Apple Trailer has just released the first Iron Man poster and trailer today. I’m a fan of the first Iron Man movie (it’s right up there with the first two Spiderman films as one of the more successful comic-to-screen adaptations), so I’m pretty excited to see Mr Downey Jr. return to kick more butt. But he’s up against his greatest enemy yet, Mr Mickey “The Wrestler” Rourke as Whiplash!

Having watched the trailer, it looked pretty impressive to me. Didn’t exactly bowl me over, but I love Robert Downey Jr’s return in the opening scene (“I just privatised peace!” ), and Rourke looks pretty bad-*ss as Whiplash. I’m not really familiar with the Iron Man canon, so I don’t know who’s the ‘Grey Iron Man’ standing next to Stark at the end… ??? Forgive my ignorance, I’d be glad if anyone can illuminate me… but Jeez, this looks pretty good from the few scenes we’re shown so far.
What do you guys think?
