Garry Shandling has joined the cast of Iron Man 2, according to IESB. Someone should probably tell them it’s called April Fool’s Day, not April Fool’s Month.
But they’re not kidding around. If you’ve been following director Jon Favreau’s Twitter then you know Iron Man 2 started principal photography today. When they started shooting, IESB says Garry Shandling was there on set participating in what will be the last scene of the film.
As for who he’s playing, while it’d be great if Tony Stark went on the Larry Sanders show or something, probably Garry is playing a senator or reporter. Pick a random profession which requires the wearing of a suit. Maybe he’s filling in for Tim Robbins, who put to rest all those rumors that he’d be in it last week.
Garry’s last film role was as the voice of a pessimistic turtle in Over the Hedge. Don’t laugh, he was good.
