This is very cool and like Vic, I’m an Iron Man freak! So much so, I have ol’ Shellhead tattooed on my right forearm. I was even featured in Entertainment Weekly a few weeks back, as their “obsessive fan of the week,” because of my love for Iron Man!
Anyway, this is a very cool poster, another teaser, that’s tantalizing to look at. I’m looking forward to the full blown poster, likely next spring, which will likely feature the cast and perhaps all three of the armors! Keep in mind, we’ve seen the Mark I–grey clunker–and Mark III–the modern version, partially seen in this poster. I’m guessing that the Mark II may be a prototype, maybe something that isn’t painted and looks halfway there. Or, maybe we’ll see the classic armor.

One more thought before I go, I feel like showcasing Iron Man’s helmet in the poster will create a new iconic film image, much like the Spider-Man, Superman and heck, even the Jurassic Park posters. Though I have to say, the helmet at the official movie site looks much cooler
Iron Man opens May 2, 2008. I’ll be first in line to see it!
Hat tip to the vacationing Vic! Bigger version at Superhero Hype!

Actually, if you take a closer look at the trailer there IS a third suit there…right before you get your first glimpse of the Mark III armor. There’s a brief shot of a grey suit that is definitely not the same as the “clunky” suit seen earlier in the trailer.
MrMAB,
You gave me an excuse to go through it again!

This post needs to be locked and given an R rating.
That’s just pure PORNOGRAPHY right there!
Oh, and does anyone know if there is a larger version of the image kicking around anywhere?
I linked to the Superhero Hype! version, which is larger!

…so you did…I…uhhh…yeah. Sorry about that mate, I was kinda taken aback by the picture and I guess I didn’t read it properly.
Hirogen,
Who wasn’t?!

As much as I’d love to see the Classic IM armor,I doubt that it’ll be in the movie at all. It’s so much more technological and streamline than the MK 3 movie armor and the current comix armor,if it were the MK 2 then why would Tony even bother with a MK 3? It would seem like Tony forgot how to make a good suit of armor,IMHO. And who’s to say that the red and gold suit we’ve been seeing isn’t the MK 2 armor? That’d be cool if it was,then I’d be more willing to accept Tony building the classic armor as the MK 3. Still,this poster is uber-cool,I love how shiny the helmet is!
It’s been widely acknowledged by the creators of the film that the armor we see flying in the trailer is indeed the Mk. 3. And besides, why take a step backwards if the modern day armor is Mk. 2 and the classic armor is Mk. 3?
heath
What do you mean “a step backwards”? Do you mean the Classic is a step backwards? The Classic armor clearly isn’t a step backwards,in fact,it’s quite the oposite. More like 5 steps forward than the current. But,I’m not sure what you’re talking about…….
I like the current armor, but the classic is 20 years old now. My choice for Mark II would be the issue 231 armor.
heath
20 years old,and still more technologically advanced (but not as realistic) than the current. That’s a big reason why they went with an armor closer to the current than the classic for the movie,because the current IM suit in the comix is more credible.
I’d say it’s because it’s what’s in the comics, it’s been branded. They re-designed it slightly.
heath
I like it it’s shiny and prety you could loose your self into the ditails. (just kidding)
Every thing pointing at these movie looks awesome first the cast & crew then the trailer now the poster I think these cold be the next Spiderman killer. (I never liked Spiderman anyway, no ofense to the SM fans Iam more of an X-MEN fan)
Nice poster.
MrMab, the armor you’re referring to in the trailer is the Iron Monger armor.
Vic
Vic is correct - that is Obidiah Stane’s suit (Iron Monger) that he creates
(if you go frame by frame, you can see Bridges with the helmet OFF on the rooftop, turning quickly away from the camera and firing a missle).
I am going to take a wild guess and figure Stane possibly steals Stark’s early designs (maybe for the Mk II armor to construct his own… but has to go up against Stark in the Mk III armor.
