Garry Shandling Cast in Iron Man 2

By Rodney - April 7, 2009 - 13:10 America/Montreal

Jon Favreau is picking up Iron Man right where the last one left off, and we will get to see Garry Shandling in those opening scenes.

/Film says:

When Jon Favreau described the first day of principal photography on Iron Man 2 as “It’s like we picked up where we left off” he wasn’t kidding. IESB has learned that the scene that was shot is a continuation of the final scene of the first Iron Man film, where Tony Stark reveals to the world that “I Am Iron Man.”

And it seems the role that Garry Shandling will be playing is a “guy in a suit” and earlier reports say he will be in that opening scene. Perhaps as a reporter.

No word on jut how dominate of a role Shandling will have, but from the sound of things it might be little more than a cameo. Perhaps not.

    Sweet. I’d like to see some great banter between RDJ and Shandling.

  2. Derbmeister says:

    I’m confused, Gary was at the end of the last film?

    • Rodney says:

      No, but the scene at the end of the last film was a room full of reporters who had just witnessed Stark say “I am Iron Man”

      Then credits roll. You don’t really see who was in the press crowds. Apparently Shandling will be among them in the new film.

    Hopefully Shandling will have a bigger role than just a cameo. He’s one funny sumbitch.

  4. eric says:

    if you read john favreau’s twitter page he said that gary said to him “i can’t wait to see the movie to see who I’m playing.”

  5. Gutpunch says:

    MovieExpert indeed. He needs to take a lesson in proper comedy by watching The Larry Sanders Show.

    And it’s Iron Man.

    • Rodney says:

      Hey “Expert” are you just making shit up now?

      The comic was never called IRON MEN. There always was only Iron Man.

      You have NO proof that there ever was an IRON MEN because it never happened. Iron Man came out in Tales of Suspense in 1963 as IRON MAN, and has never been Iron Men

    • Rodney says:

      Well “expert” you seem good and determined to embarass yourself into obscurity so how about you explain how a website for a PAINTBALL TEAM called Ironmen has anything to do with comic books.

      Are you really that ignorant? I clearly know far more than you do if you are just going to keep pulling this kind of crap.

      So make up more bullshit to try and illustrate how little you know about Iron Man.

    • Rodney says:

      We already checked “expert”.

      Your done.

    OMG iron men would be so awesome

    An army of Iron Men causing destruction panic and chaos! Lead by Radioactive Man, Dynamo and Melter!!!!!!!!

    I would pay to see that.

    “ironman: rise of the ironmen”

    And have like a 50 minute scene of JUST Gwyneth Paltrow <3

    “Airfore hencing the calling ‘Iron Men’”

    Airfore? Is that a word.

    Hencing? Is that a word.

    Maybe he meant ‘Airforce Fencing’. Now that sounds a bit more interesting; the airforce fighting each other a la musketeers stylee.

    I can just see the billboard now……Musketeers 2: The Revenge of the Pilots.

  8. Rodney says:

    Shandling is far from a no-talent hack. Clearly you are not much of an Expert if you think that of Shandling.

    He is a gifted and intelligent comedian. He may not be a superstar, but he is a charming and appealing guy on screen.

  9. Rodney says:

    When you finally start feeling educated, you can cry yourself to sleep for every last word you try to type in these comment sections.

    “airfore hence” you are a dumbass.
