On Monday we got out first look at the first poster from the upcoming sequel film Iron Man 2. As you may recall, that poster featured Iron Man and War Machine standing back to back, ready for action. Today we get our first look at the first international poster for the film … and this poster is all about Tony Stark/Iron Man:

We saw the first teaser poster for Iron Man 2 [earlier this] week, but here’s the new international teaser poster for the film – and darn it if Tony Stark isn’t looking grumpier by the minute. Yes, by the looks of this poster things are going to get a lot tougher for one-time playboy Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr., as if you didn’t know) this time around. He’s got the government trying to co-opt his invention, a powerful competitor after his business in the form of Sam Rockwell’s Justin Hammer, a new enemy in Mickey Rourke’s Whiplash and a new frenemy when Don Cheadle’s Colonel James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes dons the War Machine armour for himself. Oh, and there’s Scarlett Johnasson’s Natasha Romanov in there as well, complicating everything further (we’re guessing), Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury hovering and Gwyneth Paltrow’s Pepper Potts providing romantic entanglement.

Great, altho gruff, poster … but I think I prefer the other poster over this one. But in the end, who really cares cuz both posters are awesome!! Ugh, I cannot get over how far away May 2010 sounds but considering it was just Hallowe’en then BAM! it was Thanksgiving and BAM! it’ll soon be Xmas then New Year’s … I’m afraid to see just how quickly May 2010 will get here. In any event, I’m really looking forward to Iron Man 2 … and I hope the poster artwork keeps comin’ … they are always a treat to see.
