From set photos to office tours, Jon Favreau's Twitter page has been an incredibly entertaining source for all things "Iron Man." But is the director's Twittering habit now bringing some of the superhero sequel's plot details to light?
According to Favreau, the "Iron Man 2" director has reprised his role as Happy Hogan, Tony Stark's bodyguard sidekick. While the character was rather subdued in the first film, it sounds like Favreau's role will be significantly more colorful in the sequel -- the actor-turned-director has already been involved in stunt work.
"Woke up sore from doing stunt work last night," Favreau posted on April 18th. "I shoulda known it was coming when the stuntwoman said goodbye by saying 'Take some Advil.'"
One day prior to that post, Favreau revealed via Twitter that he was "[on] set getting ready to shoot as Happy."
If Favreau's Hogan is already in the midst of stunt work, and if Hogan is Stark's bodyguard, then it's almost certain that Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. are getting in on the action scenes together. With recent reports that "Iron Man 2" would focus on Stark's public revelation as Iron Man, is it possible that the stunt-heavy scenes might involve some sort of attempt on Tony's life?
Regardless of the scene's circumstances -- which, in all likelihood, will remain shrouded in mystery -- it's great to hear that Favreau's character is getting beefed up for "Iron Man 2," if only for an explosion here or there.
As an equally talented actor and director in the world of comic book movies -- Favreau also played Foggy Nelson in "Daredevil," mind you -- there's no doubt that Favreau's further involvement as Happy Hogan is anything but awesome.
What do you think of Favreau getting down in the action for "Iron Man 2"? Would you prefer him to stick behind the lens, or are you psyched to see a meatier role for Happy Hogan? Let us know in the comments!
