by the United States
government to hand over the technology.
Ivan Vanko, meanwhile, has developed the same technology and built weapons of his own, creating new challenges for Stark.
