Next Armors

[Lord]

So in these first 2 films we already had 6 different iron man armors, what's next? What if iron man follows the bond rule od infinite sequels with different actors like some suggseted before?

[GoldGoblin]

Looks like Juggernaut.

[kookevin3]

We better get Hulkbuster in the Avengers, Maybe stealth armor. I would like to see a new helmet.

[BatsDC]

If the Hulkbuster amour is used in the Avengers and not destroyed, I guess it may have a cameo next to the other armours Stark has.

[Iron_Stark]

:up:

The Avengers
Hulkbuster Mark VII, start the movie with the team after the Hulk
Mark VIII, the armor used for the rest of the movie, and gets trashed at the end

Iron Man 3
Mark IX, gets trashed by Mandarin or whoever's the main villain in their first encounter
Mark X, like the suitcase armor in part 2, this is a specialty suit, the Stealth Armor
Mark XI, final battle suit. Make it look like Tony's current Bleeding Edge armor he has in the comics.

He should go back to the circle chest piece, and keep the helmet as is, it's perfect.

[Sgt.Pepper]

Don't care what armors he's going to have next as long as the helmet stays.

[Lord]

I think that they should only use mark VI and the hulkbuster in avengers, now for iron man 3 they could made some armors based on extremis and ultimate Iron Man

[meltdown28]

Id like to see his current armor in a movie eventually. Looks wise, its one of my favorites.

[Galactus123]

Aqua armor. I want some underwater scenes

or stealth armor

wasn't there concept art, for the Aqua armor, stealth armor... or were these not offfical...

(either way there still pretty cool designs)

[Lord]

That would be cool, in Iron Man 3 they could use stealth armour, aqua armour and finally extremesis armour.

[kedrell]

I still wanna see him in space, dammit.

Those are legit. I'd love it if they used that design of the Stealth Armor except maybe make it all black. I can already see a scene where Stark goes to infiltrate the Mandarin's headquarters in order to learn more about him.

[Anno_Domini]

I only care about seeing the Stealth Armor for IM3. Imagine a battle with a Stealth Armored Iron Man and Ghost.

[Fudgie]

Yeah its time for the stealth armor to be used.

[REPULSIVE BLAST]

helmets perfect ,anything else would be second best! dunno what it will look like but i see an unmanned suit and a possible fake death fakeout

[NHawk19]

didnt they allude to the hulk buster in one of the after credit sequences?

[Iron_Stark]

didnt they allude to the hulk buster in one of the after credit sequences?

Nope.

[Hulk1968]

Tony walked into the same bar that Gen. Ross was (at the end of "The Incredible Hulk") and he mentioned to Ross about his "little problem" aka the Hulk, then tells Ross that they are putting together a team.

I predict that the Avengers will have to deal with a rampaging Hulk, and Tony breaks out the Hulkbuster armor :)

[Knight Rise]

Hulkbuster for sure

This is what i was referring too. And I had a similar prediction until the cube. Now I'm not sure what will happen or if they may have been talking about he cube.

That armor sucks.

[The Infernal]

http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/4/42/Invincible_Iron_Man_Vol_1_25_Textless_Variant.jpg

I wouldn't mind seeing something like this. It's pretty cool and is a good enough step away from the same design the two Iron Man movies have essentially stayed with. I don't think it should work like it does in the comics though and should be an actual set of armour he puts on rather than a Venom type morph.

[Eelectro 2]

i dont think there is any reason he should have a new armor unless it makes sense for the story. honestly i hope they use the hulk buster armor for the beginning of the avengers. they have to make sense of how bruce is brought on to the team. i dont want that to be an off screen thing. iron man and captain america along with black widow and hawkeye are going to already be part of the team basically, but thor will be the main reason for the story in the avengers and hulk should be used as the intro. past that, i would love to see a really cool underwater outfit for tony in iron man 3 ONLY if it makes sense. i would prefer it not to be just a one-time usage tho

[The Infernal]

Well from what I've heard in The Avengers forum Iron Man isn't likely to have the Hulkbuster armour. I agree that costume changes should be story driven, but I still want to see something a bit more different than we've seen in the last two films. I doubt it would be hard for them to work it in.

[kedrell]

I'd rather the Hulkbuster naturally show up in Avengers 2 than get forced into Avengers 1 only because the fans really, really, really, really want to see it. That's the reason we got Venom in SM3 and War Machine in IM2(both of which should have been held off for later movies and their films would have been all the better for it). Impatience is a killer.

I agree.

I loved both IM movies but they could have been put together better.

IM would have been better if they had stuck with Wong Chu and put Stark in North/South Korea and used either Crimson Dynamo or Titanium Man as the adversary.

IM 2 should have covered the alcohol issue and used the Mandarin(Maybe transferred to the Modular Armor in the final battle).

IM 3 would have been great if it used Modok and AIM as the adversaries and included the Undersea Armor, Space Armor, and ended with Stark donning the War Machine Armor for an all out assault on AIM Island(If everyone remembers, WM was used by Stark before he gave it to Rhodes).

QFT! :up:

[egarza]

the 12' toy, and the new avengers promo pic has tony in a red silver and gold get up, could that be mark VII?

[Ash Talon]

I can see the Hulkbuster armor showing up. Would make sense, if the Avengers form up to stop the Hulk.

I can see them offering up a mkVII armor, but it'll probably only be a slight upgrade from the mkVI.

They should save a mkVIII for Iron Man 3 and make it a major upgrade. While they don't have to make it the Bleeding Edge armor exactly, they could make an armor that is far more streamlined and organic.

[psylockolussus]

I want to see an aqua armor in the third movie!

[Spider-Fan]

The Hulkbuster armor would not be like addind Venom in SM3. Venom was an entire character with the added element of the suit bonding with Peter first. The Hulkbuster armor is just a piece of technology. That could easily be put into Avengers.

