Iron Man grey suit photo online!
Iron Man grey armour is shown here. Not too bad looking. The eyes seem a bit larger than usual. The shoulder pauldrons resemble the recent animated movie's grey armour. The mismatched pieces on the chestplate looks like it's really cobbled together quickly during Tony's incarceration.
Thoughts?

Not bad honestly. I like the fact it's streamlined, but maintain a very bare look. It's one of the things I enjoyed of the original armor...it wasn't this ultra sleek skin tight suit, it was ARMOR.

This is looking good.
I'm somewhat excited over this movie, since they're actually assembling a credible cast of actors, and from what I've heard they want to make this a serious adventure movie with a sense of verisimilitude (like Batman Begins). I'm hoping this could be be the film that turns Marvel movies around, after a string of flops and forgettable or dumbed down movies like Elektra, Blade Trinity, Fantastic Four, and X3 (which was an entertaining movie IMO, but lacked in the writing and really screwed Cyclops).

Yeah it looks very well done. Which time-frame for the origin are they using? I doubt they're using the 60's one, but I was afraid that with a more "modern" setting the first armor made in Stark's captivity would be too high-tech and covered in LED's and the like for a suit thrown together in a metalshop.Ghost Rider wrote:Not bad honestly.

Do we know who the villiain is yet? The origin stories seem to always alternate between The Mandarin and Dr. Doom. Dr. Doom would be easier for a movie plot IMO but since the Fantastic Four movie used Dr. Doom already (and wanked him out power-wise as well as dumbed him down evil genius-wise), I don't know how they would handle it for Iron Man. I wonder how much of a priority continuity between franchises is over at Marvel Films.

The villains will be Mandarin and Obadiah Stane. Stane has already been cast, although I don't know who's playing Mandarin. I've heard that they're going to come up with a less-outlandish origin for Mandarin's rings though.

Sweet. Mandarin's rings have had a few weird origins of their own. The most movie-compatible is just alien technology found in a spaceship that crashed on Earth a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago. With the Venom Symbiote retaining it's outer space origin in Spider-Man 3, Mandarin's rings aren't that big of a stretch.

Perfect. It looks like it was cobbled together in secret, the way it should look. Between that and the cast, this is starting to look like it could be a really good movie.
As far as I know, that's the official comic continuity anyways. He found the rings in the wreck of a Makluan (Fin Fang Foom's race) spaceship.BrandonMustang wrote:Sweet.

What'd be better is if this Iron Man was set in a retro-futuristic world, sorta like Sky Captain.

I don't know of any sort of retro-futurism that was ever prevented for the character, anyway, so such a proposal to me seems to be a bit random and just for the sake of it...

Looks pretty damn awsome. I've only been a quasi fan of IronMan as a characyer, but I always loved the different armors. I hope the incorporate a few different styles whithout making it into a 2 hour Iron fashion show. And lets hope they keep the armour believably state-of-the art. Just remember, when IronMan first came out he had intergrated cuircits amd micro-transistors, which where brand spanking nrw in the 60's.

This works for me. It is sufficiently high-tech looking that I can believe that a super genius build it, and sufficiently "clunky" that it was build in difficult circumstances. That and it retains a surprising amount of the original comic book armor.
Now the REAL kicker is going to be how they do the high-tech armor, although this gives me a good feeling about the whole deal. The designers appear to know what they are doing.

Yeah, but that armor there BEGS to just fight crazy flying saucers and shiny robots armed with heat rays that go "weeeew-weeeooooww!"Spanky The Dolphin wrote: I don't know, Iron Man has always been a superhero that I thought worked best in a perfectly "modern" setting.

Set that Iron Man in the 50s, and have him challenge "futuristic" (for the 50s, at least) baddies, and viola! It'd be like those oldschool comic books! The ones where mad scientists actually bothered to use shrink rays and such.

I am quite excited at the prospect of Iron Man getting back to his roots. Nothing is quite like the original premise of Iron Man as a thinly veiled allegory for American's technological superiority over the Reds. He should totally be kicking communist ass in the 60's.

Oddly enough, in his second issue Iron Man is seen briefly fighting a guy with a shrink ray. He electronically jams it using his suit. Also, Iron Man fights Gargantus, a robot replica of a giant monster caveman. Gargantus was created by aliens in an attempt to take over the world.

Okay, but that seems to be different compared to what Shroom is suggesting, which sounds like basing the idea of a retro-future setting solely from the simplistic and crude appearance of the original grey suit.

Ghetto Edit: The problem I have with that is that it sounds to me like, "hey, let's take Iron Man and totally do a movie that has nothing to do with Iron Man."

Anybody notice that the eyes on the suit aren't perfectly symmetrical?

Heh, well, I'm not really a big comic book buff anyway. But hey, if it's good, I'll like it. Giant robots with shrink rays that go "wooeeewwww-wooeeeeeoowww!" and flying saucers and other retro-futuristic crap would be way better than the Fantastic Four movie, anyway.
