UPDATE #3: You can click on the hi-res cover below for a bigger version and there's a better-quality Robert Downey Jr./Tony Stark photo below it as well.

UPDATE #2: We now have a better version of the second photo of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow!
UPDATE #1: Entertainment Weekly has posted a clearer version of the cover shot, though it's still pretty small. They also have quotes from the cast on the characters in the sequel. Here's several excerpts:
When Marvel Studios first announced the sequel, no one was sure what the movie would be about. Downey, director Jon Favreau, screenwriter Justin Theroux, and the rest of the creative team 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 join forces to take down Downey’s character, Tony Stark. Rourke, for his part, wanted to instill some lightness into the role of the heavy. "I told Favreau, 'I don't want to just play him as a one-dimensional p----,'" he says. "He let me have a cockatoo, who I talk to and get drunk with while I’m making my suit."
Adding more flesh and blood to the new movie, Scarlett Johansson joined the cast as Stark’s mysterious new assistant, Natasha, who has an alter ego of her own, Black Widow. That introduction inevitably sparks romantic tension between Stark and former assistant Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), who’s been promoted to CEO of Stark Industries. "The men want it to be, like, 'Ooh, the girls are fighting over Tony,' but it's not as standard as that," says Paltrow. "There's a weird male catfight fantasy. Downey agrees. He believes what differentiates the franchise from other superhero series can be summarized as follows: "We're horny. Not, like, can't-bring-your-kids horny, but just…horny."
ORIGINAL STORY: Yes, we know, these screenshots are really crappy, but... they are the first photos of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow in Iron Man 2! The pics, which were shown during "Entertainment Tonight," come from Friday's issue of Entertainment Weekly, so we should have some hi-res versions of all of them soon, stay tuned. Opening in theaters on May 7, 2010, the Jon Favreau-directed sequel is wrapping up filming this week as well.

For some reason, I do not like Rourke's look as whiplash. I'm not digging the greasy frosted hair. Isn't he supposed to represent a Russian. He doesn't have the stereotypical Russian look.

I just signed up for a subscription last week (for the pictures, the movie reviews are pretty far off), so if I'm not mistaken, this should be my first issue. The timing kicks arse.
I can't wait to see what they're up to on set.

i still think they meesed up by not accomodating EMily Blunts schedule, she'd have been perfect.
Posted by: Richard of Norway on July 16, 2009 at 02:54:13
I have to say she looks a lot better than I had feared. I have never liked that she got the part, and I'm still not convinced she was right. But these pics do help a bit.

Deadpool: Black Widow, I've gotta know... Are those real?
Black Widow: I beg your pardon?
Deadpool: Ahh... Your teeth, they're just so darn shiny and straight.

Sure, Scarlett looks good.
Still don't think she really has the Black Widow look to her, looks to... shiny?
Black Widow is never afraid to get her hands to dirty, and this Widow just looks to clean, like shes fresh of school (which she might be :D)

Neat little bit of information. The font used to create the "STARK" logo on the fireproof driving suit (the one he's wearing, which will more than likely be for the racer) is the Spider-Man font. :P

Wow! I couldn't even tell that was Scarlet Johansson...
Posted by: what the hell? on July 16, 2009 at 06:31:34
I know its a really crappy pic, but I cant recognize Scarlett at all. It doesn't look like her at all in either. I can tell the other two, but for some reason I think it looks nothing like her. Again, I know its just the crappy pic, but I figured I would have an idea of how she looked.

There never was any doubt, she's a blond first off and second, she's a great actress. Girl with a Pearl Earring, The Island, The Other Boleyn Girl and countless other films I've seen with her signal a capable actress who posseses a wide emotional range and capacity to play varying characters of differing personality and tempermant. I can't to see Scarlett with more detail. Can't wait for Avengers 2 and the comic con!

Hopefully Reynolds will force Fox to trash Deadpool. I don't even know why fans are backing Deadpool given Fox's last comic films. Oh wait, it's because they're Deadpool fans. The most undeserving character for a movie. All the Deadpool fans are probably the same fans who think TDK sucked except for Joker.
__________________________________
Nope, everyone but Bat-fanatics thinks TDK sucked except for the Joker. I hate DP and TDK sucked. I think everyone's entitled to like what they want and don't usually repond to it negatively but it's beginning to irk me how batgeeks seem to insert TDK (their only reason for living aparently) into every stinking thread on the site - Marvel, DC, Transformers, whatever - gotta put TDk in there as if if the movie is ever allowed to slip into obscurity, they'll go right along with it. Anyway, whatever.
Scarlett looks way better in the part than I'd hoped, mainly due to the fact that they stayed true to the comic look. Hope the bracelets fire lines that she can swing from!

Pics look incredible, I saw this last night on ET and my jaw dropped. I will be picking that issue up Tuesday, since on subscribers get it Friday.
Scarlett looks incredible, Robert, well can you say, looks great again, loving the Mk. 4 armor and Rouke just looks badass as always.
Iron Man 2 will rock summer 2010.
