American Cinema, Technology and Cyborg Embodiment
Iron Man 2 is about Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) a businessman who in the previous film made a device that kept him alive when he was kidnapped. Furthermore, he made a metal superhero suit to help him escape, whenever Tony wears the suit people call him Iron Man. In this film, he refuses to sell it to the military and tries to reassure them that there is no threat from other countries because of this technology. However, Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke) makes another version of the suit with the same kind of technology and battles with Tony. Ivan is defeated and sent to prison where he breaks free. The military finds him and pays him to make the suits. Nevertheless, at the presentation of the suits, Ivan makes one suit but double crosses the military and turns the other suites into drones to battle with Tony. Luckily, Iron Man and his friend Lt. Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes (Don Cheadle) defeat him and the drones he created. Throughout the film, it is also emphasised that the device that is keeping Tony alive is not sustainable as a result of increased blood toxicity. He does not tell his love interest Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) about his imminent death so she does not worry. However, a couple of Avengers find out and Tony creates a new more sustainable device to keep him alive.
