Robert Downey Jr. trains with a coach on the set of Iron Man 2 in Los Angeles, California on May 19, 2009. The actor is seen sporting a pretty serious black eye on his left side. Did he injure himself while training? Or is it makeup for his character, Tony Stark?

Robert Downey Jr. is preparing to pile on the pounds for his role in Iron Man 2.

The actor, 44, had to slim down to play lean detective Sherlock Holmes in Guy Ritchie’s movie — but now he has to put on weight and muscle to be a believable Tony Stark again.

He says, “I’ve got to not be the skinny Brit anymore.

“I’ve got to get back to the Tony that everyone knew and may have loved. I’ve got to pump it up a little. Just for now, I am back on the steak diet.”

Iron Man II — which also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson — is due to hit theaters in May 2010.

Iron Man is rocketing back into action on Monday, and Robert Downey Jr. is already sizing up his new nemesis: Mickey Rourke.

“Hell yeah, I’ve been ready for him!” Downey tells E!’s Daily 10, insisting that all the drama with The Wrestler star will be onscreen.

“We’re not going to fight. We have to make a movie! Nobody fights in Hollywood.”

Downey, who reports that Scarlett Johansson has gotten buff to play Black Widow, also says he’s sorry to see former costar Terrence Howard go, even though he can’t wait to act opposite Howard’s replacement, Don Cheadle.

“The weird thing is it’s hard to discuss it without being disrespectful to both of them,” says Downey. “Terrence knows how much I love him, and I’m looking forward to making it work with Don.”

Iron Man 2 , also costarring Gwyneth Paltrow and directed by Jon Favreau, is slated for release on May 7, 2010.
