First, Favreau on how he plans to make the sequel bigger and better.
"Let me start by saying that everything did start here two years ago, and from the standpoint of marketing, everybody knows about our movie, but what we wanted to do was make sure that we hustled and got something together as a thank you to all of you and you're the people we wanted to show this stuff to first, so thank you so much for all your support. We just wrapped production literally last week. We had a few days off and came out here and scrambled to get this stuff over here and the people at ILM and Double Negative really pulled it off to put this together with the FX."
"As far as how we outdo it. We wanted to add characters, but not too many. We wanted to maintain the same tone and dynamic between the characters that you love while adding people that would further move us towards the eventual 'Avengers' film."
Downey on what's it like playing Tony Stark a second time around:
"I never had it so good. It's such a great role and it was born out of this opportunity that Feige and Favreau gave me a couple years back. As we move forward, I'm just thrilled to be sitting next to the likes of the talent to my left and if anything, the fact that we nailed it the first time, it really proved to us that other people were interested in coming on board, so that's the real win for me is these folks."
Cheadle on joining the franchise for the second movie:
"It's been a very interesting experience. I've never worked on a movie with this kind of scope and these kinds of FX and I didn't really know what to expect, so I really heavily relied on Robert and Kevin and Jon to help me figure out the right tone and how to play this guy. I was very nervous for the whole shoot, but they gave me really good guidance." He called wearing the War Machine outfit "heaven." (Downey joked that he couldn't believe Cheadle's rig is cooler than his rig, to which Cheadle joked back that it was "a contractual thing.")
