September 11, 2007 | 5 Comments
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!
Iron Man Movie Title
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.
