Iron Man 2 Leslie Bibb is back

[Retroman]

Stumbled on this interview (dating from last month) where Leslie Bibb reveals that her character from the first film will be returning.


From New York Post POPWRAP:

PW: Do you tackle everything with that kind of intense dedication?
Leslie: Yeah, for example, my friend was talking about this amazing ice cream maker that he has and I was up all night surfing for it on the Internet. But then I realized I couldn't buy it until I finished shooting "Iron Man" because I'd be too fat for my costumes.

PW: Ah, so Christine Everhart will be back in the sequel?
Leslie: Yes, she will! I don't know if I'm supposed to say that though...

PW: Did you have anything to do with Sam signing on for the sequel [he plays Justin Hammer]?
Leslie: Yes, Sam owes me 5 percent, I'm his agent now! [laughs] No, Sam was in the mix to play Tony Stark in the original, he was on the short list and he's known [director Jon] Favreau for a while. But Sam's amazing, he doesn't need any help from me to get jobs.

PW: Do you guys share any scenes?
Leslie: I can't tell you that! Do you want me to get killed? You don't understand, Marvel's got a gun to my head right now!

PW: It's like a underground club you're a part of.
Leslie: It's cuckoo.

PW: It's like you're back in "The Skulls!"
Leslie: [laughs] I am back in "The Skulls!" But lemme tell you something, I love that Gwyneth Paltrow. She's another one, we were talking about how much people loved us fighting in the original and I thought it would be terrible if we deprived fans of that in the sequel.

PW: You made good foils.
Leslie: There is something delicious about Pepper and Christine circling each other. It's funny, because now the shine is off, but I remember the first time I saw her, I felt like Brooke McQueen all over again. I mean, it's f***ing Gwyneth Paltrow -- she's the prototype for Brooke. You should have heard my inner monologue that day.

PW: If we had, what would it have been?
Leslie: "Oh my god, look at how straight her teeth are! She's so pretty! She has freckles? I have freckles! Oh god, I want to touch her!" I had to literally do a "Moonstruck" and slap myself across the face, like, "Snap out of it!" [laughs]

PW: And now?
Leslie: Now it's like, "Hey Gwyn, let's talk about Kabbalah!" I still have a total girl crush though. That Gwyneth is a total winner, winner, chicken dinner.

PW: Ah, a Las Vegas lady!
Leslie: You know it's from Vegas! Oh man, I'm sure Gwyneth would think I'm nuts for saying that.

PW: Well, she doesn't eat chicken.
Leslie: [laughs] Of course, right, "I'm a vegan, I don't get that joke." OK, fine, you're a winner, winner tofu chicken dinner! Better?

"Confessions of a Shopaholic" is now on DVD.

[DocHoliday]

cool. With pepper as CEO I'm sure she'll be arguing with her about something.

 

[kedrell]

Nice to hear she's back, even though her character isn't an actual comic book character. She was hot in the first one.

 

[protocida]

Cool.

Wonder if Tony will get some again.

 

[Mr. Earle]

PW: Ah, so Christine Everhart will be back in the sequel?
Leslie: Yes, she will! I don't know if I'm supposed to say that though...

And yet you did...

 

[Aesop Rocks]

And nothing of value was gained.

 

[Son of Coul]

Cool, she was a pretty good character.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Cant see her having an extensive role as we already have plenty of characters, will be nice to see her back in a cameo sort of role though.

 

[Iron_Stark]

I still think she should've been Kathy Dare. Except for the shooting of course.

It would've gone great with the racing scene in part 2.

 

[Mr. Earle]

So i guess Stark will be busy again....

 

[Doctor Jones]

I bet she'll show up at the senate scene. Maybe argue with Potts about getting into the industries.

 

[Panthro]

Hope we see her hit the sheets again.

 

[kedrell]

Yeah, booty call!

 

[FaT_tONle]

Cant see her having an extensive role as we already have plenty of characters, will be nice to see her back in a cameo sort of role though.

Yeah I am thinking two scenes max... another Banks/Brant on our hands.

 

[Carlo Comicus]

Probably we see her at the beginning.

 

[Spiderine]

Sounds minor.

 

[Immortalfire]

Cool! Loved her chat with Pepper in the first

 

[Raiden]

Nice to see Leslie's back...she's a hottie. So, she's dating Sam Rockwell?

Also,

Is that Rachel McAdams posing with Paltrow?

That's Leslie Bibb.

 

[RonStoppablefan]

I'm sure shey'll be giving interviews on Iron Man events in the film. Maybe blackmail Tony if she finds some thing on him, it'd give her some sort of a storyline any ways.

 

[Rac]

Nice. I liked her in the first one.

 

[kedrell]

You know what? I just realized that Christine Everheart is actually an honest to God comic book character: http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix4/everhartchristine.htm

I always thought she was just an invention of the movie, but she's comics legit. And apparently, she's the most obsure character(in the comics) ever to actually make it to film.

 

[Spidey-Quad]

I've been schooled on a Sunday!

 

[powerbomb1411]

Wow, that was a nice bit of trivia.
