Monger Mongers In These New IRON MAN Photos!!
Merrick here...
Yahoo has posted several new images from IRON MAN, giving us some nice glimpses of Iron Monger's bad assness (and suggesting an answer to the gridlock I'm stuck in every morning).

This is going to Rock! Second suckers!

Looks cool
-
Booyah!
-
what?
-
I confess, I can't wait for this one. Opening day, baby!
-
>:(
Yes, I won't stop for a while. Got no idea how any intelligent person can hate cats that much. Even the guy in Team America, who got raped by the Cats ensemble just hated actors after that! -
Panaka had more protection because he wore an eye patch.
-
...what's up with the situation regarding the final cut of The Incredible Hulk? Has Norton and Marvel came to an agreement yet?
-
Anyone out there think Obadiah's gonna repulse his head off in this like in the book? Probably not. Looks good.
-
And I'm not a big Marvel guy and have never read an Iron Man book.
-
Merrick thinks you're a virus!
-
Seriously. Is a person supposed to be in there? Kind of a dumb name - hopefully no-one actually utters it in the movie
-
It's be really cool if Monger shot cats out of that chest light. Looks like a kitty cannon if I ever saw one.
-
Not super excited about a big robot as the villain fighting a man inside a super suit. Robocop with a goatee? However, this movie is going to rock bc Downey is awesome. Its too bad he couldn't use his Tropic Thunder stuff to play Stark AND Rhodes! lol
-
The 2 summer flicks I'm most excited about.
-
as the CGI is looking very fuckin shitty...i mean, if you can pick a CGI shot in a still..that AINT good and you'd have to be pretty fucking blind not to notice..
still could be a great film of course..jus saying..fx look real mixed. -
THEN he has a reason to hate cats!

Looks great, especially since he seems to be a connected villain
by david cloverfield
I hate it when villains are just emerging accidentally, like Green Goblin. They should've just say Osborn was created by the same experiment that created the super spider or something. IRon Mongers suit is clearly based on Stark tech. He has to face the personification of what his tech does in bad hands. Good stuff.
-
Cats are the Devil's filthy children. They are nature's snobs and they look down on people. I blame it on the Egyptians, for spoiling them for so many centuries.
-
way better than Monger

Refreshing the homepage of an entertainment website to find an article posted by a news moderator who uses the surname of The Elephant Man so I can drop the word "cat" in relation to the article's theme. Said cat-mentioning posted under the name of the fictional antagonist in the made-for-TV sequel to the 1979 version of "When a Stranger Calls". And all because of said news moderator's venomous-yet-throwaway comments about the feline community in an article featuring the trailer for the latest Eddie Murphy comedy... in which he plays a fucking robot. Yes, you heard right... a F-U-C-K-I-N-G R-O-B-O-T. I guess you could call it a PURR-sonal CAT-astrophe.
-
In the best way.
-
how come Tony Stark wears the blue repulsor all the time? even in a tank-top T-shirt, its glowing underneath. Is it some kind of bulletproof vest he always wears? Is it grafted to his chest for some reason?
I'm sure its covered in the movie, but if you tell me, I wouldn't consider it a spoiler. -
the Hulk showdown...
-
Stan Lee apologizes for the scientific gaffe c.1963. The other articles on this site are hilarious:

