I'd have to say this looks much better

[–]1arrow24 29 points30 points ago

Needs more red

[–]megatom0 101 points102 points ago

Still not a fan of the gold armor. Also how did we get all the way up to mark 47?

[–]DirtyMerlin 83 points84 points ago

Don't look into it. There's a mild spoiler involved.

[–]LeonHRodriguez 64 points65 points ago

[–]zeug666 15 points16 points ago

There is a heck of a list on Wikipedia, but they aren't all listed by mark number, especially not a mark 47 or XLVII.

And yeah, some of them seem slightly ridiculous, which is probably why Topless Robot did a top 10 of the most ridiculous.

[–]rabidllama 8 points9 points ago

"Knowing Tony, it had a corkscrew and bottle opener in there somewhere, too."

Hiyooooo!

[–]Muezza 3 points4 points ago

The Hulkbuster is one of the cooler armors...

[–]DrStrangeFate 0 points1 point ago

Yeah but it did shit in World War Hulk

[–]yourface1218 1 point2 points ago

I did look in to it, should have heeded your advice, but that seems like an awesome concept. I'll shut up now.

[–]Darth_Hobbes 0 points1 point ago

Would you mind linking for those of us who don't care?

Edit: Nvm, here it is.

[–]Deshi_Basara 18 points19 points ago

Looks more like Tony stole parts off some Florida resident's beige Cadillac. Might look better when post-production blows their CGI load all over it.

[–]God_of_Thunder 11 points12 points ago

On the same page here. Too much gold. A bit ostentatious don't you think?

[–]jtcglasson 12 points13 points ago

It's Tony Fucking Stark!

[–]Eevolveer 5 points6 points ago

Yes that is who he was quoting.

[–]jtcglasson 1 point2 points ago

... Well now I look like an idiot. When does he say that?

[–]Nobby_Nobbs 2 points3 points ago

First movie when he makes the Mark II.

[–]jtcglasson 0 points1 point ago

Haven't seen it more than once, and that was awhile back. Should rewatch so I know this stuff.

[–]fghjconner 0 points1 point ago

I think its technically the mark III he's working on, but don't take my word for it.

[–]Eevolveer 1 point2 points ago

In the first movie while designing the the suit he is talking to JARVIS that is how he responds to seeing an all gold rendering of the suit.

God_of_Thunder might not have been referencing that now that I look at it.

[–]Eevolveer 3 points4 points ago

better throw in a little more HotRod-Red.

[–]Insertwords 3 points4 points ago

Well, IIRC, stark (in the comics) has a ton of versions of his armor in reserve for certain needs, as he's rich, a futurist, and because he can. There are several (half-assed, in my opinion) times where they just have all his armors do a beat down on a tough bad guy.

[–]tintits 30 points31 points ago

They'd go mad for this in /r/moviesinthemaking

[–]xiaorobear 2 points3 points ago

It's already there, don't worry. It was in the comments of another Iron Man 3 photo.

Rumor has it that the "Iron Patriot" armor is a reskinned War Machine. Source

[–]Tr0llzor 14 points15 points ago

Everyone thinking Iron patriot is trying to knock off Capt. America or that its Tony.....jus do research cmon http://marvel.wikia.com/Iron_Patriot_Armor

[–]Naggers123 11 points12 points ago

"Hey Captain America - I just made something that invalidated your entire existence. Daddy loves me more."

[–]JaronK 14 points15 points ago

Except I don't think Marvel has the rights to Osborne, since he's part of the Spider Man set. So they might have changed a few things.

[–]HawkeyeSucks 6 points7 points ago

They don't, since Sony still hold the rights to all things Spidey. Can't remember the name of the guy wearing the Patriot suit in this, but it has been mentioned. Pretty sure it's a new character.

[–]its-about-to-go-down 0 points1 point ago

Its James Rhodes tony Starks military friend.

[–]Piker10 7 points8 points ago

actually i think its meant to be James Badge Dale's character Eric Savin.

[–]ninjames 1 point2 points ago

DING DING DING. Freaking James Badge Dale is everywhere these days.

