A few weeks ago at San Diego Comic-Con, director Jon Favereu and cast gave fans a sneak peek at the very first footage from Iron Man 2, which doesn’t come out until May 7, 2010. Well lucky for us, some intrepid nerd with a camera recorded the 5-minute preview and leaked it to the internets this weekend. With some good ol’ snarky Stark-isms from Robert Downey Jr. and our first looks at Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Whiplash (Mickey Rourke), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell), and War Machine (Don Cheadle), it’s definitely worth putting up with the bootleg quality to watch.

In case you high-talied it out of the theater last Friday after watching Iron Man, you missed the introduction of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. You couldn’t ask for a better setup. Through the course of the film, a puny government agent gave clues to his parent company, Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division which actually stands for S.H.I.E.L.D.'the counter-terrorism group which Fury heads up. Only thing is, no one really picked up on that until he decided to shorten the long-form name to S.H.I.E.L.D.
As most comic fans would know, Nick Fury was drawn as Jackson for the Ultimates series, kind of like a remix of the Avengers. Now that Iron Man hit the big-screen, the sequel is set to follow their story, featuring of course, Nick Fury. Watch the teaser clip after the jump.
