New 'Iron Man 2' Photos Have Everyone Thinking
Filed under: Action, Paramount, Fandom, Movie Marketing, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels, Images
On the heels of the first Iron Man 2 poster come a few official stills straight from Paramount. Everyone looks very serious. Whiplash is seriously working on something, surrounded by pictures of Tony Stark to keep his hate burning and his ethic cheerful. Black Widow is seriously up to no good, even if she looks slinky doing it. Even Tony isn't taking things lightly -- not the destruction to his house, and not whatever he's brewing in his latest science project.
There's nothing really new on display here -- the Black Widow photo has been around in varying degrees of resolution since before San Diego Comic Con -- but it's just nice to see the characters out and about, isn't it? If you're given to intense plot speculation, you can all give your take on just what Tony and Whiplash have brewing, and just who caused Tony's marble floor to shatter into a dozen pieces. Did he fly through the ceiling again? Is he building an access portal so that it doesn't ever happen again? Or did some nefarious individual blast a hole into his luxurious tile, hoping to get into his secret lair of Iron Man suits?
We'll know on May 7th, 2010. Until then, just spin your own stories, and delight in a peek at the finished product. The first stills from a film always remind me of the good old days of Disney Adventures when this is all you'd have to go on until summer rolled around.

Still not convinced Scarlett is the right casting move. But I am so looking forward to this movie.

Oh man. I live in terror of hearing her Russian accent. I love the Black Widow character, especially in Richard Morgan's much-underappreciated comic arc. I was so sad when Scarlett got cast. She's just... too sweet? Too girly? I can't picture her kicking ass and making me _believe_ she's kicking ass.

I'm waiting to be sold on the casting too. When we talked to her at ComicCon, she was very enthusiastic, which made me thaw out a bit.
I believe she said then that she wasn't using an accent, because they felt she couldn't really go undercover if she had a thick accent. I'm disappointed but Natasha's accent does seem to come and go in the comics, so it's certainly not a character requirement... :/ Still, I always expected Natasha to have one on film!

Looks like there's something buried in that hole. Maybe Stark dug it up himself?

I have to admit the pictures got me thinking too. There isn't a single picture of Sam Rockwell. It's got me thinking that maybe Favreau is trying to downplay the importance of Justin Hammer in hopes of actually surprising us a little bit after the lame villain in the first movie. Cool pictures though, really excited for this sequel.
