First Iron Man 2 Movie Trailer!!!

Wow. Other than Mickey Rourke's horrible accent (Mick, can I call you Mick? get Sin City 2 lined-up ASAP. this is going to take away all the good press you got from The Wrestler...), Iron Man 2 will AT LEAST be the equal of the previous movie in both box office take and coolness. Seeing Iron Man and War Machine back-to-back blasting away at the villians was just too freaking awesome. Scarlett Johansson joins the cast as the Black Widow amid rumors that she could be returning to join the cast of ...

The Expendables Movie Trailer

This is going to be a vapid, plot-less movie with a bunch of over-the-hill actors trying to recapture past movie glory. With that said: This will be the coolest guy move EVER! I can just hear the movie trailer guy saying: "This time, everything gets blowed the F up!" Here's what you need to know about this movie: guns, explosions, Eric Roberts as the villain, tropical locales, more explosions, martial arts and I'm hoping Schwarzenegger yelling, "Git to da choppa!" Before you get to the trailer, ...

Marvel Releases New Pic of Whiplash’s Armor From the Movie

I’m still not sold on Whiplash being enough villain to make Iron Man break a sweat. From everything I’ve ever seen in the comics, Whiplash works in a group with other losers that Justin Hammer throws together to take out Iron Man. But alone… c’mon Favreau. Marvel just released a picture of Whiplash in a more complete looking armor set. They plan to publish a comic called Iron Man vs. Whiplash that details Whiplash’s life before we see him in the movie. Still not impressed guys. Unless this mook’...

New Pics of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow…

Entertainment Weekly has the cast of Iron Man 2 on the cover of this week’s issue and has an exclusive photo of Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow. I’ll admit, I didn’t think she would look good as the character, but the pic below has made me a believer. Pepper Potts is promoted to CEO of Stark Enterprises with the demise of Stane and Tony has hired Natasha Romanov (aka: Black Widow) to be his new assistant. Guess we’ll see a bit of a love triangle happening there. Another rival/villain o...

New Iron Man II Photo…

Paramount, via USA Today, has released the first photo of Mickey Rourke as the Russian villain, Whiplash. After seeing this image all I can say is this: I'm glad that Robert Downey, Jr. is in this movie. I still think that Rourke only got this role because of his performance in The Wrestler and they are hoping to draw a bigger and more diverse audience with him in the movie. Not the best reason to cast someone in a movie if you ask me. Do they fit the character? Do they have a passion for the ...