[–]YouListening 1 point2 points ago

Just be glad it's not Joseph Gordon Levitt. That dude gets his ass around.

[–]ninjames 0 points1 point ago

I actually like both actors and would love to see them in even more films. Not that they have a packed schedule already... lol.

[–]YouListening 0 points1 point ago

I don't mind JGL either.

[–]HawkeyeSucks 6 points7 points ago

War Machine. Different character entirely, I'm afraid.

[–]its-about-to-go-down 0 points1 point ago

I know they are two different characters however marvel dosnt own the rights to Osborn so Cheadle gets it http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=68086

[–]HawkeyeSucks 1 point2 points ago

From what I'd heard/read previously, they were sticking someone else inside the Iron Patriot suit to act as a villain. Doesn't mean I'm right, just going on news from way back when.

Checking IMDB reveals that Don Cheadle is credited as James Rhodes/War Machine. Although who trusts IMDB as of today?

[–]its-about-to-go-down 0 points1 point ago

I assumed that Rhodes was going to be war machine just painted like the iron patriot and they would only.reference him as am iron patriot similar to how they called him war machine in number 2.

[–]Tr0llzor -1 points0 points ago

its not Rhodes. It never will be. there are only 2 other people besides Tony who it could be.

[–]its-about-to-go-down 0 points1 point ago

Who?

[–]St-Moustache 4 points5 points ago

Well, that's a big step up from 'suspicious onlooker'.

[–]dermballs 0 points1 point ago

Weren't they going to include the Oscorp building as a easter egg in Avenger but the team working on Spidey hadn't finalized the design?

[–]bushysmalls -3 points-2 points ago

MARVEL doesn't have the rights to NORMAN OSBORNE?

How would that work, exactly..?

[–]CaptnAwesomeGuy 18 points19 points ago

Sony.

[–]Lampmonster1 17 points18 points ago

They sold the movie rights to a lot of their characters before they started making their own movies. That's why you see so many spiderman movies, if they don't make one in a certain amount of time the rights revert to Marvel.

[–]JaronK 7 points8 points ago

Four years is the time limit.

[–]stacecom 5 points6 points ago

Marvel Studios, the film company, doesn't have the rights because they were sold to Sony.

Also, they sold the X-Men rights to Fox.

[–]PatientZero001 2 points3 points ago

I though X-Men was sold to Disney along with the marvel name?

[–]CapWasRight 3 points4 points ago

Film rights and publishing rights are two very different things. Marvel owns all their own characters in print, obviously.

[–]Eevolveer 2 points3 points ago

No All of marvel is owned by Disney.Before Marvel planned on making their own movies, the rights to various characters(X-men, Spiderman) were sold to interested parties. The contracts usually require another movie with the charactar to be made every few years.

[–]its-about-to-go-down 0 points1 point ago

I think fox also has fantastic four and daredevil.

[–]CapWasRight 0 points1 point ago

The rights to Daredevil recently reverted to Marvel because Fox didn't start production on a new one fast enough. They have a few years left to make another FF movie, though (which I'm sure they'll do).

[–]bushysmalls 0 points1 point ago

I thought those Sony rights had reverted already

[–]stacecom 0 points1 point ago

They just rebooted the franchise this summer. They'll have it for some time.

[–]StrangeStrangeLuck 5 points6 points ago

They sold him like Uncle Tom.

[–]SonicFlash01 1 point2 points ago

MOVIE rights
Important word that everyone leaves out. Marvel owns everything but they sold MOVIE rights for several franchises elsewhere.

[–]ohdoylerulez90 1 point2 points ago

So then will Willam Defoe reprise his role????

[–]Xanthan81 1 point2 points ago

No.

[–]ohwowbeau 7 points8 points ago

Dania Beach! i was there... Redditors are everywhere and you don't even know it

[–]Asymmetric33 0 points1 point ago

Who would have guessed it with a such a small site with only 3 million registered users and 30 lurkers.

[–]BlackLiger 2 points3 points ago

A whole 30 lurkers? Wow.

