Official Iron Man 2 Poster (Featuring War Machine!) [Updated]

[Update: Get a look at the new international teaser poster HERE]

There is a new movie coming out next year, a sequel really, that many of you may not have heard of yet. It’s about this dude with a heart condition that builds this suit to help him right wrongs and fight evil. He owns a weapons manufacturing company, is a super-genius and has hot women fawning all over him – basically it’s my biography.

OK, fine, the movie is Iron Man 2 and it’s one of the most anticipated films of 2010. Long after the effects of New Moon have waned and Avatar has been released on Blu-ray, Iron Man 2 will swoop in and kick the summer movie season off with a big repulsor blast.

Every movie geek was screaming like a teenage girl at a midnight showing of Twilight when War Machine made his first appearance this year at Comic Con. Now, thanks to Yahoo! Movies, we have our first true image of War Machine, played by Don Cheadle, standing back-to-back with Iron Man in the first official poster released by Jon Favreau, Marvel Studios and Paramount.

Check it out:

Here is one more image from Toy Chest News that shows Cheadle in the War Machine armor. Sure it’s a bust shot and a marquette, but it shows good detail. It also shows us that we will get to see Cheadle’s face while in the armor, which would be consistent with the Iron Man armor models. The toy figure will not be available for sale until February 2010 but if you are into collecting movie figures, then it’s a steal at $19.99.

Don Cheadle War Machine Figure

Iron Man 2 is going to be a show-stopper next year. The film also stars Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer, Mickey Rourke as Whiplash, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, of course Don Cheadle as War Machine and Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts.

Update: Speaking of Black Widow and Whiplash, check out this new gallery of hi-res photos released by Paramount!

Iron Man 2 Workshop New Power source perhaps?

Iron Man 2 Tony w Jarvis “I can build complex machinery, but interior design? That’s hard…”

Iron Man 2 Black Widow A hi-res version of Scarlett as Black Widow. Not bad…

Iron Man 2 Whiplash armor “In Russia, you do not build armor – armor build YOU.”

What do you think about the first decent look at War Machine and the Iron Man 2 poster in general?

Side Note: Don’t forget about the new International Teaser Poster! See it HERE.

OK, fine, the movie is Iron Man 2 and it just might be one of the most anticipated films of 2010. Long after the affects of New Moon has set and Avatar has been released on Blu-ray, Iron Man 2 will swoop in and kick the summer movie season off with a big repulsor blast.

Iron Man 2 is going to be a show stopper next year. Unless Favreau kills off Tony Stark, makes War Machine a bi-sexual or something else completely off kilter, then I predict it will be a huge blockbuster. It’s safe to say that Iron Man helped to re-establish Robert Downy Jr. as a hot commodity in Hollywood with his performance as Tony Stark. Iron Man 2 also stars Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer, Mickey Rourke as Whiplash, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, of course Don Cheadle as War Machine and Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts.

Vic Holtreman

Oooooh, that War Machine armor looks SWEET.

Vic

M-Cat

M-Cat

Fenix

Scarlet Johansson is not inside the War Machine armor. just an fyi.

.c.h.r.i.s.

martin

hey vick you said sweet..i think that word is not enough to describe the poster..absolutely amazing

The Big Dentist

Get the fire hoses out, Stephie's gonna blow a gasket! (I know I just did...)

INK

Freakin' Sweet!

neontiger21

Awesome!!! I can't wait for this movie.
I have a question for those who have read the Iron Man comics. Is war machine an ally or villain to Iron Man? Please pardon my ignorance!

Fenix

oh shes not? My mistake I think shes got the swagger to pull it off..

Ken J

LOL

Yah, I saw this on superhero hype, pretty sweet!!!

And I can't find that Empire magazine anywhere, it's British right? I don't even know if I can order the issue since it's all in pounds on their website...

Will

Coolest poster ive seen in a long time. War machine is already stealing the show.

