Here is a nice little present (that will no doubt screen with Avatar).  Looks quite good, with a rather huge money shot at the end.

Very much looking forward to this one.

That looks kick-ass. I bet this is better then the first, which is quite very rare for sequels.

It's kind of a disjointed trailer, but I think the movie's going to be really good.  I get kind of a Rocky IV feel when Tony is being a rock star and the Russian is toiling away to beat him.

Nice teaser. I'm already more excited for this movie more than I've been for any flick since The Dark Knight. Next May can't get here soon enough!

Would have been nice if Downey was playing Tony Stark instead of Robert Downey.

I second that. But apparently Favreu wanted Downey to play Downey.

here is some interesting news with regards to Iron Man 3

http://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00029965.html


Quote:
In a recent interview with MTV, War Machine co-creator Bob Layton has shared his thought on the possible storyline for "Iron Man 3".

"I think they've come up with a terrific segue to the third film, which I think is going to be fairly powerful," Layton said. "My understanding is that the third film could very well be the 'Demon in a Bottle' story mixed in there with everything and I'm kind of looking forward to that, if that's where they wind up going."

"Demon in a Bottle" is a nine-issue of Iron Man story which follows Tony Stark dealing with his alcohol addiction while trying to save his company and reputation from Justin Hammer. Written by David Michelinie and Bob Layton, this arc was first published in 1979.

During the chat, Layton also talked about "Iron Man 2", particularly on why Jim Rhodes should appear in "Iron Man 2" rather than in the next sequel. "I think there are a variety of reasons to have the War Machine character in there. If they're doing 'The Avengers' film, they always have the option of using War Machine instead of Iron Man depending upon what happens contractually. I'm just speculating, I have no idea... But there's always the possibility that if it does well, it can spinoff," he elaborated.

The character is the latest to appear in multiple Marvel productions as the comicbook company's film division preps for the eventual production of "The Avengers," which unites Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Captain America and Thor in one pic. Marvel has been keen on brokering deals with actors to make sure auds will recognize characters when they crossover and appear in its other films.

Gregg's Agent Coulson also will return in the upcoming "Iron Man 2."

Band to Release AC/DC: Iron Man 2 Album on Monday April 19, 2010

Los Angeles, CA. January 26, 2010 - Through a unique collaboration between Marvel Studios and Columbia Records, AC/DC's music will be featured in Marvel Studios' "IRON MAN 2," the sequel to the 2008 blockbuster film. In addition, Columbia Records will release the album AC/DC: Iron Man 2 on Monday, April 19, 2010. AC/DC: Iron Man 2, features 15 classic AC/DC songs selected from ten of the band's studio albums, ranging from 1976 to 2008. The complete track listing can be found below.

Pre-orders begin today, January 26th at Amazon.com for the deluxe version of AC/DC: Iron Man 2 - CD+DVD and two LP vinyl packages - and at Walmart.com for the AC/DC: Iron Man 2 CD. The film opens internationally beginning on April 28, 2010.

In the U.S., the film will be distributed by Paramount Pictures and is scheduled for release on May 7, 2010.

The debut video from AC/DC: Iron Man 2 is AC/DC's classic album cut "Shoot To Thrill," which was filmed live last month in Buenos Aires during the band's highly acclaimed Black Ice World Tour, the second highest grossing world tour of 2009 according to concert industry trade publication Pollstar. The video also incorporates exclusive footage from "IRON MAN 2" and debuts worldwide today. Check www.acdc.com and www.marvel.com for more information. "Shoot To Thrill" was originally recorded for the band's 50-million selling album Back In Black, one of the best selling albums of all time.

"Jon Favreau's vision and passion for AC/DC's music blend seamlessly into this incredible film" said Steve Barnett, co-chairman of Columbia Records. "The music really underscores the high energy and excitement of the film."

"Music is an integral part of the Tony Stark and Iron Man experience, and we are pleased that Columbia and AC/DC are taking part in the franchise's phenomenon. Through this relationship, the band is delivering fans supercharged Iron Man branded music through all our combined consumer touch points, from the movie to retail outlets and even virally with the debut of the new video," said Tim Connors, Chief Operating Officer, Marvel Studios.

Jon Favreau returns to direct "IRON MAN 2," with Robert Downey Jr. reprising his starring role as the larger-than-life leading character, along with Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke and Samuel L. Jackson.

Based on Marvel's iconic Super Hero, "IRON MAN 2" continues the story of 2008's box office smash hit "IRON MAN," which grossed nearly USD 600 million worldwide, and was the first feature film produced independently by Marvel Studios. "IRON MAN 2" is being produced by Marvel Studios' President, Kevin Feige.

This could actually be one of those rare breeds: a sequel better than the original.

The new trailer is great stuff.  The above notes "the rare sequel better then the original".. I'm hoping this is X2 to X-Men.  I liked X-Men, good flick, but X2 was great stuff.  I'm hoping for the same type of thing here.   The trailer really succeeds here in ramping up my interest.

It sure does look good, but trailers do not a movie make. You're being marketed. Only a butt in a seat at the theater will reveal the truth. Fingers crossed.

This is seen in the trailer, but I'll spoilerize for those who don't even go as far as trailers:

Probably probably need need some extra extra words words to defeat defeat the thread preview.  Safety dance, dance, dance, dance.

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Briefcase armor!  Not quite how it was in the comics, but maybe a little cooler.  It definitely makes more sense to a general audience than cloth-like material that becomes the Iron Man suit.

Unfortunately, the bit that you spoilered does ruin that tension point in the movie.

So once again, the headline is

 The thing that bugs me is that Stark's mission in the first movie was to use the reactor arc technology in the Iron Man suit to get his company's weapons out of bad guys' hands.  Now in this movie, there's someone else with the technology and weapon suits.  So Stark's legacy is that he's introduced yet another weapons system into the world to cause pain and suffering.  If they're setting him up to become a pessimistic drunk, okay, but I'll probably skip that movie.  I would much rather they let him be unique and optimistic, a singular force for good.

It's sort of like Spider-Man finally gets things straightened out with Mary Jane, she's cool with him being Spidey... and in the next movie she does a 180, is resentful of Spidey, and everything's all convenient conflict and tension.  Same thing in the Zorro sequel.  

I think these screenwriters are trying so hard to bring in conflict so their characters can grow/change that they don't see what they're growing/changing into -- a bunch of drags who aren't fun to watch.  If you can't have fun watching someone run around in a silly costume, I mean, what's the point?

Its baffles to me as to why they would put that breifcase spot in the trailer.

That would have been a nice suprise.

 Jon, I imagine there's a certain level of "we have to prove that there's something new and cool" in this movie at the studio to assure a big run at the theaters.  Obviously they don't care much about spoilers -- except when they can market the hype around having a secret twist...

I havent read Iron Man in forever, but Im guessing the suitcase thing isnt something he still does, is it?

If not, its kind of a nice nod to older fans - I would have liked to have suprised with that.