[–]KittyKathy 0 points1 point ago

WHAT!? Are they still filming? Shit I an't believe I missed that.

[–]YetiBot 3 points4 points ago

Anyone know why the armor is gold now? And not even a proper gold but a muddy taupey gold. Why? Is it not Tony inside?

Judging from the comments here, dislike of the new color is pretty universal, so there must be a reason for the change, right?

[–]ramsay_baggins 1 point2 points ago

POSSIBLE SPOILERS

Guessing it's to reflect the appearance of Extremis? Purely conjecture.

[–]Nova178 0 points1 point ago

Doesn't really look much like the Extremis armor though, to me at least. There probably isn't an exact reason, just a new design. Or maybe because he'll be in the desert a good bit

[–]lostinsamaya 2 points3 points ago

Iron Man seems to have significantly less neck than Iron Patriot.

[–]jtcglasson 2 points3 points ago

Probably due to the actor's actual sizes.

[–]meowifuracat 0 points1 point ago

Where in Florida is this?

[–]Ebelglorg 0 points1 point ago

Is this how they'll tie spiderman in with the next Avengers

[–]Nova178 0 points1 point ago

No. Spider-Man will not be in any Marvel Studios movies until they get the rights back.

[–]SonicFlash01 2 points3 points ago

He's Vanilla Coke themed...

[–]imtiredofthis 3 points4 points ago

Iron Pat. is the sickest looking suit.

[–]Jonny_Axehandle 4 points5 points ago

I get the feeling colorblind people will have a hard time following these two fighting

[–]Cargussy 1 point2 points ago

The two in the picture? It's easy as hell to tell them apart.

[–]wemtastic 1 point2 points ago

Practical question, but pertinent question, I think. What do they do when they need a piss?

[–]CommodoreSlowpoke 24 points25 points ago

You should re-watch Iron Man 2. :-)

[–]racer_24_4evr 16 points17 points ago

There's a filtration system, you could drink it.

[–]NonKosherTofu 11 points12 points ago

I never really understood that too well, because he's seen often (if not always) wearing clothes under the armor. Does it somehow suck the piss off of his pants?

[–]TheLionHearted 1 point2 points ago

Catheter.

[–]iseeyoutroll 0 points1 point ago

More importantly: How the hell do they bend over or bend side-to-side?

[–]TheLionHearted 0 points1 point ago

I dont really know that they would need to, but Im certain that the plating around his obliques and abdomen is lamellar.

[–]QQHughes 2 points3 points ago

I'm kind of sick of Iron Man villains being other guys Iron Men. This also poses the question of who Iron Patriot will be, because in major continuity he was Norman Osborne (of Spider-Man fame).

[–]Ebelglorg 0 points1 point ago

I agree with your second statement

[–]WolfenDragoon 0 points1 point ago

contrary to what op says, that isnt another villan, its war machine (rhodey) with a new paintjob, I doubt we will see iron man 3 having another suit villain (like iron patriot).

[–]Nova178 0 points1 point ago

SPOLERS:

According to descriptions of the comic-con trailer, Mandarin has some sort of armor

[–]Accipehoc 0 points1 point ago

Iron Patriot looks dope.

THE MARK XLVII JUST LOOKS LIKE A WRECK.

[–]LeonHRodriguez 2 points3 points ago

I have a feeling that neither Tony nor Rhodey will be inside the Iron Patriot armour...

[–]AngryAtTheInternet -3 points-2 points ago

Really? personally i thought the original war machine looked way more bad ass now it just looks like second rate kids Halloween costume.

For comparison

[–]kevinbushman 0 points1 point ago

[–]Gonzephus 0 points1 point ago

[–]I_Saw_Drones 1 point2 points ago

Hold hands, come on... do it...

[–]tattybojan9les 0 points1 point ago

Is it bad that I would have preferred a sleeker War Machine than that Iron Patriot Suit? I'm guessing that the new armour is specified for some sort of use, but the Iron Patriot armour looks a little tacky... I would have preferred something like the Mk VII we saw in the avengers just with a few extra bits of firepower...

