First Look: RDJ Shares Iron Man 2 Stage

Robert Downey Jr.'s Marvel superhero has company in first promotional poster for Iron Man 2

Iron Man has company.

While the original was pretty much a love poem to Robert Downey Jr., the first promotional poster for next summer's highly anticipated Iron Man 2 suggests that the sequel has gone the Batman-and-Robin route—because our hero's got himself a sidekick.

Downey's magnetism aside, our Iron Man can't do it alone forever—"it" being entertain CGI-accustomed audiences without even more wicked battle scenes.

Hence the admittance of Don Cheadle's War Machine, whose presence on the poster indicates that he's going to be right behind the big, red guy when Iron Man 2 hits theaters May 7.