[Hunter Rider]

Exactly what I was thinking Chris, I'd love to see a sequence like that in the movie. I'd also like to see the Aqua Armour, an underwater battle scene would be fun.

Agreed, basically if they are going to have a sequence where the Avengers stop the Hulk, then Tony will need the Hulbuster armour.

[Adamantium Man]

I'm fully expecting the armor in the Avengers promo poster (Mark VII?) to be space-worthy. Iron Man in space! Wouldn't that be sweet? :D

And I'm seconding (thirding?) the call for stealth armor.

[kedrell]

That's why I mentioned War Machine as well. WM isn't a new character, just a piece of technology. And I'm not even saying that the Hulk buster shouldn't be in this movie. I'm saying that it shouldn't be there simply due to Marvel impatiently giving in to simple fan service.

IMO nothing should be included for that reason, if it can be avoided. It should be there to support the over-all film mythos(which includes making it come about when the time is right).

I also don't want someone like Winter Soldier showing up in Captain America 2 for the same reason. Does that mean that I never wanted to see Venom, War Machine, the Hulk buster armor or Winter Soldier? Of course not. I do want to see them all but I want them put in where it works the best and makes the most sense.

As I said before, impatience is a killer. Marvel is making this mythos to last(one would hope) and blowing your wad like a prepubescent teen visiting his first adult bookstore just because you can is not what I'd like to see.

The Hulkbuster armor is just an armor. It's not like giving Rhodey the WM suit. That takes a story arc and build up. Stark has been working with Fury behind the scenes. Him having an armor to combat the Hulk can be explained in 2 seconds. It is not a distraction.

You could be right. I do think explaining the Hulkbuster like that in 2 seconds would be kinda missing something. Some sort of build-up. I'm just wary of the impatience that seems to be taking hold across the board with many superhero films. But if they execute it right, Hulkbuster showing up in TA could work fine, I guess.

It's not different than using the Crimson armor like they did in IM2. That was perfectly fine, and a part where Stark declares he made something just for a situation like this, then popping out in the Hulkbuster armor during the fight would be more than enough.

[kedrell]

Yeah, I guess that's a good comparison. He already obviously knows about the Hulk's existance after showing up at the end of TIH. But I'm not sure he would know that his regular armor simply wouldn't be enough to do the job(as he's never matched it against Hulk and his regualr armor is pretty darn powerful in it's own right).

[Spider-Fan]

Nobody in the audience will think like that.

[kedrell]

Well, I'm just speaking for myself and that's the way I think.

[Alientraveller]

If the Hulkbuster armour is in Avengers, I suspect it'll have some lineage with Iron Monger and Stark ought to be shown early on fiddling with that before he brings out the prototype to fight the Hulk.

[bubbadoom]

I could see Tony taking on the Hulk single handed early in the movie, getting his butt handed to him, and him deciding he is going to need something much stronger.

By the time the rest of the team is assembled, he's got the Hulkbuster armor ready to go.

Pretty straight forward to me.

[DrCosmic]

I'd love Hulkbuster Armor in Avengers. It would make a lot of sense to me, especially if Fury referred to it as something he had commissioned Stark to work on already. Sort of the 'unspoken plan' when it comes to Hulk. If the dialogue reflects what we already know from aftercredits scenes, that Tony already knows about the Hulk, it could be cool. And it'd be a great kewl moment for Hulk to show he's stronger than any peice of tech.

BUT, if it's not there, it's no biggie. -shrug-

For Iron Man 3, I think the IM2 formula is best: one specialty armor, one new armor. The specialty armor is great for an early action sequence. The Stealth Armor, I think would be the coolest, as far as an action sequence, cuz lets face it: there's a reason the underwater level always sucks.

What would be cool for his new armor, inspired by the Extremis would be there are several armors he's working on, something with nanomachines (extremis) some bulk armor with big rockets (Hulkbuster), some deep sea diving armor, and then at the end, in order to deal with mandarin, he just combines it all together into one epic Mark X suit, flies up into space and takes out the Mandarin's sattelite, who knows, maybe it's called Fing Fang Foom?

Why would it be cool to see Stark get beaten up?

[Fudgie]

Why would it be cool to see Stark get beaten up?

Every hero should get a beat down. Spider-Man did. Batman looks like he's going to get one in Dark Knight Rises.

[deathknell3000]

Every hero should get a beat down. Spider-Man did. Batman looks like he's going to get one in Dark Knight Rises.


Yes but you're leaving out the part where the hero comes back stronger and wins the next time. Is that what's going to happen between IM & the Hulk?

I don't think so.

[DrCosmic]

Why would it be cool to see Stark get beaten up?

Because 1) It establishes that the favorite hero on the squad is not capable of handling the new threat level on his own, validating the entire movie. 2) It establishes Hulk as 'the strongest there is' so that he can properly serve his purpose as the plot hammer. 3) It gives Tony a chance to have his 'I can't do it on my own' arc within the film, since he's the only one, other than Hulk, who's used to running solo.

Yes but you're leaving out the part where the hero comes back stronger and wins the next time. Is that what's going to happen between IM & the Hulk?

I don't think so.

Yeah, Tony is going to come with the team spirit of the entire Avengers, and not only order Hulk around, but use what he's learned in his character arc to whomp on whatever Loki throws out... as opposed to just showing up to win every battle and make us wonder why bother having the Avengers if Iron Man can handle it all.

I don't think the plot will end up being like this.

[DrCosmic]

I don't think the plot will end up being like this.

Yeah, I don't know about all that team spirit stuff, but you can bet money that Tony Stark won't be able to handle things on his own, otherwise, it won't be a good movie, and there's too many good creators involved to let that happen.

It's possible, for instance, that Tony Stark will have a smaller role in the film, on account of RDJ's going rate, so he won't need to be 'humbled' per say, since he won't be there to dominate half the time anyway.

They do look very similar, but it seems like the mark IV is slightly thinner and has a brighter paint job. That's all I can really see.