[–]Muezza 0 points1 point ago

It's suppose to be a bit tacky.

[–]littlecampbell 0 points1 point ago

Not the iron Patriot actually, the rumor was wrong. That's actually just War Machine with a paint job http://screenrant.com/iron-man-3-iron-patriot-war-machine-kofi-178150/

[–]LuperFlipino 1 point2 points ago

Anyone remind you of Kamen rider?

[–]ArtisticProgrammer -1 points0 points ago

Both of those suits look really bad. I used to read Iron Man a lot when I was a kid, and he had much nicer suits of armor than those.

[–]tries_and_fails 1 point2 points ago

That looks like a can of Diet Dr. Pepper

[–]JCelsius 1 point2 points ago

Colors aside, the armor looks stocky. Tony Stark built streamline, sleek looking armor in the past and that sense of some sort of fashion really lends itself well to the character. This armor just doesn't have that same appeal. Maybe it will look better in action or once the CGI brigade touches it up a bit. I'm not going to throw in the towel now on Iron Man 3 or this armor, but I'll certainly be keeping a more critical eye on the whole thing.

[–]mwhite1249 -1 points0 points ago

So I'm curious, does RDjr actually suit up for all these shots, or do they use a stunt double when his face is not involved? They'll do voice-over in any case so why use the real actor in every scene?

[–]nighthawk454 1 point2 points ago

Nope, all the suits are digital. Done by ILM. They tried using real suits in Iron Man 1, but they were too hard for RDJ to move around in. Plus they did a test and ILM's digital suit was so good that people got confused and thought it was the real suit (on footage, of course).

Source: Look up some behind the scenes of Iron Man 1 on YouTube

[–]michwest9 0 points1 point ago

Somebody better watch that black man. He looks suspicious.

[–]pythagoras_rex 0 points1 point ago

I like how they are are parked in between motorcycles as if tony stark is in some biker bar drinking with the local denizens

[–]okram666 -1 points0 points ago

"Iron Patrion"... Jebus... Hahahahaha

[–]MrWizzard 0 points1 point ago

The US Government took War Machine and gave him this stupid patriotic color scheme to boast to other countries about their military might.

Because, you know having a guy named Captain America wasn't enough.

If played properly we might get a good bit of satire directed at the US military or it might be more AMERICA cheerleading, which as an American, has grown somewhat tiresome.

I also think the new Iron Man suit is exciting. I'm glad that Marvel is letting them try something new and I'm sure once you get the CG in there it wont be as jarring as it is to most people. Plus, it gives Disney one more Iron Man design to sell at retail. So that must be nice.

[–]xfilmmaker 0 points1 point ago

So who is the Iron Patriot? Who's the character? Who's the actor?

[–]greenspartan10 0 points1 point ago

These are starting to look too busy. Needlessly more complex for the sake of having something new. So yeah, they look kind of like crap on a stick of dynamite.

[–]apullin 0 points1 point ago

Iron Man 2 was terrible

[–]mammaluigi39 0 points1 point ago

Ins't Norman Osborne(Green Goblin) the Iron Patriot, I remember at one time during the comics he designed his own suit based on stark's design and lead a team like the avengers.

[–]The_Crow 1 point2 points ago

Sorry. Is that "Mark 47"?

[–]wra1th42 1 point2 points ago

The gold one just looks awful.

[–]NBegovich -1 points0 points ago

Mk. XLVII? I can only assume this is some kind of spoiler, so I wish it wasn't right out in the open like this. Very uncool. (The Iron Patriot armor tickled me, though!)

[–]xyourmomx 1 point2 points ago

He upgrades the armors all the time, how is that a spoiler?

[–]NBegovich 5 points6 points ago

So forty new armors between The Avengers and Iron Man 3 isn't indicative of some kind of plot development?

[–]BlackLiger 6 points7 points ago

It is Tony Stark, his day consists of "Get harangued by Pepper to sign something, be bitched at by SHIELD about something, get annoyed, beat up Happy Hogan in the boxing ring, go design a new armour."

