I like how the composition of this picture — with the disassembled suit pieces in the foreground — looks like Tony’s gotten pissed at his suits, taken a screwdriver to one of them, and is warning the others that they’re next…
This is of course our first glimpse at Iron Man 3, which is now rolling with Shane Black behind the camera and overseeing the first post-Avengers Marvel film. It looks… like an Iron Man set! Expect a ton of this kind of stuff- Marvel has a massive wave of public awareness to leverage, which demands that they fill that widened pipe of attention with stuff and stuff and stuff.
With Shane Black behind the camera (and the script to some degree), I’m really hoping for the first un-compromised Iron Man film- one not entirely depending on Downey’s grade-A mugging and fast talk. Granted, Black’s involvement really only promises the best fast talking of the franchise, but I’m hoping his creativity extends to the action and scope of the picture as well. It’s too soon to tell, but it’s what keeps my fingers crossed at night!

I wonder what the chances are of EVERYONE getting an Iron Man suit in Avengers 2, tailored to their specific abilities, weapons, etc.? It sounds like a retarded action figure line (I’m sure it’s been done already), but in a way, it would sort of make sense if we’re in for a big cosmic throwdown.
I was about to say that it’s kind of weird/funny that he’d rebuild the Mark II suit after Rhodey appropriated it to become War Machine, but then I recalled the Mark I suit sitting right beside it.
Something about the colors on the suits seems little more vivid than before. The Golds seem to be much more yellow, though maybe that’s just my screen or something. Wonder what direction they’ll go with the inevitable new suit(s)?
There was an issue of “What If?” where this more or less happened. http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/earthavarmor.htm
I havent read a lick of Ironman, so I am going to need someone to answer this for me… Are robots the only thing Ironman ever fights? I mean seriously every movie its more robots and more iron man suits. Its getting a little gay if you ask me and boring.
The vast majority of Iron Man’s villains are “tech/science-based” to one degree or another, as generally befits a tech-based hero. Though he’s only fought “robots” in one movie and so far there’s no signs of any in this one, though yes, we’re getting at least one more guy in a knock-off suit. It’s actually quite the recurring theme in the comics. Stark basically had a nervous breakdown about it later on in the comics and went on a rampage taking down anyone that he so much as suspected was using any “stolen” Stark technology…bad guy OR good guy. There are signs and rumors that that particular story arc (“Armor Wars”) may be one of the inspirations for Iron Man 3.
But generally it’s not what the villain “is” or what gives them their powers that makes them exciting, it’s the performance and the staging of the battles. That wasn’t Favreau’s strong point.
Nothing “gay” about it.
