Scott Johnson has created a new version of the now iconic “ground punch” pose first rendered by Adi Granov (the artist upon whose work much of the Iron Man movie armor was based on). The new artwork shows the movie armor drawn in comic book style and proportions. You can click on the image above for a larger comparison of the original artwork, the updated art using the movie armor and the actual armor all in the same pose. (The newest version is in the middle.)

There has been speculation whether the armor design in the comics will be redesigned to look more like the movie armor around the time the film is released. I don’t know if that will be the case, but now we can get a pretty good idea of what the movie armor would look like if it was used in the comic book. As expected, it looks much more form-fitting and more streamlined than the actual armor.
I think it looks pretty cool, how about you?

It would be more logical if the movie version is shown in the comics as a precursor to the pre-Extremis and current Extremis armors.. perhaps in a backstory to re-introduce Iron Monger into the current Iron Man storyline
It would certainly fit in there. The movie armor is not nearly as powerful as the Extremis armor, and Warren Ellis certainly dialed down the capabilities of the pre-Extremis armor in the early issues of his Iron Man re-launch.

Agreed. Also read Mandarin is trying to use the Extremis formula to control his rings. Interesting thought he already had vast control over them already. Should be interesting.
P.S.
That rendering is fantastic and hope that Jon Fav uses the Extremis formula in the third film.
Oh man… I hadn’t thought of that idea! That would be quite the evolution of the character on-screen.

Actually, the version in the middle is mostly my artwork, based off of Adi’s armor designs.

Scott,
I’ve sent you an email concerning assigning credit for the artwork.
Nice to have you here!
Vic
to mr scott,i’m really happy that the final choice of armor chosen for the movie was based off your artwork.reason,well conceptually speaking imho,it makes the armour much more believable to be included in the movie n the whole streamlined aspect of it makes it look very stealth like,which rocks imo;p