-
For all those Blazing Saddle fans.
-
(Yes not a fan of Iron Man either) Is that a pacemaker of sorts to keep him alive after the opening ambush??
-
Iron and Wine. Plus, I just noticed a bald Jeff Bridges. He's run the sartorial gamut since The Big Lebowski!
-
...If Iroan Man had halfway decent villains. Stane's just a 80's Lex Luthor knockoff (Iron Monger being just a robot-suit version of the Abomination, i.e. villain with basically the same power as the hero) You can't do the Mandarin anymore, not P.C., and besides, he was a stupid character anyway. Who else is there that's a threat to Tony Stark?... besides Jack Daniels, that is...
-
When we going to see Iron Man in the forest asking for "oil can", "oil can"? Or are they not releasing that image cause its a spoiler?
-
Just hand the whole Marvel universe to Favreau. And make Doctor Doom (not Nip/Tuck one, a better one) the next villain Iron Man battles.
-
I *THINK* (not a complete Iron Man fan either) that it's some kind of electromagnetic thing to keep a piece of shrapnel from entering his heart. A piece of shrapnel he got hit by when he was ambushed, and then the fellow engineer in his "cell" places a magnet on him, 'cause he can't remove the piece without killing Stark.
-
Cats are all VERMIN that need to die. That is all.
-
Nip/Tuck Dr. Doom = Creepy Child Molester
-
Apologies.
-
wouldn't that slowly pull the shrapnel out?
-
But why is everyone talking about cats?
-
Tony Stark, that's who.
-
I think it keeps the shrapnel at a safe distance from the heart. Then if the power to the magnet goes out, the shrapnel slides back into the heart. But then again, I might just be completely wrong!
-
coolest thing I've seen for Iron Man so far, is that they haven't had the need to show a Semi truck get flipped. Hopefully they stay away from that. It seems that has become a mainstay for superhero movies. I think it started with Terminator 3 (whiched did it the best) when Arnold got the crane truck fliped. It was in X-3 and Heroes, and looks like we got one coming in the new Batman. While being a bad ass sceen. Its getting a bit tired, I bet we get one in the new Incredible Hulk. This pic does however look kind of like Superman Returns. I am fucking dying to see this movie, but the more I see the trailer the more I see Ang Lee's Hulk. I prey to Allah that I am wrong. Also get rid of the most recent poster, makes it look a bad rap star movie.
-
Run 'em all over!
-
It's like an electronic heart practically. It keeps him alive basically. I don't remember it being all glowy and shit though before, that reminds me more of the Ultimate version of the character. -
Hm. Titanium Man and Crimson Dynamo are a bit dated. The anarchist Firebrand might be cool. I can see possibilities for anti-corporate terrorist The Ghost, too. And you could always just swipe HYDRA or some other Marvel villain.
-
I mean.. Iron costume.. whatever. STEEL-4-EVA.
-
..jussayin. Audi owns this movie.
-
"Read my lips."
"We can't see them." -
They're like people. Some are assholes, some are great. Don't be a kitty hater.
-
Seen these images either in the trailer or in various earlier released pics. Big whoop. Bring on the movie.
-
Anyone in a massive piece of hi-tech armor can just run up and lift your Audi? There's not much ad value in that, Audi.
-
No, wait. I don't remember. There might've been.
-
I love cats. I have two myself. So those of you who hate cats should visit catsthatlooklikehitler . com and then there will be a happy medium, since you evil cat haters will have a place to go to hang out with evil cats.
-
Dogs? Oh you mean those furry things that eat their own shit and might eat your face off if you pass out long enough? You know...the ones with the statistic that says something like "Number of people killed by dogs this year..."?No? Not dogs? Ok then...what? Fish? Bait as pets? Weird. Hamster? A weird fetish sex animal who apparently loves to romp around up people's asses? Really? Midgets then? People who hate cats want midgets for pets?! Holy shit! Midgets are people you weirdo cat haters! First you hate yourself now you want to enslave midgets? What the hell is going on?!?!?!?Stop projecting already...cats are ok...midgets are ok...you don't need to kill, eradicate, enslave, or otherwise harm either of them. In fact, if you asked cats or midgets, I'd bet they'd tell you to fuck yourself and mind your own business. But I'm not a cat or midget spokesperson so I can't say for sure. I do like dogs and fish and hamsters though. I also have no desire to have any of them up my ass. Thanks for the offer though.
