Tony Stark in a Fight
Actually it's Robert Downey Jr. training for a fight for Iron Man 2. So apparently he'll get into a brawl as Tony Stark, probably get beat up bad, and then come back as Iron Man for revenge...maybe.

Robert Downy Jr. Talks About Iron Man 2
Downy Jr. talked with Entertainment Tonight and he does mention a little about Iron Man 2. The most we currently know about the plot is this line:
"Essentially 'Iron Man 2' is about looking behind the armor, or the armature, of a superhero. It's one thing to say you're Iron Man, it's another thing to be fully ready to do that...The film is almost entirely about character, and yet we still have twice as much action as we did last time, so it's going to be nuts."
The video of the interview is below. The Iron Man talk doesn't occur until about 3:40 so just skip to that point.

Turns Out Mickey Rourke is Not Crimson Dynamo
No worries, he's still probably going to be in Iron Man 2. Just not as the villain Crimson Dynamo. Everyone just kinda assumed that. During a MTV interview with Robert Downey Jr., he said that Rourke isn't playing Crimson Dynamo, but he wouldn't confirm or deny about Rourke playing Whiplash. He said "maybe it's some semblance of both."
Downey also says that the sequel won’t suffer from too many villains. The film focuses on the responsibility of the world knowing Tony Stark is Iron Man. Downey also promises that the film will be “three times more fun and strange.”
Update: Here's a video of the actual interview. It's a fun watch.

Robert Downey Jr. Talks About The Avengers
MTV was able to talk with Robert Downey Jr. about his thoughts on the The Avengers movie. This is what he said:
“If we don’t get it right it’s really, really going to suck. It has to be the crowning blow of Marvel’s best and brightest because it’s the hardest thing to get right. It’s tough to spin all the plates for one of these characters.”
“I think its important that I do what I’m supposed to do which is keep my side of the street clean. "The danger you run with colliding all these worlds is [director] Jon [Favreau] was very certain that Iron Man should be set in a very realistic world. Nothing that happened in Iron Man is really outside the realm of possibility. Once you start talking about Valhalla and supersized super soldiers and jolly green giants it warrants much further discussion.”
He's right. Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk has been portrayed as stories that could happen in our world. But when you add flying thunder gods (Thor) and giant humans (Ant Man), things start turning into fantasy, which might not go well for the general audience.
The Avengers plans to be released in theaters on July 15, 2011.

Robert Downey Jr. and IMDB
Robert Downey Jr. is the star of Iron Man and everyone says how great a choice he was to play Tony Stark. To tell you the truth I had no idea who Robert Downey Jr. was. I had to look him up on The Internet Movie Database. Then I saw that he plays Tony Stark in another movie. That movie is The Incredible Hulk(2008).
My thought process, "So Tony Stark will appear in the new Hulk movie. This means Iron Man and the Hulk live in the same universe...What! that never happens in movies. Is this the start of a new beginning? Whoa." And then I peed my pant.
