“Iron Man 2″ takes place “six months after Stark revealed his identity as Iron Man” at the end of the first movie.
According to a scooper at CinemaBlend, Tony Stark will team with Nicky Fury from the Avenger project and Shield to take on the terrorist known as The Mandarin. I did some looking and it appears this rumor might have started with an interview Jon Favreau did with EW where he mentioned mandarin, quote;
Demon in a Bottle is one of the very strongest story lines of the of the series, and Iron Man is not a comic book character who is known for having wonderful storylines. He’s known for having great suits, great characters, but the villains kind of get thin at times, and it’s so very dated when you look at Communism and the metaphor. Politically, much of it doesn’t hold up well. And the Mandarin is incredibly challenging in that respect. So we have challenges ahead of us. Demon in a Bottle tends to be one that, from a storytelling perspective, is compelling to all of us.

Scarlett Johansson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Garry Shandling, and John Slattery also star in Jon Favreau-directed sequel.
Reports say that Mickey Rourke would play a tattooed Russian heavy named Ivan who becomes a man with deadly, technologically enhanced coils. While another source adds that Rourke would play the Crimson Dynamo.
“He’s considered to be an evil version of Iron Man because he battles the superhero in a nuclear-powered suit of armor.”
Sam Rockwell would play Justin Hammer, a multibillionaire businessman and a rival of industrialist Tony Stark.

Rourke And Johansson Confirmed For Iron Man 2
After a lot of rumors and negotiations around upcoming “Iron Man 2,” it has now been confirmed that both Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johansson have officially committed to roles.
For months now, it has been debated as to whether or not Mickey Rourke was going to end up playing a villain in Iron Man 2. Now, Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood says that Rourke has signed a casting deal for the sequel.
For those coming in to the saga now, Rourke was originally confirmed to play a villain in the film, although reports disagreed as to whether he was playing Whiplash or the Crimson Dynamo. Then the word came out that Rourke was out, after Marvel made an insultingly low offer of $250K for his role in the film. Now it seems that Rourke’s agent managed to get the payday up to a more significant level.
Regarding Johannson, she has now officially replaced Emily Blunt as the Russian superspy Natasha Romanoff (aka Black Widow). But unlike Rourke, her deal turned out to be a terrible one.
One source said:
“It’s as bad as any deal that I’ve heard. It’s lowball money. And it ties her to countless movies, including that ensemble The Avengers, which is what makes this brutal for a lot of actors.”
Filming on “Iron Man 2″ starts in April, with a release date set for a May 7, 2010 release. The cast includes Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau, Sam Rockwell and Samuel L. Jackson.
