The L.A. Times reports that DJ AM’s cameo in Iron Man 2 will remain in the film. The DJ passed away last summer from an accidental drug overdose. According to director Jon Favreau:

“We tried to make it respectful, and for people who know him, they’ll get a kick out of it and for people who don’t, it will sort of slide by without much notice,” Favreau said.

In the scene, AM spins 2Pac’s “California Love” at the request of the film’s protagonist, Tony Stark. Iron Man comes to theaters May 7th.