Also, SHH just posted VII:

[DrDoom]

I think it would be cool if a hacker got into jarvis and took control of all his empty armors. then have a battle between Stark and all the empties.

[MarvelKnight]

The Hulkbuster Armor does look like Juggernaut lol. I would like to see it at least in passing at some point in the Avengers.

Stealth Armor should definitely be the feature armor in an IM3 assuming they use Ghost.

[Rylvan]

Stealth Armor. Dark gray, or matte black. Sleeker, more streamlined and aerodynamic than his other armors. Like a Boeing Phantom Ray, or one of those other stealth combat drones the USAF and DARPA are working on.

[DrCosmic]

^Agreed. Stealth as his specialty armor, and an Extremis-inspired Mark VIII as his climactic pwnage armor.

[Hunter Rider]

Stealth is the one I really want to see, and it fits with the espionage direction Black said he was going in with the movie.

[Rylvan]

I hope, if they do use the Stealth Armor, that it won't be heavily armed. As Tony develops more and more gadgets (like those one-shot lasers) it would be nice to see him in at least one fight where he has to rely more on his wits than his guns. And it would be more realistic.

Then when he finally dons his Mark VIII climactic pwnage armor, it'll be even more badass.

[Webhead38]

I hope they make his armor look a little more like his bronze era design. While he's had variations in color and slight alterations in design, I think the current look is getting a little bland. I would like to see him get that classic widows peak on his helmet and a different design in the mouth.

[DrDoom]

JUST HOPE THEY DONT GIVE HIS HELMET THE "HORNS" THAT HE HAS HAD IN THE PAST

-DOOM :doom:

[Lead Cenobite]

I hope they make his armor look a little more like his bronze era design. While he's had variations in color and slight alterations in design, I think the current look is getting a little bland. I would like to see him get that classic widows peak on his helmet and a different design in the mouth.

I don't see them ever going simpler. The modern designs are an attempt to retain the bronze age look while giving it a more armored appearance, less realistic musculature, fewer curves, more angular.

[Mako]

SuperHeroHype has confirmed that Shane Black's Iron Man 3 will feature the red, white and blue Iron Patriot armor. What is uncertain, however, is exactly who will be wearing it.

The armor made its first appearance in 2009's "Dark Avengers" #1. Following the events of the "Secret Invasion" crossover, Norman Osborn was mistakenly heralded as an American hero and tasked with leading a group of government-sanctioned Avengers. Taking the technology from Stark Industries, Osborn designed his suit to represent the then-recently-deceased Captain America.

Because the character of Osborn is a Spider-Man villain and the rights rest at Sony Pictures, it's pretty much a certainty that a different character will be donning the suit in the upcoming film.

Now in production in North Carolina, Iron Man 3 stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce, James Badge Dale, Ashley Hamilton and Jon Favreau. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on May 3, 2013.

Still hoping to see a Stealth suit but don't mind this as long as it's Tony wearing it.

I personally like the Iron Patriot suit when it's more red than blue, but hopefully it looks good on-screen.

[Gold Samurai]

It might be possible that we're also looking at the mark 8 armor but in a different color scheme of course

The helmet has a different design now

[Sawyer]

lol looks terrible.

[The Infernal]

I seriously doubt that's Iron Man's new armour. Also, I think it's good to keep in mind that's a blurry spy pic and clearly the full costume will be cgi'd in, much like they've often done with RDJ's Iron Man armours for the films.

[Eggyman]

It'd look better more red than blue. I'm not liking it and I'm trying my hardest to see it as it'll appear in the film.

[Iron-Fan]

I personally like the Iron Patriot suit when it's more red than blue, but hopefully it looks good on-screen.

This design looks very much based on Captain America's movie-costume. :word:

[The Infernal]

It'd look better more red than blue. I'm not liking it and I'm trying my hardest to see it as it'll appear in the film.

From the looks of it it's definitely going to be way more blue than red. It seems they've changed the red shoulders, helmet and top half of the chest piece to blue from the comic version.

http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/4/45/Iron_Patriot_Armor.jpg

Here's a mock up of the Iron Man movie armour in an Iron Patriot style. Maybe that will give an idea of how it could look on film. Though maybe someone should colour it to match the movie version more closely since it's clearly in the comic versions colour scheme.

[JB-the-Hunter]

lol looks terrible.

Here we go judging set pics again... as always

[Venom 1988]

To me the color scheme seems more akin to this armor from the Civil War What IF? one shot with the blue being the more dominate color.

The Iron Patriot armor is awesome. Can't believe people are ragging on it (not here but comment sections on certain movie blogs). Oh yeah that's right anything that has America on it must be decried as awful and stupid.

I like it. :up:

Though that's just in the comics though. It seems there's another possible character merging going on. People claim the guy in the pics wearing the armour is the guy who was reportedly cast as Coldblood (not a big name character I gather). So it could be someone else under the armour, but it's hard to tell with very few facts at the moment. It's mostly conjecture.

I've got a feeling the America suit is just a tribute to Captain America in some way.

[Ironfan72]

You know, looking at the armor, anyone notice the shoulder mounted gun, wonder if its a repainted war machine, maybe the US military is using War Machine as a USO kind of thing, just an idea.

[The Infernal]

Yeah, lots of us have been speculating it's either the WM armour remodelled or they've made more based on WM design. Looking at the set pics (and what is present of the armour) and some WM pics it does look like they share more similarities than with the IM armour.

[souNdwAve89]

Here we go judging set pics again... as always

Agreed. I remember thinking Captain America's outfit was horrible on the set of The Avengers, but actually seeing it in the movie changed my mind. I didn't think the outfit was too bad in the end with the editing and movie magic.

If you thought that was b***hing then you should have seen the Cap boards before TFA. I think some people were determined to turn them into a star-spangled imitation of the Bat boards. lol

Tell me about it. You remember the 'futuristic belt buckle'? A couple of tiny differences in a couple of concept pieces drove half of the board to try and convince the other half that there was a modern Captain America costume in TFA. lol

Me, too.

