In recent years, they’ve made movies of various Marvel Comics superheroes: Spider-Man, the X-Men, Daredevil, Elektra, the Incredible Hulk, Fantastic Four and Ghost Rider (am I missing any?). But there’s one who’s been waiting in the wings for some time: the superhero for hard-drinkin’ engineers, Iron Man!
Now he’s getting a movie, as this teaser poster indicates:
The movie’s director, Jon “Swingers” Favreau, has started a MySpace group in which fans can discuss the movie and tell him what they’d like to see. Personally, I’d like to see me as the bad guy: Iron Man’s arch-enemy, The Mandarin! Except instead of ten rings with ten powers:
…I’d just use ten accordion buttons.
Big thanks to RoninKengo for pointing out this poster!
I’m enjoying exotic-to-me American cuisine (being Asian, I had a mashed-potato-deprived childhood) at Christmas dinner…
As the lyrics say, all is supposed to be merry and bright during the holidays,…
It’s not just another Sunday, but the Sunday leading up to Christmas! It’s that time…
Here’s wishing Alex Bruesewitz a speedy recovery — yes, he’s behind a racist lie that endangers…
Since it’s Sunday, it’s time for me to post the memes, pictures, and cartoons floating…

Blade and Punisher, too.
If I recall correctly, Blade was the first decent superhero movie since Batman Returns.
Alright! Wonder how rich he will be this go round? And the whole weapons manufacturer angle, will that sit well in these days and times?
Thanks for the link Joey. You're "hard drinking" line just proves your Iron Fandom ;-) I'm just glad to see that Orson Scott Card is no longer associated to the project. I loved Ender's Game and all but Card would not have done old shell head justice. Marvel is tracking well in developing their properties to the big screen it seems one out of three movies turns out OK. Unfortunately that has more to do with technology lulling us into believing its good because the effects are so darn cool.
Hey if a Filipino guy can plan the "mandarin" do you think I have a shot at playing James Rupert Rhodes!? I got the first name part down pat! ;-)
Here is a list of a few more along with the ones you mentioned.
I'm looking forward to this one. Thanks for the nod Joey.
Here's a High Quality version of the poster in question...
