Tim Robbins to star in 'Iron Man 2'?
Tim Robbins will play Tony Stark's father Howard in the Iron Man sequel, according to Latino Review.

The Shawshank Redemption star will reportedly appear in flashback sequences that tie in with forthcoming Marvel films The Avengers and Captain America.

In the comic books, Howard Stark is the founder of Stark Industries. After his death, his son Tony inherits the company before taking on the guise of Iron Man.

Director Jon Favreau and leading man Robert Downey Jr. will return for the sequel.