[cherokeesam]

I've got a feeling the America suit is just a tribute to Captain America in some way.

Clearly. But what sort of tribute, and why?

It's without doubt based on the Iron Patriot design. Identical. But Iron Patriot is obviously an entirely different (and unusable) character ffrom the comics (i.e., Norman Osborn) that was done as an homage (parody) of Cap, who is (was) dead. *This* armor is done as an homage to a Cap who is still very much alive in the MCU, so the backstory behind the design has to be entirely different than Osborn's.

And with this clear reference to Cap, makes me wonder how they'll be able to do it *without* actually including a cameo by Cap himself.

Would love to see Cheadle have to do an War Machine USO tour in the movie

[storyteller]

I think the color is simply because the IP armor from the top is red. It could be easily mistaken for Iron Man in action. The comics got away with it by having Iron Man be mia for the duration. But movie wise I can easily see the audience mistaking him for Iron Man if the two were on screen together or in trailers. It's one of those reasons why War Machine is black and white.

I can easily see that being that case as to why the IP is now mainly blue instead of red.

So it does look like the armor is going to be more gold than previous versions. Also, it's kind of funny that he has one finger that's gold and the rest are red; so we could always call it the "Goldfinger" armor.

The armor itself looks pretty freaking sweet, but the colors are just a little bit... off. They really nailed it with his look in IM2 (I'm even cool with the triangle) and especially in Avengers. Maybe it will look different on screen?

[guitarsingerguy]

It's definitely strange. The gold is almost...a camouflage tone. It might grow on me, but for now I just don't know.

[Evan Drew]

The more I look at those images, the more I think it MIGHT be incomplete, color-wise. With the rumors of Iron Patriot, would someone want to re-image a pic, changing the 'gold' sections to blue and white?

While I trust them to make even this color scheme work, something just seems off.

[Webfoot Hero]

It's definitely strange. The gold is almost...a camouflage tone. It might grow on me, but for now I just don't know.
Maybe the parts that are beige/cream colored will actually be metallic gold. The concept art made it look shiny and metallic so I'm hoping it will match up to the film version.

Even if the chest segment was red I think the distribution would look better.

[Jexx]

Ergh...

I'm not gonna lie, the new suit is throwing me for a loop. Way too much gold..

Hopefully this is a suit that only makes a minor appearance and isn't the official suit of the movie.

Iron Man: Mk III
Iron Man 2: Mk VI
Avengers: Mk VIII

[Tony Stark]

I understand people's complaints about the color of the gold, but I don't understand the "too much gold" argument when IM had a gold suit in the comics. Maybe it's the gold as a primary with the red highlights?

Anyway I think the suit looks pretty freaking cool.

[Jexx]

I think the suit actually does look really cool, it's just that the shade of gold is kind of iffy. I think it would even be more well received if it looked more like the shade of gold that the armor normally had.

But ultimately, I think the chest piece should of been red, that would of fixed my problems with it.

Either way, it'll probably look better in the movie, usually does. Can't wait for IM3 and Winter Soldier.

EDIT: I also don't actually read comics; although I want to get into them..

[DarkJester]

I think if they just made the mid-section red, it'd be pretty acceptable. For example:
http://i.imgur.com/RJpnQ.jpg

Nothing fancy, just a quick color swap, but it immediately looks better imo.

Of course, in action, the suit will most likely look better anyway.

What works in the comics doesn't necessarily work in live action...

With that being said it's growing on me, I like how techy it looks with the exposed circuitry.

If the gold on the suit is more metallic in the movie like it was in the concept art, which I'm sure it will be, then I'll like this suit even more.

[Scarlettess]

I agree with a bit more red either on the chest, or the mid-section would make it flow better. I don't think it's the fact it too much gold, it's that the back has more red than the front, kinda unblalances the whole thing. Ah well sure it will grow on me.

[JKKS085]

I for one like that champagne color with a matte finish.
I still think that the overall design could have been more evenly balanced but at least they took some risk.

[craigaat]

Never read an Iron Man comic in my life so I'm unsure whether a suit like has been used before (it's actually a part of him now?) and I'm not one to nitpick, but that suit looks dumb and the idea is dumb.

[Lady Marion]

I agree. Like the shape and colors, very 'bleeding edge' -but i'm just so used to seeing more red so for now it looks odd to me

[Spider-Who?]

I like to be pretty accepting of changes these movies make and the inevitable artistic licensing therein, but good lord is that an ugly suit. Swapping the dominant color from red to whatever hell that's supposed to be just seems like change for the sake of it. Never mind that the "gold" - tan, really - is just an ugly color plain and simple, and doesn't read well with the red. What were these guys thinking? To me, this isn't even a matter of differing tastes, this suit is an utter failure. It's a shame.

[Gold Samurai]

I'll go with the theory it's incomplete

All that gold on the Mark 8 could make sense. No time to paint it since his workshop is destroyed. He quickly suits up in the prototype and runs away.

It's a running gag for Tony to quickly get into the final suit of the movie

Mark 6- Not completely painted

Mark 7- ""Cut the spinning rims"


"Avengers 2" will probably have the Mark 9 painted and with shoulder pods. This armor appears to have gotten rid of them.

[marcvader]

The design itself looks good I think.

[Tony Stark]

That could very well be true. He's clearly working on this armor in the "birthing room".

Again I think this may not be the Extremis armor, as it seems like he's working on this early on. I think Extremis may be something that is physically attached to him somehow.

With what's been described at Comic-con, he's clearly trying to find out how to more quickly suit up in the armor. It started back with the Mark V suitcase armor, and continued in avengers with the Mark VII being able to deploy and remotely attach to his magnetic bracelets, and now we see him working on armor that flies across distances to attach to him.

