Iron Man 2 Update: Two New Posters and New Promo Clip!

One week to go before Iron Man 2! That's exciting news already if I do say so myself! However, Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures aren't letting the updates die down anytime soon, as they've released new promotional material to keep the hungry fans like myself drooling even more!



Now THIS was the poster I was expecting and waiting for since I saw the second trailer! Movie fansites Superherohype and Marvelousnews just got the exclusive new look at the latest Iron Man 2 poster, featuring the Mark V "Suitcase" Suit in all its wacky techno glory! Arguably this is the fan favorite suit coming into the movie, and I don't blame anyone who likes it! It's sleek, sexy, and unique, and pays tribute to the comics by honoring Tony's suitcase armor and the Silver Centurion armor with its color scheme. You can notice a bit of battle damage on the IMAX promoting poster, but still... Awesome is the word.



Next up, we have another new IM2 villain poster from Marvelousnews, with none other than Ivan "Whiplash" Vanko in it! Here we see the Russian genius standing silently and contemplatively, armed with his energy whips and primed to get revenge on Tony Stark! I gotta say, Mickey Rourke has truly come back to the spotlight playing this character, and he looks as menacing as ever!

Finally, a new clip from the movie has surfaced on MSN, featuring Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, Justin Hammer, and the Vanity Fair reporter Christine Everhart in it! You can check it out via the link here! Watch out for spoilers!

Iron Man 2 comes soaring into theaters in April 30! Be ready to suit up!

Say Hello To Whiplash...

Mickey Rourke is back in his A-Game, and this time, he's wielding some deadly energy whips.



Premiering at Apple, Superherohype, and Marvel.com, Rourke takes center stage as Iron Man's new nemesis, Whiplash, in this awesome one sheet poster of Iron Man 2. Whippy just looks dead serious here, and how Tony Stark's gonna deal with him is something we'll all have to see when the movie comes out.

Expect the armor and the whip to clash in May, 2010!

Iron Man 2 Update: Here Comes Whiplash!

This isn't much of a movie update, but it is Iron Man 2 related, so here we go with the new stuff Marvel is cooking up!
The old school Whiplash... back then, he was just a man in tights and a cape looking for fame and fortune as a criminal.
Whiplash... he wasn't much of an armored fellow now, was he? Don't let the outfit fool you though, this guy was still a devious pain in the arse for Tony Stark's alter ego, The Invincible Iron Man. Pursuits for luxury and fortune caused the man known as Mark Scarlotti to settle for the criminal life. Instead of being an armored clad enemy like Titanium Man or a magic oriented baddie like the Mandarin, he designed sophisticated metal whips and wore a costume to serve a criminal organization known only as The Maggia, taking up the identity "Whiplash". On his first adventure as a supervillain, he came to blows with Iron Man, but only settled things in a draw during their first fight. Subsequent battles had him paired with other known IM foes such as Blizzard and Boomerang, and at one point he came under the employ of Justin Hammer to don the new identity of "Blacklash". However, Scarlotti always came up short in the end, eventually falling to the might of ol' shellhead.

Mickey Rourke as the menacing Whiplash!
Next year in Iron Man 2, veteran actor Mickey Rourke will be taking up the role of one of Iron Man's well known rogues. Hearing the news before kinda felt awkward though. I always felt the guy was better suited to play Crimson Dynamo, and that would've been a perfect fit too considering the need for another Iron Man baddie that could whoop ass in another "armor vs armor" battle royal. Yet, after seeing these awesome production pics and trailer footage shown at this year's SDCC, I gotta say, I'm impressed. Mickey Rourke looks real badass with those whips, and with Iron Man still an up and coming superhero, he looks like he could give Stark a heck of a challenge. To top it off, Whiplash is using the same Arc Reactor technology and chest piece that keeps Tony alive and powers his suit... interesting.

In related news, Marvel.com just posted a article announcing a new IM title for one of their November releases - Iron Man vs Whiplash! It's going to be written by Brannon Bragga and Marc Guggenheim, with pencils done by Phil Briones. Not only is the book primed to reintroduce the character to new audiences, it has him sporting a new look too. Taking a cue from the movie, Whiplash will also power his whips via a chest piece, and he has a faceplate mask that conceals his identity. With a complete makeover like that, fans will have all the more reason to look forward to Iron Man 2 now. Can't wait for it!