[–]NBegovich 2 points3 points ago

touché

[–]xyourmomx -1 points0 points ago

Not when you don't always name your armors in succession. In a lot of development, Not all Mark's make it to production... so a gap between is common. Say he didn't like how certain pieces were. Or it's just a name

[–]NBegovich 0 points1 point ago

Oh yeah, just like how in the first movie ended with him in the Mk. III armor but at the beginning of the second one he had the Mk. XXVIII armor and the suitcase one was called "Li'l Greg" because it's just a name. My mistake.

[–]xyourmomx 0 points1 point ago

Not sure if truth... or sarcasm, either way, have an upvote

[–]TheOneTonWanton 0 points1 point ago

Not necessarily.

[–]Xanthan81 1 point2 points ago

They showed it at Comic-Con.

[–]NBegovich -2 points-1 points ago

Oh, shoot. I knew I should have taken the week off and spent hundreds of dollars in airfare and lodging. Dammit. My bad, everyone!

[–]Xanthan81 2 points3 points ago

I did none of those things, yet I knew about it. Maybe try not being a dick and just keep updated on current events & maybe you would've seen it too. If anything, the only spoiler is the Iron Patriot armor.

[–]NBegovich -4 points-3 points ago

I don't follow most coverage because I try to avoid spoilers. Spoilers like the fact that Iron Man builds forty drones to fight the Mandarin.

[–]Xanthan81 2 points3 points ago

THAT'S A FUCKING SPOILER, DICKHOLE! The armor design isn't because you'll see it on the fucking movie posters & ads. It must be real fun to be such a fucking dumb fuck like you are.

[–]NBegovich -3 points-2 points ago

The name of the armor is a spoiler, and since it hasn't appeared on a poster or in an ad yet, then yes, it is a spoiler. This isn't that hard, kid.

[–]Nova178 1 point2 points ago

...Except it already has been used in advertising. There are officially released concept designs of the suit with the name given. Not a spoiler at all. Just a subtle hint to get fans more excited about the movie

[–]NBegovich -2 points-1 points ago

Will someone just show me the fucking article you all read, because I can't find it anywhere

[–]GooseBerryCrunch 0 points1 point ago

If stupid was marketable, you'd be flying off the shelves.

[–]NBegovich -2 points-1 points ago

I know the circlejerk is incredibly strong in this subreddit, but you idiots are wrong. If it hasn't been revealed in a trailer, it's a spoiler. Period.

[–]JakJakAttacks 1 point2 points ago

Too... much... gold...

stark should give an "Iron Patriot" suit to Captin 'Merica. he would be 3 times as badass. just flight propulsion & a shield or two though, we wouldnt want to over power the awsomeness of Tony Starks Iron Man would we?

[–]jtcglasson 0 points1 point ago

ink it's shown above that it isn't given, it's taken and in fact destroyed.

[–]cernunnos_89 1 point2 points ago

i diddnt quite understand your comment, would you elaborate for me?

[–]jtcglasson 1 point2 points ago

I think* Sorry, wireless keyboard and typing in a hurry. I meant above someone posted a link that showed N. Osborne took an older Iron Man suit, gave it weaker blasters and a new paint job. And it had been destroyed. Granted, canon is to Marvel what Batman is to politics.

[–]cernunnos_89 1 point2 points ago

thank you, for the clarifacation. and i didnt nkow about that, interesting.

[–]Suddenly_Something 0 points1 point ago

At least in the comics, the Iron Patriot suit is stolen and later on destroyed by Tony Stark.

[–]cernunnos_89 0 points1 point ago

really? iv got some reading to do...

[–]Joymachine 1 point2 points ago

But that might take away everything that makes Captain America, Captain America! aka the pinnacle of human athleticism!

[–]cernunnos_89 1 point2 points ago

I just really hope that they use (in this, or Avengers 2) the Hulk-Buster Armor or something similar at some point. A lot of the reason I love Iron Man is because of all his crazy armor types that he uses in the comics.