The next logical step is for Tony to have the armor part of him at all times, which is what Extremis was about. Well, I guess it was about having the under armor physically attached to him, but he doesn't wear "under armor" in the films.

[Jexx]

Nano-tech! Dun, dun dun dun!

[Avenger]

I like the new design. And while the gold looks a little bland IRL, I think it'll look fantastic on-screen.

[Sockin]

Considering that this armor is introduced during the beginning or middle of the movie, I highly doubt it's the armor that he ends up wearing at the end.

[marcvader]

We don't know this. I'm thinking this is the final suit. The suit in the IM3 promo makes me think that was the suit in it.

[Fudgie]

I think it's the final suit, too.

Just did my own quick little edit on this image and got:
http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n533/Levi_Steinbock/editIM3.png
I think its much better with just those changes

[Ash Talon]

At least it looks different than the previous armors. The previous changes, with the exception of the mkV, were too slight in my opinion. At least this is a radical departure. I like the roundness to some of it, and it does seem a bit streamlined in its size.

Like everybody, I think the gold is too dull. Maybe when he powers up, it becomes brighter, like some anime mecha.

[Ash Talon]

And IM only had the all-gold armor in the comics for about a year or so. They quickly moved away from it. But like I said, it's different. If they stick with it (Marvel seems to like making its comic versions synch up with the movie looks), a mainly-gold Iron Man may be popping up in the comics and become the new norm for his look.

It's different, but in time, I may grow to like it.

[Boom]

The more I look at the suit, the less I like it.

Coming from someone who was open to the idea of having more gold on the suit, this is way too excessive.

[DrDoom]

ESPECIALLY AFTER HIS COMMENT IN THE FIRST MOVIE ABOUT ALL THE GOLD BEING "A little ostentatious"

-DOOM :doom:

[Webfoot Hero]

The main thing I hate about the new suit isn't that it's mainly gold; it's that the gold looks like a creamy beige instead of metallic gold. When I think of the MCU IM suits, I think of metallic gold. I'm hoping the suit they showed as SDCC was either a version that Stark only wears in the early part of the movie or it's an unfinished model they put together quickly before getting the metallic gold done so they'd have something to show off for their panel and exhibit.

[catintheengine]

I have the sneaking suspicion that, in the movie, it's unfinished. The paint job didn't get wrapped up or something.

We already know that the mansion gets blown all to pieces. Maybe Tony has to skip a bit more than the 'spinning rims' to get out in time.

[DrDoom]

I DOUBT THAT THEY WOULD BRING OUT FOR DISPLAY AT COMIC-CON AN ARMOR THAT IS ONLY PARTIALLY COMPLETE IN THE FILM.

-DOOM :doom:

[Gianakin_]

That is one ugly suit. I can't believe Shane Black of all people approved this. sabetoonth's colouring is lightyears better than the official one.

[catintheengine]

I DOUBT THAT THEY WOULD BRING OUT FOR DISPLAY AT COMIC-CON AN ARMOR THAT IS ONLY PARTIALLY COMPLETE IN THE FILM.

-DOOM :doom:


Why not? If the armor he uses in the film never gets the final paint job, what are they to do? Just not let us see the armor at all?

[DrDoom]

They wouldn't have written it in the script where he doesn't put on the finished version of the new suit at all, that just doesnt make any sense.

That suit, like it or not, is the completed look for THAT version of the armor.

[Hypestyle]

what about the black/gold armor that they're showing now?

[Gothams Reckoning]

I think they made this suit how it is because people pressure them to have entirely unique suits every movie, and that makes it difficult to stick to the basic suit that everyone came to love and become accustomed to

[Juicy J]

I trust in Marvel. They haven't let us down yet, and I actually think the suit's pretty cool looking. Different, not what we were expecting, but it's still cool looking.
Going gold is a bold move and I think they'll pull it off.

[James_Smith]

I don't know what everybody's problem is with the new armor. Personally I love it (and with the colours, you really can't trust what was seen in the comic-con pics, because it's specifically tailored to the cameras used for filming, just like Spider-Man and Captain America's new suits were, and both of them turned out fine in the movie).

[MarvelKnight]

I don't got a problem with it, I would like to see the stealth armor though.

[third3ye]

The blingy gold suit revealed at SDCC is the Mk42, not the Mk8. Based on the designation, this will probably be the final battle suit for the film. I don't like the design either, but from what I know (and both the early concept art and the SDCC footage confirms this), the Mk42's unique features should make for some good cinematic eye candy and hopefully more creative action sequences.

I'm also inclined to believe we'll see a lot of the suits in between the Mk7 and Mk42 in action for the final battle, so there'll be plenty of other suit designs on screen to distract the audience from the excessively gold Mk42.

[C_Carmichael]

Referred to as "42" in AEMH, it was the 42nd idea that Tony Stark, Reed Richards and Hank Pym came up with.

[DrCosmic]

http://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel/i/mg/2/30/5001a0d8d3242/detail.jpg

As long as they 'earn' the gold by making it a side effect of some cool storyline where everything changes and the story works best if the suit matches that, I'm find with it. I don't think it's attractive in its own right. It actually seems a bit busy, and not just textured with tech, if that makes sense.

Haven't heard any of those rumors, but it could be very well be Mark42. If the story is that he loses everything (and sets up his move to New York) it would make a great deal of sense if he fabricates a bit ol' armory of Iron Man suits only to lose them all/have to blow them up.

[N0v1K]

The Hulks always a wild card, they could easily work in that fact in the sequel. Maybe he starts to not trust the Avengers or thinks they are working with "puny Banner" to get rid of him.

imagin: tony talking to fury and he tells him he might want to step back, tony walks over to a masive metal michine, you cant tell what it is at the moment, it takes up the whole screen. he pats banner on the back and says its time to suit up: test run! banner walks past fury and says to him test run and stands next to him. tony steps in to waht looks like a cockpit, overhead door closes like his face plat and the massive armor rises up. he goes through a few lines of testing the interface. and then looks at baner, tony says "i said suit up" and aims at banner. fury looks at banner who shrugs saying this wasnt his idea. fury then turns to tony and as he steps toword him tony fires hitting banner into a conex. the hulk roars from inside the conex and tony says time for the real test.

