Paramount has debuted the first official teaser poster for Iron Man 2 this afternoon on Yahoo. Jon Favreau tipped us off via Twitter that this would be debuting and it’s a beauty. I wasn’t overly fond of the final Iron Man posters they used on the first movie, I just thought there was too much going on, but this one is sleek and sexy and just plaina wesome. This also shows that they’re certainly going to be giving us lots of War Machine in this sequel. They’re definitely off to a good start with the marketing on Iron Man 2 so far. Don’t forget that we should be seeing a trailer for Iron Man 2 in front of Sherlock Holmes as well.

Iron Man 2 takes place only “six months after Stark revealed his identity as Iron Man” at the end of the first movie. Jon Favreau is directing again from a screenplay written by actor-turned-writer Justin Theroux. Iron Man 2 stars Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, Mickey Rourke as Whiplash, Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer, and Don Cheadle as Rhodey. Favreau revealed that the first official trailer would be attached to Sherlock Holmes this Christmas, so be on the lookout for that next month. Paramount is bringing Iron Man 2 to theaters on May 7th next summer.