-
I'm hella-psyched for this movie. The Favreau seems to seriously have his shit together on this and hopefully...we'll get a smart and purely kick ass comic-book movie that will revamp the genre and give us more "Spiderman 2" and less "Fantastic Four".
-
Thats all the endorsement I need.
-
Jeff Bridges = IRON MAN darkhorse. Mark my words. (Go RDJ.)
-
DAMNIT, now I am going to be thinking all day about this.
-
I don't know who is scheduled but Robert Downey Jr should be the season ending host of SNL. Not only to promote Iron Man, but to reprise his stint as a regular there, and because he would KICK ASS live on that stage.
-
Thanks for pointng me in the directon of catsthatlooklikehitler.com. That is some funny shit
-
a big ol' cuddly Easybake Oven!
-
Huge ad on tv last night that said 'Previews May 1' at the end. Most of the world seem to be getting it on April 30, save the UK and the US.
-
I posted my freinds cat, but it looks more like charlie chaplin, and charlie chaplin wasn't particularly evil, so all the cat haters here probably wouldn't care about him. But maybe they'd like the ones with the hitler do-overs and the little hitler cat costumes on.
-
The Iron Man costume is now one of THE best costumes Hollywood has ever produced. Go Stan Winston!!
First would have to be The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Which was designed by a woman. Go ladies! Love ya. Thank you very much. -
No sorry, it would be cool. But you have to have been in a Judd Apatow movie to host SNL now. So expect Owen Wilson, Jason Segel, Kristen Bell to host when SNL goes back on air. Then they are probably just gonna let Bill Hader host it.
-
Hey as long as they aren't flipping a semi. Flipping a semi = the new throwing a vehicle.
-
It was right? I didn't miss anything, did I? I'm confused because of all the hateful fucks talking about running over and killing cats instead about the cool as pics. Pricks who get jollies off of killing animals should get their asses kicked.
-
I'm waiting April 30th to either sharpen my blade or send the gifts basket.
-
Madame Masque, Spy Master I&II, the AIM, the Saboteur, Ghost, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Ultron, Doctor Doom (could be a good way to reboot the character movie-wise), the IM Armor itself once became evil... From tragic villain to corporate nemesis to Cold War relics you have a bunch of visually interesting and thematically challenging villains.
And the Mandarin could be terrific onscreen. It needs only a good actor and a ballsy script. How hard can it be? -
No i haven't luckly I finally took lunch. Now I don't have to worry about my boss asking me why I am dicking around the internet.
-
Blade. I can't think of a time in any of the Blade movies where he threw a car.
-
I consider it a franchise, because I loved the 80's version back then. Dolph kicked ass when I was 12.
-
Hope the movie holds up.
-
The ending of Punisher blowing up all the cars to make the skull, was his attempt to toss a car.
-
I just wanted to pay homage to Dolph Lundgren's fake beard.
I wouldn't say that he's not a super hero though. He's a vigilante but the two aren't mutually exclusive. Besides, he may not be "super", but his guns are. -
Of course we never know how it will actually feel until we see it. But man oh man, when since the Phantom Menace have pre-release stills looked so incredibly great? (I know there's a lesson in that last sentence, but there's no way this can go that far wrong, right?) So, for all that we actually know to this point, kudos to those involved for nailing this so well.
-
This talk about Dolph in the comments above makes me think it'd be a perfect fit. He's got great looks, stature, accent, and should look like just the right combination of sturdy and grizzled by now. Shave his head, grow out the facial hair like the scientist in the comic, and bingo. All we need is the perfect Mandarin actor and we've got sequel gold.
-
may I suggest Dolph for Titanium Man instead? That would be even sweeter.
Vern wouldn't argue with us about that I suppose. And since no one argues with Vern, it's a deal. -

