Did you catch the latest Iron Man trailer last night? No? Fortunately, MySpaceTV has you covered.
Apple went ahead and dropped the Iron Man trailer on its site a day early, so that means you should get thee to the site post haste and view the trailer in magnificent high definition. I had my reservations about Robert Downey, Jr as Tony Stark, but after seeing the trailer, I’m sold.
Sold I Tell You! This movie is going to rock!
If teh Interwebs get clogged and you can’t get the trailer for yourself, take the jump for some screen caps.
Next week fans who have been waiting to catch a glimpse of Jon Favreau’s Iron Man footage will get their chance.
The official trailer airs on television beginning September 10th, with the HD trailer coming to the Apple Store on the 11th.
Over at his MySpace page, Jon Favreau posted a message to let everyone know we’ll be seeing some of that Iron Man footage real soon.
I hear you all loud and clear. You want to see the footage that we brought to SDCC. Why not post it in HD instead of having everyone download a grainy bootleg? I agree. I am trying to get a version out to you ASAP. This is a big movie, however, and it takes time to get the proper approvals from all parties involved.
I am happy to report that both Marvel and Paramount have agreed to get a version of the footage out to you very soon. I will report the specifics when I get them. Thanks for your enthusiasm and patience.
Well hot damn. For those who got to see the footage at the San Diego Comic-Con, how was it?
Jon Favreau has posted his home video of the big unveiling of the Iron Man Mark I suit at last week’s comic-con.

One of the big events at the Marvel booth was the unveiling of the Iron Man Mark 1 Armour. Superhero Hype! has some great shots of the suit including some close-ups that really look good. I am really impressed at the amount of detail the creators put into this suit and can’t wait to see this behemoth in action.

Captain Marvel gets a new title with Brian Reed writing and Lee Weeks doing the art work. It’s not one of those stories where Mar-vel comes back from the dead, rather a time-travel story where the Captain comes to grips with his death.
More highlights from the Mondo Marvel Panel after the jump.

Apparently it is the Audi R8. Audi and Marvel have teamed up to give Tony Stark a ride in the new film, that will help lessen the burden of Marvel financing all the promotion itself.
As part of its involvement, Audi will likely pony up tens of millions of dollars to help promote the movie worldwide upon its release, set for May 2008. Details of the marketing plans are still being worked out. Recruiting heavyweight promotional partners like Audi for “Iron Man” is particularly crucial for Marvel given that the pic is the first the company is self-financing, with Par only distribbing.
One of the interesting things about the $108,000 car is it has been designed with the movie promotion in mind; the engine housing glows at night similar to Tony’s chestplate, and the car’s headlights resemble the eye slits of Iron Man’s helmet. Audi actually went to great lengths to get the attention of Marvel to get its car(s) in the film, similar to the deal GMC Dodge had with the Fantasticar from this summer’s Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, and GMC had with the Transformers.
You would think with his fortune he’d be kickin’ it in the back of a stretch limo surrounded by hotties, while his man servant drives him around… ah, the life of a millionaire playboy.
Avi Arad has confirmed Sam “mutha-f**ker” Jackson and Hilary Swank will make appearances in the upcoming Iron Man movie. While he tried to keep mum on what roles they would play, he did let slip Jackson will play Nick Fury.
Clearly a bit frustrated, Arad then amended himself. “The Sam thing was supposed to be the biggest secret of them all,” he shrugged. “It’s amazing how it got out.”
This image appeared in the latest Entertainment Weekly, hyping both the movie and the Comic-Con. I’m pretty excited about this image, and the panel this week that will hopefully have a lot cool clips from the film.
Wanna see some Iron Man goodness? You’ll have to head to the San Diego Comic-Con where Jon Favreau will be sharing the big room on Saturday with Hulk and Marvel during the company’s one hour presentation. Favreau says he’ll try and cut something together as a reward for fans.
Favreau and company will also be doing signing and poster giveaways at the Marvel booth on Saturday, so be sure to get in line early for both events.
And what about those Iron Man rumors?
Yeah, I’m still trying to catch up on sleep since Mason joined the Major Spoilers Family, so I just ran across the Entertainment Weekly photo of the cast of Iron Man. Robert Downey, Jr. is looking pretty good, and I can believe him as Tony Stark, and if the other images that have been sneaking out are any indication, I’m going to like this movie – that is providing the little one allows me to go see it!
According to film director Jon Favreau, Iron Man will be seeking a PG-13 rating when it its screens in May of 2008. While I can understand the need to keep franchise movies like Iron Man in the PG realm, since when has an R rating kept kids out of theaters?
Like his previous appearances, Stan Lee will once again make a brief cameo appearance in the upcoming Iron Man movie.
In an interview with IGN, Stan Lee said, “That’s the best of all! I’m with three blondes and Tony Stark mistakes me for Hugh Hefner. I won’t tell you the rest, but it’s very funny.”
