Jul 24 2006Iron Man to Fight Mandarin, Possibly While Resembling This
Hey, Iron Fans! Here's a teaser poster for Jon Favreau's Iron Man movie. He says it's not the final design for the suit, and I'm glad. I say if you call it "Iron Man" you dress him like the Iron Man guys from ESPN 2. Just a tank top, shorts, 80 pounds of excess fat, and the shameful expression of knowing you routinely train yourself to competitively lift slot machines in a wheelbarrow.
Also the villain of the film is going to be Mandarin. You know, the Chinese guy with all the magic rings. Not the one on the subway, though.

I really hope those rumors of Tom Cruise wanting to do this are false....I know the guy only makes like one movie a year....but it some how always turns it into a 4 month spectacle of annoyance

he's fighting a citris fruit?

No, I'm pretty sure he's fighting the guy who taught Lamont Cranston how to cloud men's minds.

The Mandarin???!!?
They haven't shot a single frame and already this movie is half of what I thought it was going to be. Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, MODOK, and they pick Mandarin.
Yes, I'm a geek. What about it?

Actually, the villain wasn't The Mandarin. I don't know if the Villain in the movie is a villain in the comic, but he isn't Chinese and doesn't have magic rings. ;)
