    I think it’s supposed to look like the armor he’s been using recently but it’s not really accomplishing that look.

  2. Damo1138 says:

    Too much gold. not a good look if you ask me.

  3. ksaldana92 ksaldana92 says:

    I’m thinking they went so radical with the design because of Extremis. Otherwise, this kind of blows.

  4. Paul Montgomery Paul Montgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    I like it a lot. We’ve seen more traditional color schemes already and this is the kind of character who’d change up his look every now and then. Don’t understand the complaints.

    • ksaldana92 ksaldana92 says:

      Good point! Didn’t think about it like that.

    • y2kkev y2kkev says:

      The movie Tony Stark is different than the comic one. He’s a much more ego driven character no matter how much he grows in these films. A suit of Golden armor makes perfect sense.

      Besides, Thinking Tony Stark will only wear one suit of armor in a movie is like saying James Bond will only sleep with one woman,

    • ato220 ato220 says:

      I’m with you. I really the look. It’s something fresh. I can only hope the movie is as good.

  5. balsalm balsalm says:

    Looks incomplete somehow. Like all it needs is the paint job.

  6. TheMightyMEB TheMightyMEB says:

    Hmm… not loving it right now, but it’ll probably look great on the big screen. I’m not too worried.

  7. Is the second last one a woman’s suit? Could we be seeing Rescue in IM3?

  8. KillTheG1mp KillTheG1mp says:

    *rrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggllllllllllllwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww* sorry guys… I just puked! 0_o

  9. thepowerout thepowerout says:

    kind of looks like armor on top of armor? it doesn’t look right to me, anyways?
    the use of more gold could be to tie in with the armor that was used in that ‘new marvel’ page that appeared last week? would make sense, as i get the impression marvel are going to try and bring their comic and movie worlds closer together?

  10. cprevite cprevite says:

    I like the design a lot, but I agree there’s a bit too much gold.

  11. THEBRODYMAN THEBRODYMAN says:

    I really like the design of it. It looks smooth, and slimmed down from other designs. If they just reversed the color scheme of everything but the head I think it would be rad.

  12. Ainslo Ainslo says:

    As long as the film is better than Ironman 2, it could be pink for all i care. I didn’t like it at first, then i thought it looked good in 2 and look what that got us.

  13. thered thered says:

    the design is cool and the gauntlets are sweet but there’s too much gold on the front and the legs. the color scheme on the back looks pretty cool.

  14. wulfstone wulfstone says:

    looks like a half-painted plastic model kit

  15. I like it overall. Agreed that it could use some more red, I kind feel like those gold panels are covering up weaponry or are some sort of stealth panels. I dunno…feel like there is more under the hood

  16. Bonidex Bonidex says:

    Well, you can see he’s rich by the INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF GOLD in that armor… It’s different. Maybe with time, I’ll grow into it.

  17. I Dig. Those gloves are dopeness.

  18. zuper says:

    No one is going to care what he is wearing once they are sitting in the theatre next May actually watching the movie lol

  19. Bakhox Bakhox says:

    I like it. We get at least one new armor in every movie anyway, so why not do something a bit different and unique compared to the other armors? Not to mention it may look really good in motion.

  20. PraxJarvin PraxJarvin says:

    The back of the armor is pretty cool, the front’s not bad but there’s too much gold. There’s a reason gold’s usually an accent color. That said, it’s not all bad. But to the person who said it’s supposed to be the current comic’s armor, you win the Marvel No Prize. I think it’s supposed to evoke that, but that armor hasn’t looked good outside of the artist who designed it.

  21. I like the design, but there’s too much gold for me. Especially on the front; way too much gold.

  22. justinsayne justinsayne says:

    You guys realize it’s Tony Stark wearing this armor right? I mean the guy tends to be a tad eccentric, so it would stand to reason he would develop a new suit, with a bit more of a golden flair to it. I really don’t understand why so many people are complaining about it, I mean it could be worse, they could’ve also added nipples.

  23. StoreGuy says:

    Brave choice, Marvel. I wouldn’t have thought evoking the design of assless chaps would be how Disney would want you to go, but embrace the weird.

  24. Paul Montgomery Paul Montgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    I think there should be MORE gold.

  25. cromulent cromulent says:

    Panel in the rear that opens for pooping. Nice.

  26. bgavino says:

    Hmmm not a fan, too much gold. Maybe it will look better when we see it in action?

  27. Sherlock19 Sherlock19 says:

    I like it a lot. I really like how they are doing something really different with this one. I’d love to see some really crazy big and bulky heavy duty armor though………..maybe………something designed to take out a Hulk………….?

  28. itsbecca itsbecca says:

    Dat ass!

  29. neums neums says:

    It’s been bugging me ever since I saw it, but WTF is the third armor from?

    • PraxJarvin PraxJarvin says:

      Iron Man 1? There were three armors in the first one, three in the second one and a seventh appeared in The Avengers.

    • neums neums says:

      Yeah, but it’s just darker than I remember. Besides, that should be the armor he wore in 2, prior to the suitcase armor and triangle tri-beam.

  30. dix says:

    Hmm. I like that they’re trying something different, but I don’t like this design. Too much gold, like other people said: unpleasant to the eyes.

    I’d rather see a more significant design departure in the armor’s structure than a paint job. If they really want a very different armor I wouldn’t even mind seeing some permutation on the Ultimate Iron Man suit. They’re already pulling a lot of Ultimate stuff for some of the other movies.

  31. Gallowglass says:

    Looks good to me, a tad on the yellow side but not exactly a problem.

  32. Jamozk Ekhiss Jamozk Ekhiss (@JamozkEkhiss) says:

    As many people have said: too gold. Not enough colour, looks a bit bleak. Very nice besides that.

  33. Paul Montgomery Paul Montgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    Too much other colors besides gold! MORE GOLD!

  34. WheelHands WheelHands says:

    I dig it. It’s definitely very RDJ Tony. I really enjoy watching these suits evolve in both utility and form throughout the franchise. Though I do hope he sues the Avengers suit when the film opens. I kinda like that one.

  35. wulfstone wulfstone says:

    It’s Oscar statue Iron Man

  36. ShaunR ShaunR says:

    They should have went solid gold with this one!

  37. justinsayne justinsayne says:

    Could use a little less red

  38. Cavemold says:

    Needs more red but still pretty cool

  39. It’s his dulce de leche suit. And it’s very nice.

  40. neums neums says:

    I felt it needed a bit of a tweak. Let me know what y’all think…

  41. ScottE ScottE says:

    I liked it, and hasn’t he had 3 or 4 different suits in each of the other movies? So if you don’t like it I wouldn’t worry about it staying around that long.

  42. convoy83 convoy83 says:

    *shrugs* I’ll give it a shot, I didn’t think I’d like the suit case armor in iron man 2 but when I saw it in action I ran with it ok, I’m sure when its in motion I won’t pay one bit of attention to what the colors are.

  43. zenman zenman says:

    NOT a good look … just stick with the class design (which is not broken!) …

    this is another example of “creative” movie maker types thinking (from some ungodly reason) that they can improve upon the source material … does anyone remember Bat-Nipples? …

    what’s next? maybe a paisley cape for Superman?

    • RoiVampire RoiVampire says:

      the source material has had over 100 suits of armor over the years. It’s kind of the characters thing. what exactly is your complaint here?

  44. Mickey Mickey (@GeeksOfChrist) says:

    Leave it to Tony Stark to look naked in a suit of armor.
