Just about anything involving IRON MAN 2 seems to be very newsworthy these days. This week we’ve got two new posters to show you. The first (above) is the final domestic release version. Mickey Rourke’s “Whiplash” character is strangely absent, though he made it on the international version. I still wish they’re go beyond the Photoshopped heads and really incorporate a sense of comic book-style artwork with these campaigns. But hey, I don’t run the studio. Then there’s a special “Black Widow” character poster that’s being distributed this weekend at WonderCon in San Francisco (wish I was going this year). Scarlett Johansson is looking good here.
Anyone want to pick me up a few of these at WonderCon?

Last but not least, if you haven’t seen it, check out this TV spot, which features a few alternate shots from what the trailers have given us so far. You’ll get a little more Black Widow here (without any hint of a Russian accent for some reason), and even a shot of good ol’ Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. Can’t wait for this one.

You think they filmed the doughnut shot just so Sam Jackson could say “Sir!” “I’m gonna have to ask you to exit the doughnut!”?