THIS IS THE ONLY MOVIE OF 2008 I'D PAY $35 TO WATCH
by bringingsexyback
in one of them fancy schmancy thee aters.
-
I said that a long time ago but obviously Favreau's not listening.
-
BUSTEDTEES? More like busted pants. These round the clock zeppelin races in the upper right corner of AICN are hell on the crotch of my pants.

Its good to actually be excited again about the summer releases.
by series7
Namely May. May usual has the biggest grossers of the year released in it. And for the longest time May has sucked and just been full of let downs. Making anticipation of movies that come out in this month go down greatly. The last movie I really cared about was ROTS, but not half as much as I wanted to see Phantom. While May sucked last year, because it was obviously a cash in on the three series and nothing new or good came out, there were a few movies that came out in the summer that made me feel that Summer movies aren't dead. Now this year I am like a five year old wanting to see every movie that is coming out. Starting off with Iron Man, which will set the tone for the blockbuster season. Follwed by Speed/Narnia (i know its a sequel and I was not the biggest fan of the first one, its a very well done series and this one looks awesome)/Then Indy. Every movie I have seen this year has been so much better then last year (Rambo trups 300 any day of the week). So hopefully this carries through the summer.
-
He will not be the Fu Manchu villian though.
-
Mandarin should be at the end of the movie. This will set up the sequel. And if I'm right, I'll be happy as hell. The Mandarin is all kinds of kick-ass!
-
...I'm tellin' ya! Like I said in the South Park Talkback, those T-Shirt ads are like Harry's version of cat pee.
-
someone had to step in for the quick laughs.
-
someone had to step in for the cheap laughs.
-
I'm joking. It would alter the TB experience.
-
isn't specifically an Iron Man villain, but he's the ultimate Marvel comics universe villain. DOCTOR DOOM. Full boody armor he never removes with a tunic, cowl and cape. Multiple concealed weapons systems built in. A full force field capable of standing up to a bettering by the thing. And he carries a hostered gun. Also, he's the dictator of his own nation and walks on American soil with full diplomatic immunity.On the other hand, the worst possible Marvel villain for iron Man to fight? MAGNETO. The fight would last 20 seconds with Iron Man car-crushered like a tin foil gum wrapper and Stark oozing out of the cracks like ketchup flavored toothpaste.
-
Marvel seems to get that audiences want to see their superheroes in big-ass fights with people who ALSO have super-powers.
DC keeps giving us villains who are "diabolical geniuses" but who lack any kind of special abilities. BO-RING.
Think about it: Superman Returns gave us no-power Lex Luthor and his diabolical genius. Batman Begins gave us Scarecrow and Ras Al Ghul with their diabolical genius. The Dark Knight will give us The Joker and Two-Face with their diabolical genius. NO POWERS. NONE OF THEM!!!
I look forward to an Avengers movie far more than I'm looking forward to a damn JLA movie, because Marvel seems to know how to give us villains that do more than give speeches and put "diabolical plots" into motion with a bunch of useless thugs for the heroes to beat up on. -
Heck, I'll third it, too.
-
Ancient Chinese secret?
-
Say what you want about the quality of the fim after it coms out (though, I think it will be at worst a B+ effort, if not a solid A), Favs and company nailed the look of Iron Man and Monger. Which is more than I can say for a certain asspickling 2007 Bay movie.
-
How is he supposed to be a challenge to iron man?
-
Which is how he's a credible threat to Iron Man. I wonder if he's gonna go out the same was as he did in the comics, I wonder. If so, not your typical PG-13 family (ish) friendly type movie. -
kinda plasticky dontcha think?
-
I'm only familiar with Iron Man from a spy/industrial-espionage POV. The comics I read were circa 1970 or 80 and were involed in a lot of that stuff. I can't really get into it any other way. His rogues gallery is the weakest of all the characters out there.
-
This movie will make Hulk's movie look bad. Hulk don't like to feel bad or drag his dick in the dirt. Hulk Smash!
-
Maybe deliver some of the hero action Superman Returns lacked, more smack-downy. My neighbours cat comes to visit my house, its only young but is a welcome visitor, though she does leave hairs that make my nose itch really bad. I still enjoyed S.R.
-
I believe I am now as excited to see Iron Man as I am to see The Dark Knight. I thought about it, and it's what I am realizing.
-
It states that the Iron Man costume is one of "THE" best Hollywod costumes in a long time. The Creature From The Black Lagoon being the best of all time.
-
Take that shit.
-
Forget old man Indy. Iron Man is where it's at!
-
A new mega arch nemesis that a current generation can latch onto and fear/admire at the same time.
Iron man probably has the worst villains of any Marvel mega hero.
Fing fang foom. I shake my head at him. -
I like!
-
Motherfucker looks just like the Iron Giant.
-
I got me the 12 inch Repulsor Power deluxe action figure with the talking chest button! That shit is badass! I almost popped a Boner when I saw the display for these action figures!
-
This is exactly the villain in Hulk - a bigger, badder version of the hero. I know these adversaries come from the comics, but it still seems a bit lazy and lame.
-
Good idea re: Titanium Man. Would probably be less out-of-date than the Dynamo. Though it'd be neat to see the Dynamo quickly be converted to an ally, then they could both take on Dolph as Titanium Man. But maybe I'm getting ahead of myself--first we need one good movie!
-
I'm not up to speed on the modern Iron Man, but in the old comics, when Stark had to fight someone in his old armor (or had to wear it himself against his new armor), he remarked that the old suit was actually stronger, both super-strength-wise and sturdiness-wise. The newer suit, redesigned to be lighter and hence less strain on his heart, was faster, more agile, and had more weapons. So, kind of the old brute-strength vs. skill matchup.That may be way out of date by now, but most of these Marvel flicks have gone way back for plot-point inspiration, so who knows.
-
Not enough supervillains in DC movies? Go kneel before Zod.
-
Excelsior!!!!!
-
The whole "former Soviet super heroes" angle could be a great nod to the Cold War Era - how the Soviets grew paranoid and built armors that were never used. And a Shellhead/Dynamo team up against T-Man would be terrific.
However, since they used the armored nemesis for the first film I'm inclined to think that they'll chose a more mystical baddie in the sequel. The "villain with a stronger armor" device could grew up very tired past the first film. -
And I agree with you BSB like you said way above, make Dr. Doom (the real one) his next villain.
-
I think Iron Man's biggest villain should be Windows Vista. Think about it. In a fight, his right arm would lock up and a message in his helmet would say "your right arm would like to throw a punch. Allow this? (yes) (no)"
Bill Gates: Megalomaniacal Would-Be World Conqueror. Not quite as fictional as I would like, but still... -
Tony Stark finds out that people have been stealing his armor technology and he just goes on an armor ripping spree from a whole bunch of villains and heroes. Great storyline. It's kind of a shame they're using Iron Monger already, since Stane figured prominently in Stark's alcoholic downfall/eventual redemption. -
Im not much of an Ironman comics fan, but Im still geeking out over how awesome this movie looks. Im hoping it has the same impact on fans that the first Spider-man movie had. As for possible script fodder, in the comic book series Rhodie dons the armor and uses the name Warmachine. Do a search on youtube for videos from last year's San Diego Comic Con Ironman panel, and in the first video when Terrence Howard is introduced, the possibility of Warmachine is mentioned. Ah to hell with the search, here's the link to the first part.
