Earlier today, Marvel Studios held a twitter event hosted by Marvel’s @Agent_M (Ryan Penagos) along with some of the cast and crew of Marvel’s The Avengers. A few funny tidbits were dropped, but the one thing that did stand out was the 17 second clip posted above. Sadly, no Skrulls, Kree, Red Skull or Thanos … but intergalactic spaceships? I’m thinking the other baddie in the movie is The Frost Giants … yawn.

Marvel Studios Trying to Create Consistent Motifs Across Its Superhero Film Scores

ilango — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 14:25:47 +0000

The Hollywood Reporter (via The Playlist) has a fascinating feature on the challenges and pleasures of creating a film score for a summer blockbuster. Longtime listeners will know that I am a film score junkie, so this piece was right up my alley and I’d strongly suggest you check it out if you are too. Of particular interest is how they are trying to make the film scores connect, not only from Iron Man to Iron Man 2, but also from Iron Man 2 to the new Captain America film. And with The Avengers film on the way too, who knows how they’ll be able to weave everything together?

Check out some new images of the War Machine figure from the Iron Man 2 Movie Series line. All of these images show the figure out of box in numerous poses, with some closeup shots focusing on the detail of the figure.

Paramount Pictures and Marvel Studios has released a character poster for the anticipated sequel "Iron Man 2" which will be available at this years WonderCon.

The character poster features Black Widow who is played by Scarlett Johansson.

According to WonderCon, if you are going to the event stop by the WonderCon Booth (#242) to pick up your free poster (while supplies last)!

The film stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, and Samuel L. Jackson.

Iron Man 2 is due out May 7, 2010.

Check out the character poster below and let us know what you think.

With the world now aware of his dual life as the armored superhero Iron Man, billionaire inventor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) faces pressure from the government, the press, and the public to share his technology with the military. Unwilling to let go of his invention, Stark, along with Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and James "Rhodey" Rhodes (Don Cheadle) at his side, must forge new alliances -- and confront powerful enemies.

Iron Man 2 Viral: Stark Expo 2010 Website Launched

ilango — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 02:25:36 +0000

As you’ve probably read, part of the storyline of Iron Man 2 involves Tony Stark’s attempt to bring back Stark Expo, a world fair-like industrial and scientific exhibition which his father, Howard Stark, first launched in the 1960’s. The mystery of the 1974 Stark Expo is a centerpiece of the new film. As part of the viral marketing for Iron man 2, Marvel Entertainment has launched a website for Stark Expo 2010 at starkexpo2010.com.

The new site features almost 20 images of the fairgrounds/exhibition, an interactive map of the expo, along with videos, one of which includes Tony’s father Howard Stark (played by John Slattery). I’ve included the images after the jump. You will definitely recognize a bunch of these locations from the trailers. A lot of great art design from the making of these sequences is featured on the site. You’ll have to go to the website to explore the videos.

The website also features a countdown, only 38 more days until the 2010 Stark Expo takes place in Flushing Meadows, New York, the same location of both the real world 1964/1965 New York World’s Fair and the 1939/1940 New York World’s Fairs. I doubt any Iron Man viral event will really take place in Queens New York on that date, but the site promises that tickets will be “available soon”. May 7th 2010 is the date of the film release, and the date of the expo. Take a look around, did we miss anything?

Iron Man 2 Concept Art : Whiplash’s Mark II Suit?

Whiplash Vs. Iron Man Vs..... Solid Snake!

Marvel has released the first image of the new Whiplash character design, created by Marko Djurdjevic (X-men, Thor) for an upcoming mini series. Is this the look and concept we can expect from Mickey Rourke’s character in IM2?

Very reminiscent of the art style used in the Metal Gear Series.
