Wow now that was a really nice trailer. One of my favorite parts had to be the whole bit about being feared or respected that ends with him naming the weapon just as the bomb hits behind him. That and the very last snippet at the end where he shoots the tank.

Word of mouth on the advance test screenings has been really good... even sans finished FX.

I like Pepper Potts  :wub:


by the way, there is a few neat photos on imdb showing Tony (Downey) working on the armor.

Also, in the cast is Sam L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Jeff Bridges as Obidiah Stane/Iron Monger and Terrence Howard as Jim Rhodes/War Machine.

Robert Downey Jr is also listed to play Tony Stark in the new Incredible Hulk movie!

Stan Lee is also scheduled to appear in a few more Marvel movies coming soon, X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2008), Thor (2009), Silver Surfer (2009), Spider-Man 4 (2009) and Nick Fury (2010)!

Myself, I am exited to see that they are FINALLY crossing some characters over into other films, expanding the Marvel Movie universe to be a shared space.

I think Marvel always had wanted to do this, but prior films were all produced at different studios, and there was no way one studio was gonna advertise characters from another studios film. A few years ago when Marvel officially started producing their own films, it made this kind of crossover possible...

I just hope they don't start doing crossover events in films like they did in comics in the 90's...
You'll need to go to 6 different theaters to see 6 different versions of the opening credits...

Spider-Man 4 for 2009? seems a bit early, don't you think? Where did you hear that tentative year? Usually any kind of news on Spidey movies hits the web pretty fast.

I just looked it up and saw both 2009 and 2010 mentioned.

Figure Fan

Good gravy, can't they just wait a decade or two to do another Spidey film?? I don't think people can take another SM3 this decade..

Iron Man really does have me excited. I've never been a big fan of Iron Man, but Downey really gives him character, and I like it.

i agree.  i have always been a bit on the "blah" side about Iron Man but I am liking Downey in this role.

since tony stark is in the upcoming hulk movie,will we see an appearance from ironman or maybe his hulkbuster armor?

I'll share that sentiment.  Downey was superb in Chaplin and (in the supporting role of Lord Rivers) in the incomparable Ian McKellen version of Richard III, so it would probably take a Downey to get me interested in Tony Stark, much less an Iron Man movie.  I will definitely make an effort to see this film in the theatre before it arrives on DVD. :)

yeah, when he is clean and sober, Downey is really a very good and often underrated actor.

When I saw the trailer few weeks ago, it occurred to me that they picked the right actor to portray Stark, given that the movie apparently doesn't ignore his personal demons.

Ajax

I still say Ed Quinn, who plays Nathan Stark on Eureka, would have been the absolute best pick for Iron Man, but Robert Downey Jr. is still a good casting call.

Gremlin

I was under the impression he was actually picked because of his personal battle with alcoholism?  They thought it would make for a more realistic portrayal?

Early review is up. Spoilers maybe?

Xorn

Review sounds like it will be great! All intro to comic movies tend to gloss over the darkside of the character... the 2, 3, and team-up movies that follow will likely flesh it out better...

BentonGrey

Man, I am so ridiculously excited about this movie that its not even funny!

Uncle Yuan

This will be a very cool movie.  It very well could be the emotional heir to Spidies 1&2, not to mention recapturing that whole "gee whiz" aspect.

Sooooooo excited for this movie. I tend to be VERY picky with superhero movies, and this looks very promising.

Only thing I'm somewhat annoyed with is Samuel L Jackson as Fury. I mean, he's perfect to play ultimate Nick, seeing as they pretty much based him off of Jackson, but I am not a fan at all of the ultimate Nick Fury. Part of me really wishes they'd have gone with 616. Then again, most of it depends on how he actually acts in the movie, so I'm more than willing to give it a chance.

It's pretty obvious to me that he'll act like...Samuel L. Jackson.


Just like every other movie he's made.

Fixed. He doesn't always act the same...just usually. :P

Silver Shocker

Are they going to have to push the rating up on this movie so they can have Samuel L. swear more?  :P

I'm not an Iron Man fan, but I still think this looks SO cool. It's amazing how well the Adi Granov armor has transitioned to the silver screen.