Ken J

Oh, I was laughing at Fenix thinking that Scalett was inside War Machine, haha. :-D

That would be kind of fun too. But no Fenix, even better than War Machine, you will see her in skin tight leather. :-P

M-Cat

neontiger21

War Machine starts out as a friend but it doesn't look like it will end that way. Supposedly, they may even be building him up for The Avengers but I'm not sure.

Fenix

Haha see Ken J is on my level!!

Harvey Dynamite

This poster is amazing.I will be definitely buying it

jwalka

looks pretty hardcore, i like how they put so much detial in the armors, its like the comics.

i hope the dop end up putting him into the avengers, even if it is a small role i still wouldnt mind seeing this kick ass armour in more than one movie ;-)

iwasherenotyou

So war machine is a badguy in this movie? Thought he was a good guy. 3 badguys? last time that happened it didn't work.

Max

EPIC. 159 days...

M-Cat

Iwasherenotyou

War Machine isn't supposed to be a bad guy in this movie, he's a friend of Starks so something could happen between them by the end of the movie setting it up for The Avengers.

M-Cat

I heard War Machine fights along side Iron Man in this movie but who really knows what will happen.

stpau1y

From all I have read, War Machine starts off as an Iron Man replacement, then reluctant ally/friend, then sort of villain, then leaves for a bit, comes back and they are friends

Ken J

That was the comic book's version I believe. But I think they will introduce the character a little differently in the movie...

Sam

The thing with war machine is that he's not tony. Tony is a happy go lucky guy and he wants to atone for his early life by doing good. WM is a government type and so they are friends but they have different backgrounds and differrent agendas. WM starts as his friend but they eventually have problems and go their seperate ways. IronMan is always the good guy and WM sometimes gets his wires crossed. I think for this movie that WM will be a good guy for basicly the whole movie but we will prob see some forshadowing of his split with Tony by the end of the movie. I'm way, way excited!!!!

Stephie

@The Big Dentist...

LMAO!

I didn't blow a gasket, but I have to tell you... that poster for IM2 is totally SWEET! IM and WarMachine? Oh, yeah... we're talking about some serious butt-kicking going on here.

Now... WHEN do we get to see the trailer for IM2? That's when I'll blow a gasket. ;)

Evan

Are his eyes red in the comics? I thought they were white like Iron Man's.

I think the red makes him look more "evil"

Manuscript6

just three letters
W-O-W

Ken J

I'm not planning on watching Sherlock Holmes at the theater, so hopefully the trailer is released online at the same time...

Comic origin of War Machine (as originally happened -- before any retcons)...

During the "Death of Tony Stark" saga, a Japanese manufacturer hires the Masters of Silence to assassinate Tony -- they were "mislead" into believing Tony built faulty coolant valves for their energy plant. When the Masters show up, they face an life model decoy variant of the Modular armor. Tony remotely piloted it from his deathbed as his nervous system is too weak to don an actual armor. The Masters destroy the LMD model easily.

Tony, needing to up the fire power builds the War Machine armor for one purpose, to mop the floor the Masters of Silence. Tony dons the armor, has a showdown with the MOS, during which Jim reveals they were setup by Justin Hammer. The Masters then team up with Tony -- in the War Machine armor -- and take hammer down.

Upon his "death" Tony bequeaths War Machine Mark II to Jim. With the world believing Tony is dead, he leaves it to Jim to protect Stark Enterprises from various bad guys and an international conglomerate of super bad execs (Roxxon, Hydra, etc) from taking over SE.

Tony, while never really dead, wakens from his cryogenic freezing, and reveals to Jim he wasn't dead. Jim promptly quits and keeps the War Machine armor. For the better part of two years, they are odds over Tony keeping his "death" a secret from Jim.

Then various reboots, retcons, Eidolon - something alien war machine - warwear and I learned to hate Marvel after they hired Terry Kavanaugh to replace Len Kaminski who was the greatest (apologies to Dave and Bob) Iron Man writer ever.