That's gotta be an Avengers issue. It would be quite a way to 'twist the knife' with Stark and Banner's relationship.

If the hall of armors are destroyed say half way through the movie, and Tony is left with only the armor we see him dragging through the snow at the end of the trailer, I guess there wont be a appearance from the Stealth armor. :csad:

IDK. I believe it will appear. I think it will be among the 40 unseen armors.

My theory about this 40 armors thing is that Tony has a secret garage/warehouse filled with armors.

This garage/warehouse was a place where he stockpiled prototypes of his various armor concepts (like the ones we saw in holographic form during IM2) as well as backups of his first 8 armors (explaining how the Mark II is back in the HOA like it was never weaponized and turned into WM) and, after his home/main garage is destroyed and he loses everything, he regroups there with Rhodey to repair the Mark XLVII armor and to equip the prototypes/backups with the remote control/Extremis tech we saw him using on the XLVII in the trailer.

[Nave 'Torment']

wait i'm still a bit confused with the suit-chronology...

IRON MAN

mk1 = Afghan cave suit
mk2 = prototype silver = WAR MACHINE = IRON PATRIOT (?)
mk3 = "Hot-Rod"

IRON MAN 2

mk2 as WAR MACHINE
mk4 = Streamlined hot-rod (coz mk3 was destroyed at the end of IM1)
mk5 = Brief-case suit
mk6 = Triangle-Arc

AVENGERS

features mk6, with the triangle core, and then he suits up with the old mk4? It'd make sense since Thor also goes back to his "old suit" so to speak, from his film during the invasion.

IRON MAN 3

mk2 as WAR MACHINE is remodeled as IRON PATRIOT
mk4 since he's been using it since New York
mk7 = Gold-plated / Extremis-suit

Help me out here! :'(

[Llama_Shepherd]

The suit he uses in Avengers is a new one.

So in Iron Man 3 the suits would presumably be:

Mk. VII (First appeared in Avengers)
Iron Patriot (Supposedly first appeared as MK II in Iron Man)
& Mk VIII (Gold plated/Extremis[first seen in Iron Man 3])

You're right, Mk.7's the one we see at the end of Avengers, I suppose it was made to endure more firepower while featuring that mid-air suit-up mode that I think wasn't in the previous ones? Design wise there's little difference tho. And I think Mk.7's no longer functioning after the Chitauri attack.

Evolution of the Iron Man armor

http://cdn1.screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/Iron-Man-3-Hall-of-Armor-Mark-I-VII.jpg

Mark I is easily distinguishable, nothing more to add to that (except maybe an extensive comparison with Iron-Monger)

http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080502235305/marvelmovies/images/4/42/IronmanMark1b.jpg



The Mark 2 suit is the silver, and I'm guessing has the same features as mark 3 except for solving that in-story "icing-problem," making it an ideal ground-suit. But I think, as with most of the updates from here-on out, the feature for this was that it was streamlined and was capable of flight as well, though probably lacking all the greater fire-power that the next suits have at this point.

http://images.wikia.com/earth199999/images/4/49/Iron-man-superbowl5.jpg

Mark 3 is essentially the last one with a different alloy to withstand better flight. It's got more fire-power, is connected with the "Seraphim satellite" (???) and arguably more durability. But design wise, it retains the basic designs save for the hot-rod red and gold colour-swap with Mark 2:

http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/f/f7/Iron-man-mark-ii-superbowl.jpg

(I'm looking at the pattern on the arms, the chest, and the mid-section)

In addition, of course, Mark 3 masters the flight and has those brilliant flaps to keep this grounded in reality:

(also, yes I wanted to post more pictures :D)

[Nave 'Torment']

With Iron Man 2, we have Mark IV, V, and VI:

http://www.linuxuk.org/images/iron_man.jpg

Story wise, I suppose he had to update to Mark IV because Mark III was totaled by Iron-Monger.

http://sharelike.me/image/pics/ironman3movieissetonmay2013Pics18k9Ji4Fe4Nb7M.jpgh ttp://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oyR7Z_6GaHM/TCIVhKVEiaI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/k_FBdhZ-zbQ/s1600/IM2_MarkIV_PR1.jpg

It's more streamlined, the arms are redesigned, the mid-section has those three "dots," and the legs are also more like the F-22 raptors rather than circular mech-legs. I think they intentionally made the design on his mid-section resemble the comic-book superhero "briefs" look but maybe I need to stop staring at the armor's crotch so long. :oldrazz: And heck, I guess this is the "playboy suit" since most of what we've seen Tony do in this was a) sky-dive off the plane to attend his party, b) get poisoned, c) get drunk, and also loses big-time to Mark II before being shelved. I like the design tho.

Mark V, like the original, is distinctive for being the "brief-case" suit:

http://toydirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Hot-Toys-Iron-Man-2-Mark-V-suitcase-armor-mms-scale-figure-1.jpg

And of course, with the end ofthe film we have a redesign with Mark VI, the triangle-core:

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GIchwvJ-aNk/S-SQcyJxO3I/AAAAAAAAQMc/c_7Jaii8HpM/s800/Iron+Man+2+armour+costume.jpg

Design wise the only thing they seem to have changed was the chest; everything else is essentially Mark IV.

