Iron Man 3 armor!!! / another Hulk movie???

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...
