Iron Man Movie Trailer
// September 11th, 2007 // Fun Whatnot
The Iron Man trailer is out. You need to check it out! Below are my takeaways and highlights from the trailer. May 2nd, 2008 can’t come quick enough!

Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr) in Afghanistan, before he is captured

The first Iron Man suit breaking out of prison

Obadiah Stane (played by Jeff Bridges) with his Iron Monger suiit

Iron Monger – the main villain

Jim Rhodes (played by Terrence Howard), best friend to Tony Stark. In conventional Iron Man history, Rhodes eventually dons the Iron Man costume and persona for a time. Later Stark goes back to being Iron Man and Rhodes becomes War Machine.

Virginia “Pepper” Potts (played by Gwyneth Paltrow) is the prime love interest of Tony Stark. Much like Money Penny to James Bond, Potts is Stark’s executive secretary. In comic mythology, she eventually marries Stark’s close friend Happy Hogan.

Tony Stark clearly displaying the device embedded in his chest. They must be using some of the Ultimate story line with this device being something to keep him alive…

Finally, Iron Man in the modern suit in flight
Visually I think they have nailed this. Additionally, Downey Jr seems to be spot on with his Stark portrayal. This is very exciting.




I’m a DC guy, but this trailer left me (other than the “Iron Man” song clip) stunned and eager…
Very impressive…
I also felt the choice to use Ozzie’s Iron Man song was a bit cheesy. I assume (hope?) they will not choose to use this further in the film…
i loved the trailer and the iron man song by black sabbath.i cant wait until this movie come out.
I had the pleasure of seeing the advance screening in Toronto on Wednesday night. SUPERB film! Downey SMACKED the nail right o n the head!
I thought the Iron man movie was the best movie I’ve seen. I can’t wait till they make an iron man two.
