A new international poster for Jon Favreau's Iron Man 2 has just gone online.  The poster comes via Yahoo! Movies and features floating heads but Sam Rockwell isn't among them.  That's okay.  You know he's in the movie (as Justin Hammer, a rival weapons industrialist) and that he's going to be awesome.  Of course, that's no slam against the floating heads of Robert Downey Jr, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, and Gwyneth Paltrow or the tiny visage of Mickey Rourke as baddie Whiplash.  The film's got a good cast all around.

Hit the jump to check out the poster along with the official synopsis.  Click on the corresponding links to see the teaser poster, the international teaser poster, the Whiplash poster, and the character posters for Iron Man and War MachineIron Man 2 hits theaters on May 7th.

Here's the official plot synopsis for Iron Man 2:

Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment present the highly anticipated sequel to the blockbuster film based on the legendary Marvel Super Hero Iron Man, reuniting director Jon Favreau and Oscar® nominee Robert Downey Jr. In Iron Man 2, the world is aware that billionaire inventor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is the armored Super Hero Iron Man. Under pressure from the government, the press and the public to share his technology with the military, Tony is unwilling to divulge the secrets behind the Iron Man armor because he fears the information will slip into the wrong hands. With Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and James Rhodey Rhodes (Don Cheadle) at his side, Tony forges new alliances and confronts powerful new forces.
