After Robert Downey Jr. injured his ankle in August, production on Iron Man 3 was delayed until yesterday, so here are some set shots of the new Iron Man armor in case you have sex with women’s vaginas and missed the statue at Comic-Con and/or have no clue what Iron Man: Extremis is because, holy cow, does your girlfriend put out. Seriously, sometimes you just want to watch TV. Anyway, fun fact, after the first movie Robert Downey Jr. completely quit wearing the full armor because it’s too “pinchy” (Read: Made him want coke.), so that’s not him in the suit. Also, I like how they tried to cover up Iron Patriot (Or possibly Detroit Steel. *looks at hand* It’s really just you and me, isn’t it?) with a black sheet even though the entire Internet saw him months ago. And if these pics from Perez Hilton are any indication, a robot dick didn’t magically grow out of his shoulder like my immediate reaction was to think, so I don’t get the point of the smoke and mirrors unless it’s to toy with my Photo Boy’s emotions. What did he ever do to you?!

Looks like Iron Man just accidently shit his pants
wtf is the iron man suit made with a permanent frown for? for fuck’s sake, if I had a bulletproof metal suit that made me invinceable and fly around shooting death rays at everyone and everything, I’d sure as heck have a shit eating grin all the time.
Agreed! Iron man doesn’t need a perma-frown. Also, it appears they gave him a furrowed brow as well, like he’s an angry little elf.
And as long as I’m on the topic, why do the studios feel we need lots of new armor every time they put a superhero on the screen? Spiderman needed a new costume? The only one that really needs a new costume is the Black Widow…something with less material.
Frown looks like it was always there but less noticeable because of the color pattern. And while the brow is different, it really just gives away how the original had a unibrow. And now I can’t unsee it. Thanks.
As for costume changes: for Spider-Man it was because the style was different between the regular and reboot, Batman was function, Iron Man is like the Madden of superhero costumes, he has a new one annually without much difference. But really, toys. New costume means new toys that stand out better.
Also this costume is linked to a specific story in the comics which the movie is (supposedly) based off.
The War Machine storyline? I havent followed any of the new movie talk….
My favorite Iron Man armor is easily the first red and gold as seen on the covers to Avengers 3-5, with those funky tall “eye brows.”
As for the movies, yes, I understand why they put new costumes in all these movies…because the studios think thats what the ticket buying public wants. But I dont agree. We invariably end up with a costume designer that doesnt know what’s cool and what isn’t, and we end up with Bat Nipples.
I think the Mark VII from Avengers was pretty sweet…but it wasn’t that the suit was cool and new, it was the way it was presented to the audience, bursting out of the elevator shaft and hauling ass after Stark as he fell towards his death. It could have been one of his other models and it wouldn’t have changed the story or the experience for the viewer.
But I digress…
Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like you people, alex and Frunken, have spent way too much time analyzing comic books and their cinematic progeny.
I mean, there are real issues in this world that need to be dealt with such as Kim Kardashian’s ass, Lindsay Lohan’s pussy (and criminal record), Gary Busey’s defective brain, Jessica Simpson’s weight, etc.
You’re right. I should have just clicked the thumbs up button on the comment about having a Nerdgasm. :)
*nerdgasms in pants*
Actually it is Dania Beach. My husband and I were at the Dania Beach Bar and Grill (called Neptunes Net for the movie) on Saturday when they were setting it up. The bar was closed Monday the 1st for filming.
The first 2 movies kicked ass, they better not fuck this up.
The first movie kicked ass, they better not fuck this up again. – Fixed
‘I once had a line of coke THIS LONG…”
The first movie was good, the second one sucked. The suit is getting more gold and less red with every installment. Not like it matters.
Isn’t the frown part of the faceplate because of where the make it CGI pop open so Downey can look out like he’s actually in the suit?
Gooood! I can feel your anger. It gives you focus. Makes you stronger.
Why does his armor look like its made of plastic?
Because it is. All the IronMan suits have been made of plastic. I think they do something in editing to give it a more metallic appearance.
It’s sad you had to explain that. Especially a dude who calls himself Frank Castle.
He looks so bitchy with that robo-frown the other armor-suited guys are going to start calling him Iron Maiden.
This new Iron Man is always sad. Even when getting blown by a chair.
if you were a robot with no penis and no neck to ogle all kinds of hot slutty bitches, you’d be always frowning too.
That’s Rush Limbaugh eating lunch in front of him.
Obviously the Iron Man 3 suit has a tiny iron penis which accounts for the iron frown. Personally, I’d be pissed too.
There is no way in hell that’s Robert Downey Jr. in that suit unless he’s standing on a step ladder.
So they’ve updated the goatee by adding a chin strap to match the updated suit then
“Near, far, whereeeever you are …. I believe that this franchise will go on” ♪
I would have the exact same “I love you Robert I’ve always loved you and I WILL always love you please turn and see that I am sending you giant signals of TAKE ME BACK TO YOUR ROOM IMMEDIATELY” look on my face if I were in Stripey Girl’s flip-flops.
I hear in the next movie that a homosexual version of Iron Man will sport a cod piece that emites aerosol AIDS as a weapon.
Why so serious?
My friend and I actually found the set at Miami Beach, but I think they were closing it down for the day. Still, success!
