When it comes to doing movie news, we here might only end up writing
about scary, action, or superhero flicks. Especially with news like
this!
Concept art was released to show off the new
suits of Iron Man/Tony Stark (played of course by Robert Downey Jr.) and
War Machine/James Rhodes (being played once again by Don Cheadle) which
we will see in the next third installment. Iron Man's suit, this time
around, is the Mark XLVII (how did he go from the Mark VII to the Mark
XLVII???? he's been busy!) and it will have more gold color this time
around. The suit is suppose to literally grow out of his skin, like in
the Extremis storyline (which the third film is closely following), so
that is pretty sweet! War Machine's suit is basically the Iron Patriot
suit (which was originally assumed to actually be a secondary villain in
this film, but was later proven false). Perhaps his suit is a hint to a
possible storyline involving Iron Patriot himself? Check out the art
below:
A
bit more "colorful" than expected right? While there is some pointless
fan backlash at these new looks, I personally and Honestly like the crap
out of these new looks! Iron Man's will easily look awesome, especially
if it does grow out of his skin, and to me it looks more like a suit
made of science if that's even possible. War Machine's suit definitely
went a strange route, and Director Shane Black is definitely making a
daring move, but it kinda makes sense for Rhodes to go with those
colors. James Rhodes does seem a bit more "patriotic" than that of Iron
Man (see what I did there?) and if there is to be an Iron Patriot
storyline in the future for Iron Man 4, 5, etc., where else is the suit
gonna come from? And who knows, maybe Rhodes is a die hard fan of
Captain America, so he painted his suit for inspiration? The reasoning
can go anywhere.
In other News
It's
obvious that out of all the superheroes in the Avengers film this year,
Hulk is the one that stole the show in the end. It would be pretty
stupid for Marvel not to make another Hulk film, who cares if the other
Hulk films underwhelmed at the box office? Avengers Hulk has everyone
basically re-convinced! Kevin Feige had this to say about another Hulk film: “Do I think Hulk can carry a movie and be as entertaining as he was in
‘Avengers’? I do believe that. I do believe he absolutely could. We
certainly are not even going to attempt that until ‘Avengers 2.’ So
there’s a lot of time to think about it.”
He also hinted at possible storylines that the film could use: “I don’t think there’s a lot that we couldn’t do someday, as the
cinematic universe continues to grow and expand and get as big as the
comic book universe. ”Planet Hulk’ is a cool story, ‘World War Hulk’ is a
cool story. I think there’s pitfalls of continuity-overload, and
mythology getting so dense that it almost collapses in on itself [with
those cosmic projects]. It happens every few decades or so in the
comics. Apart from that, I’d say everything is on the table.”
How
cool would it be to see a live-action Planet Hulk movie!? Or even World
War Hulk? It sucks that it won't be happening until after Avengers 2,
but hopefully Hulk will still make an appearance in Avengers 2 and as
long as they have Mark Ruffalo return I'll have no problem with their
plans.
To keep track: Iron Man 3 comes out in
May, and Thor: the Dark World in November 2013. Captain America: the
Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, an possibly Ant-man in 2014.
Then we have Avengers 2 coming in 2015, and we can all assume another
Hulk sometime afterwords...
