Iron Man 2 wraps, new photos released

After a shoot that lasted just over 70 days, director Jon Favreau has called a wrap on Iron Man 2. The extensive post production process now begins, with the film opening on May 7th next year. Favreau posted regular updates on the shoot via his Twitter page, and all seems to have gone well. And with the film now in the can, an assortment of further images from the movie have now being released.

Over at USA Today, they have shots of Robert Downey Jr in his racing get-up, as well as another image of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow (to add to the image released earlier). We also get to see Don Cheadle stepping into Terrance Howard's shoes as Rhodey. There's, granted, not much you can tell from the pictures themselves, but after the superb job all concerned did establishing the franchise with the first film, you can't help but be a little bit excited...
