Badass First Trailer for Iron Man 2 Hits The Web

Iron Man 2 Trailer

Oh. My. GOD!!! Millions of movie goers from around the world will get to see the first official trailer for Iron Man 2 in theaters this weekend in front of James Cameron’s Avatar. Good thing the internet exists if you’re a movie geek. The Iron Man 2 viral has been in full effect, with newspaper clippings turning up around the internet the past couple weeks, providing clues to…something. As The Dark Knight proved in 2008, studios are wetting fanboy appetites via viral websites far in advance of the film’s release. And now, it has led us to the first official trailer for Iron Man 2.

As obsessed as I am with Christopher Nolan’s Inception, Iron Man 2 is easily my SECOND most-anticipated movie of 2010, and this trailer just added to that. Clever web geeks from around the country, solved the viral puzzles set up by the studios leading to this website where the trailer was discovered: starksecretconfessionrevealed.com. I’ve watched it several times already and I can’t get enough. So without further ado, check out the first badass, action-packed trailer for Iron Man 2.

So. From the trailer we see Tony Stark’s celebrity is sky-high (pun intended), as he is publicly meeting with congress to discuss whether the Iron Man suit should be surrendered to the American government, as well as landing into a massive event of some kind, equip with dancing bikini girls and fireworks. This is when the happy-go-luck feel of the trailer goes out the window.

The shot zooms out of the event and the light and mood go extremely dark. It shows a room plastered with newspaper clippings of Iron Man/Stark, where Russian criminal Vanko (Mickey Rourke) is building his diabolical Whiplash suit. Then there’s a montage of crazy action including Whiplash slicing through a speeding race car, Iron Man dodging bullets while flying through the air, leading up to the final epic shot. That is of course a shot of Rhodey Rhodes (Don Cheadle) standing back-to-back with Iron Man in his War Machine suit, blasting away what appears to be a barrage of iron-suited soldiers; probably set up by Justin Hammer played by Sam Rockwell. Needless to say, it’s pretty damn epic.

What Do You Think? Discuss.

This movie looks amazing! The cast is great and the story, from what i know, sounds great and i think Jon Favreau has done a outstanding job with the iron man franchise.

My opinion on what's goin down in IM2:
TS is enjoying his new found playboy/superhero balance while still trying to cultivate a relationship with Pepper.
IMDB stats that a young Tony Stark will make an appearance which leads me to believe there will flash-backs to his childhood. Per Whiplashes monologue in the trailer “you come from a family of thieves and butchers,and now like all guilty men, you try to re-write your history,and you forget who the lives of the Stark family has destroyed ….The sharks will come ” SOOO….I think whiplash's family was wronged, in his eyes, by the Stark family…and now Mr. Wrestler is back for revenge…
I am also curious as to why Tony's power source seems to be making him ill and is spreading throughout his body…
oh and you can bet on a catfight show down between Black Widow and Pepper Potts…

Hats off to Jon Favreau thus far…

My only gripe is that we didn't even catch a glimpse of Justin Hammer who, presumably will be a more serious threat that Whiplash himself…

Iron Maiden…no no no not the bad ass rock gods but the Russian mercenary is going to make an appearance.
