Iron Man Armor Revealed (not the tin version) [SPOILERS]

[Ranger REG]

Question is, how will he disappear?

Will it be like in the comic book, somehow frozen in ice ... somewhere? (Don't know exactly where he was presumed lost.)

Will it be like in X-Men: Evolution where he was cryogenically frozen because the lethal side effect of the untested experiment was deemed incurable in the 1940's?

I don't know how long this will stay up on YouTube, but here's footage from the movie shown at Comic Con. You get to see both armors in action (though the capture isn't great, it's still sweet!).

Heh, beat me to posting it.

Just looking better and better and I'm loving Downey as Stark.

It's possible to bring a modern Captain America story with today's political climate.

The film need to show his origin, a product of US-siezed Nazi German genetic engineering experiment. We needed to show his disappearance in the 40's, and later his re-emergence in 2000. There will be some cheesy comical moments as he tries to adapt to the new modern culture with all of the trappings ... so long the MP3 player is not an iPod.

Then we need to show that the Red Skull has ties to terrorist groups. Perhaps Osama is merely a pawn of the Red Skull's machination to put the world in peril and they rise above the battlefield to instill a new world order.

In other words, the director and actor just needs to read the current Ed Brubaker run.

Thanks for posting this. Been wanting to see this ever since I heard all the raves it's been getting.

The Mark 1 looks appropriate for something he built out of scrap. The Iron Monger looks menacing. While the classic red and gold looks sleek and impressive as hell onscreen.

Summer 08 can't come fast enough.

PS. Oh, and Gwyneth looks hot in that brief glimpse we see of her as Pepper.

I have a hard time imagining that Ghost Rider cleared but Cap didn't. It's a mad world, I guess.

Ghost Rider had an enthusiastic A-list actor behind it. Nick Cage is a comic book guy and wanted to play one for years. Thankfully the studios passed on his deciding to be Superman and Namor - Johnny Blaze struck me as a good fit.

Considering that I have not read a comic book for the past 10 years, I'll take your word for it.

Well if you ever want to read the best Captain America stories since Lee/Kirby, pick up the Winter Soldier trades. Flashbacks to WWII, guest appearances by Union Jack, Falcon and Iron Man, fighting the Red Skull and AIM.

Put simply, it's everything that's cool about Cap in 12 issues.