[Nave 'Torment']

Then we have The Avengers, and in addition to the triangle-core Mark VI, we have Mark VII:

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120225083246/marvelmovies/images/9/99/1185ironmanavengers.jpg

In addition to a few major changes to the leg, this one's got more thrusters:

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120225083455/marvelmovies/images/0/07/Iron-Man-launches-himself-at-Lokis-hovering-ship_gallery_primary.jpg

And has a mid-section that's different from the previous ones:

http://cdn1.sciencefiction.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/avengers-iron-man-robert-downey-jr.jpeg

What makes this one work is the fact that the gold is more distinctive on his helmet and arms, the silver on his legs gets rid of that "underwear red" I was talking about earlier, and the chest-piece and arms make it somewhat similar to the Mark III suit from the first movie. Added feature: you can put it on while air-borne! Had more durability, and was perhaps the ultimate battle-suit since it took a nuke in another dimension to turn this off. I'd say Tony ascending to the highest point in the cosmic order in this one makes, on some levels, transcendental.

[Nave 'Torment']

And now we have Mark VIII, the Extremis suit for the upcoming feature:

http://comicbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/iron-man-3-concept-art.jpg

http://cdn.amctheatres.com/Media/Default/BlogPost/movie-news/Iron-Man-3-Extremis-Armor-Suiting-Up-Pose.jpeg

I can't be the only one who loves the new lighter gold, it just makes it seem so much more like what you'd expect from a real-life suit, I had no qualms with the previous ones but this just stands out as something distinctive on its own. At first I hated it, it looked like someone pooped on Tony's suit, but the final product on the film looks so much better.

[Nave 'Torment']

Also, Tony really makes love with it. Literally.

http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt114/xeno0000/GIFs/GIFs2/IM3_screenshot2.jpg

(let's just call it the rape-suit, or the kink-armor, or Mk.Narcissist, or maybe I'm thinking of a self-indulgent joke that I can't articulate at the moment.)

[Gold Samurai]

AVENGERS

[Hunter Rider]

IDK. I believe it will appear. I think it will be among the 40 unseen armors.

My theory about this 40 armors thing is that Tony has a secret garage/warehouse filled with armors.

This garage/warehouse was a place where he stockpiled prototypes of his various armor concepts (like the ones we saw in holographic form during IM2) as well as backups of his first 8 armors (explaining how the Mark II is back in the HOA like it was never weaponized and turned into WM) and, after his home/main garage is destroyed and he loses everything, he regroups there with Rhodey to repair the Mark XLVII armor and to equip the prototypes/backups with the remote control/Extremis tech we saw him using on the XLVII in the trailer.

Interesting theory, wasn't it said that Tony would wear more armors in IM3 than all of the other movies combined?

I enjoyed your run through of all the armors and I agree, the Mark VIII it looks awesome onscreen.

[TheAQU4M4N]

I'm hoping we get another armor during the movie.

[Drummerdude7]

For everyone's clarification, the new suit is the Mk XLVII (47), not the Mk VIII (8).

[Spider-Fan83]

so where are the other 40 suit's

I wonder if that includes the recreates of the original suits.. . we pretty much saw each of those suits destroyed in the movies they appeared in,so he obviously remade them for display/back up, did he still just call them by their originally designated titles of mark I-VI, or are those now considered VIII-XIV...?

[TheAQU4M4N]

I want to see the Triangle Arc again, i think thats what made IM2 a really good watchable movie.

[raze3003]

I have to agree I didn't like the new suit when I saw it . I said let me see it in action first. Then I saw how use it in the trailer and I love the new suit now I can't wait to see the other suits now.

[QuantumBane]

I like Mark V the most.. .

[The Sage]

Mark VII is my favorite. Not huge on the reverse color scheme of Mark VIII.

[TheWiseGuy487]

so where are the other 40 suit's

It's funny, because in a description of the SDCC footage, Pepper says the same thing, and Tony just smiles. :woot:

Mark VII is my favorite. Not huge on the reverse color scheme of Mark VIII.

Mark XLVII, actually.

[raze3003]

Two questions here. Who all seen the comic con footage I haven't i would like to though. Second anyone else notice that his chest piece is a different triangle shape then it is in iron man2 and the avengers

[Kiltman]

I would assume Stark/Avengers Tower could be making or I guess already made all the other armors and has them housed. But I'm hesitant to think Tony would go back to New York. But if he has extremis (however exactly they use it) and can control them I suppose he could call them to help when he goes into the final fight with Athe Mandarin & the ten rings wherever in the world that will be.

My mistake. 40 suits created since Avengers? Geez.

[MarvelKnight]

If there is 40 armors created, Do we see a version of a Hulkbuster? I hope so. I really want to see Stealth armor though.

[Webfoot Hero]

My mistake. 40 suits created since Avengers? Geez.
After the alien invasion, maybe Tony got a little paranoid and just started designing suits for any and all situations. It mainly just sounds like he designed a whole bunch of drones that could be worn if necessary.

[Spider-Fan83]

I've thought of that, but I just don't see why he'd give a bunch of Drones the titles of mark VIII-XXXIII (unless each have a different design, even then you'd think drones would be given a different title and not be included as the "Mark" series), and name his newest main suit that he uses mark LXXVII

I guess, I could see that he might've started to design specialty suits for every situation (which he later reprograms to work as drones)

[mynameschris]

It could be that after the Avengers, and tying in with his mental state from what he says in the trailer, Stark starts building more and more prototype suits to make Iron Man better to protect "the thing he cant live without".

If the current prototype doesnt match up to his expectations instead of being used as the current main suit until he builds another he instead scrapped it and moved onto another idea.

Would explain why hes at a high version number but yet the last suit in the "Hall of Armors" is the Mark 7 from The Avengers, which is likely the suit he is still using up until this point.

[MarvelKnight]

Well, his house does get blown up. I wouldn't be surprised if all the armors are somewhere else. In a bigger hall. Stark/Avengers Tower in NYC for instance...

[metaphysician]

My own theory is that blowing up Stark's house is not about crippling Stark forever; its more about halting Stark's ability to fight back *now*. The fact that Stark has resources and equipment elsewhere is irrelevant, if he has guys with guns trying to kidnap or kill him and/or Pepper *right here*.

[Mr. Stark]

For the love of god can we get a Hulkbuster? Even just for show.

