A Tiny Dollop of New Iron Man 2 Footage
A new Iron Man 2 TV spot premiered over the weekend with a tiny bit of new footage. First thought — I assume we’ve heard Scarlett Johansson in one of the previous spots, but I just noticed she’s speaking without a Russian accent, which is probably for the best. Second thought: The fact that Iron Man 2 looks as awesome as it does and is still only the #3 movie I’m most looking forward to — after Scott Pilgrim and Tron: Legacy — means that this is an incredibly awesome year for nerd movies. I’m just going to sit back and enjoy this amazing fact for a moment.
