Iron Man Movie, First Poster
July 30, 2006
The first Iron Man movie poster was released last week. I was a bit disappointed that it is an illustration and not an actual image of what Iron Man looks like in the film.
According to IMDB, the basic plot of this film will be: “When troubled billionaire Tony Stark creates a life support suit to assist him after a life threatening accident, he ultimately decides to use its technology to fight evil and crime.” Nothing too surprising there for Iron Man fans.
Adding to my concern about the film is the decision to put Jon Favreau at the helm of one of Marvel’s biggest character properties. Favreau is far better known for his small acting roles in movies such as Wimbledon, Daredevil, and Dogtown, and appearances on TV shows such as Monk, My Name is Earl, The King of Queens, Friends, Seinfeld, and more. His directorial experience is limited to Elf, Made, and Zathura. Not exactly a list to be excited about when it comes time to create a blockbuster.
The villain they have chosen for the film is Mandarin. This is a classic Iron Man character, but not someone I’m particularly excited about. Here’s hoping it all turns out OK…