[kaijunexus]

For the love of god can we get a Hulkbuster? Even just for show.

YES. I'd love to see Pepper or Rhodey strolling past a massive Hulkbuster suit and make "what the hell is this thing" look or remark to Tony, who just smirks and offhandedly says "a contingency plan..." before quickly moving the conversation to something completely different as he so often does.

[Gold Samurai]

I think we'll see the Hulkbuster in Avengers 2

Someone manipulates Banner into turning into the Hulk. Stark flies in with the hulkbuster to contain hulk.

[Matarreyes]

I am genuinely curious about this widespread need to see the Hulkbuster armor. It looks incredibly stupid to me on the pages of the comic book, and it seems offensive in the movieverse where Tony´s respect for Bruce and his understanding and faith in the Hulk was an ongoing theme and a treat to watch.

His respect for him wouldn't be an issue if Hulk had became unstable for some reason, the Hulkbuster armor would merely be a contingency plan for a worst case scenario.

at some point we need to see: arctic/ice armor, volcano armor, deep-sea armor, stealth armor, radiation armor.

[Matarreyes]

To each his own... I kinda think it does. The embodiment of "size does matter". Why would a bigger suit be stronger than a little suit? The beams and the repulsors would be the same, or Tony could install more powerful repulsors on a suit of his own size. Why does it have to be Hulk sized and Hulkaniform (humaniform?!).

And anyway, would not distracting the Hulk by (for example) flying around him until he tires and calms down is a better and more clever strategy than beating on him and fuel his rage?

Yeah, I know. Comic books: better not to overthink them.

Because the larger suit with more layers would provide more protection from hulks blows. Hulk could rip his normal Armors to pieces. No mater how strong his repulsors are it doesn't help his defenses. It kind of reminds me of the Phoenix on the Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 game. The Phoenix/Dark Phoenix has the highest damage in the game, but if she screws up and gets attacked by any heavy hitter, they could kill her with one well placed combo.

http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/3336/55213441945371142363565.jpg

If they do chose to do Hulk Buster armour then I would love a design like that. However with where they left Hulk as a character in Avengers, I'd be fairly sceptical of them needing it. Though saying that, just because it's HB armour, doesn't mean it has to used against the Hulk, especially if that Masters of Evil rumour is true. I would love to see Iron Man try and go toe to toe with Abomination.

If only Fox could make the Juggernaut that look like that armor. :csad:

Yeah, I wouldn't mind a Juggernaut on screen that had a similar build and armour shape.

[Hunter Rider]

Has there been any recent incarnation of the Arctic armor in the comics?

[Hunter Rider]

http://s11.postimage.org/r4sp92hk3/hulkironman.jpg (http://postimage.org/)

[The Infernal]

Can't say I'm aware of any instance, but then again I don't read them regularly. I did a quick google image check and saw that the cartoon has an arctic armour, which I would, at a guess say is the most recent instance of its use. It doesn't strike me as one of the more popular or requested armour features.

I could easily see an arctic or thermal feature just being a standard design feature in the average Iron Man armour (especially after IM1) rather than a suit specifically designed for the arctic (or upper atmosphere or whatever). They could just have bits of the normal armour plating pop up a bit to show a few red lights to signify its thermal capabilities.

Edit: Nice find on the art. Really good pic. However, I prefer the design of the armour in the previous picture. With that one I can see why some people may have problems with the design. It would look good in a comic or a cartoon, but the other pic looks like it's been updated/adapted for the big screen.

[Juicy J]

Am I the only one that thinks the hulkbuster armor would be a tad to much?
Like it's cool in the comics but it'd be another thing entirely to put in a movie. I just think it'd be a little ridiculous.
And yeah you could say 'well sure a guy turning big and green when he's angry is ridiculous' but you get what I'm saying here, I'm just skeptical of them being able to properly translate that into a movie.

[The Infernal]

I think the picture posted by DrDoom is a design that feels believable in the MCU. It doesn't strike me as particularly beyond anything they've shown in the movies so far and seems to fit the style of previous armours. We've already had large suits in the IM movies themselves with Iron Monger and arguably the drones (which weren't meant to be drones) and Whiplash's armour was quite large itself.

And that's not counting the stuff in Avengers.

There's always someone that says that about anything in a Comic book movie. When its all suppose to be fantasy anyway. One of the reasons for Marvel Studio's success is that they don't run away from there comic properties like lets say Fox does.

That's a fair point, given how high tech Tony's armor is there really isn't a reason he couldn't have a thermal feature or indeed a feature that allows him to go underwater built into his regular armor.

[Matarreyes]

Aaaand to steer the conversation away from weird bulky suits and onto current ones: do you guys think Tony will be controlling his suit with his mind or through some tech parts installed into him?

To make myself clear: is Extremis something that messes with his brain (making him able to talk to computers), or something that messes with his body (like his bracelets in Avengers, but installed under his skin)?

I know the answer in comicverse, and frankly it does not make an ounce of sense, and I hope they really polish it for the movie - maybe tie in with JARVIS, IDK.

Hulk is never going to just a hero as the very nature of the beast is to ride the line and that's the compelling tragedy of his story.

It would be a sequence not a cameo, Tony donning it once to restrain Hulk within the movies story.

I'm with ya there. I mean, I still think of Ironman as Red and Gold. I am not a fan of the new armor still in this movie. Though it's probably just to distinguish it as extremis, if you will, opposed to just word of mouth, so that it's recognizable. Considering ALL of stark's armors in the MCU look similar to the extremis suit, in a way.

[Just one more]

Nice.

On a side note, the domed head on the HulkBuster armor does look a little silly. I do see however how it would help prevent Hulk from just ripping off IM's head. Much more difficult to grip.

Pop Vinyl Figures has a "Deep Space" Iron Man figure, I have never seen that suit in the comics, It may have somthing to do with GOTG and Iron Man.
