Iron Man is the latest Marvel Comics superhero to jump from splash page to big screen. (The film is due May 2008.) Director Jon Favreau (Elf ) began shooting in March with star Robert Downey Jr. — in his first comic-book role — as the man inside the cybernetic Mark III suit (pictured) and Gwyneth Paltrow as his trusted assistant. In the film, Downey plays Tony Stark, a playboy industrialist who decides to don high-tech armor to fight baddies after suffering a life-threatening heart injury in war-torn Afghanistan. ''This is a decidedly adult superhero story,'' says Favreau. (Fanboy FYI: Look for Stark's legendary drinking problem to pop up in possible sequels.)
Faithful to the comics and constructed by Oscar-winning F/X maestro Stan Winston, the Iron Man togs — a far cry from Stark's normal black-tie attire — are robo-cool but make for restrictive, sweaty duds. ''Robert was very bullish on wearing the suit whenever possible,'' says Favreau of his star, who bulked up for the role. ''Now I don't know if he's such a fan of that idea.''
The Red and Gold has been revealed!

Yeah. I did that. Credit is due to EW since they were the actual site that posted it. Kept your stuff but changed the link and quoted the article. I hate SHH's condensed and mostly useless news posts.

Yeah, it's full blown cg. I'm less impressed by this, it's easy to build a cg suit. I'm looking forward to images of the actual costume like the MKI armor.

CG or not, that does look good. They mentioned a possible sequel; I wonder if War Machine will show up.

Iron Man is a jerk. Nevertheless this movie looks like it's gonna be good, and that armor is undeniably AWESOME!
I'd rather have a Tumbler though.
