"Iron Man 2" roars into theaters on May 7, 2010, and the Web’s all abuzz over a new trailer located at iTunes Movie Trailers.
The way it came about is pretty fun. A series of leaked photos and posters containing clues for the movie led a fan named "Mirko P from Houston" to piece the hints together and unlock the Web site Stark Secret Confession Revealed at approximately 3:08 PM PT Wednesday.
For the next hour, the site displayed a countdown indicating that the launch of a brand new trailer had been initiated. At 4:08 PM, the site began sending viewers to iTunes Movie Trailers, where the trailer could be seen. Check it out for yourself right here.
More after the jump…
Notable things about the trailer:
- The footage includes Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey, Jr.) public revelation at the end of the first film that he is, indeed, Iron Man.
- One scene shows him ready to dive out of a plane, asking Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) for a "smooch for good luck" (she kisses his helmet, then tosses it out of the plane).
- Another shows the billionaire playboy at the Stark Expo, emerging from the suit to a roaring crowd and exclaiming, "It’s good to be back!"
- We get a look at Oscar nominee Mickey Rourke’s villain, a Russian named Ivan Vanko, a.k.a. Whiplash. "You come from a family of thieves and butchers," he says in a thick accent, we’re assuming to Stark. "And now, like all guilty men, you’re trying to rewrite your own history."
- We also see a few quick shots of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, and Iron Man going back-to-back with Don Cheadle, a.k.a. War Machine.
Any thoughts on the trailer? Looking forward to the movie? I am!
