Iron Man 2

Tony Stark is back as the genius billionaire in this thrilling sequel to the worldwide blockbuster Iron Man.

Tony Stark must once again wear the mighty gold and red suit for the sake of himself, and the world. While it didn't quite live up to it's awesome predecessor, Iron Man 2 didn't disappoint in any way and it left a lot of clues as to future Iron Man villains.
