Justin Theroux: Identity Crisis for "Iron Man 2"

Tony Stark suffering from identity issues? You know, I kind of wondered about that when his identity was revealed at the end of "Iron Man." Apparently, that will be a major plotpoint in "Iron Man 2."

While working on the script for the sequel, screenwriter Justin Theroux told MTV.com that the main theme of "Iron Man 2" will indeed be the issue of identity.

"It’s something that we’ve made a real decision to run towards rather than away from," said Theroux. I wonder what that means exactly…that maybe Tony isn’t sure about this whole Iron Man thing and wants out…?

"Iron Man 2" is scheduled for a May 7, 2010 release date, with Robert Downey Jr. once again playing the title role.
