This movie introduces some of the more well-known main and side characters of the Marvel Franchise. We get Don Cheadle, the new Rhodey, and who plays Rhodes for the rest of the franchise (Terrence Howard was in the original Iron Man). There’s also an appearance from Scarlett Johanssen and if you don’t know who she is in this franchise I won’t tell you here, same with Mr. Samuel L. Jackson. And the main villain of this story, another genius who never got his chance to shine thanks to Stark – Whiplash.
Tony’s also dealing with some serious side effects, being poisoned by the machine that’s keeping him alive, his business competition is stealing his designs, and being hounded by the government to turn over his new weapon.
This all reaches a breaking point at the Stark Expo when said competition reveals their newest innovation – soldier drones for the military. Of course, Whiplash is in control and a full on battle ensues, with the outcome being a new partner for Iron Man, Warmachine.
