I have to tell you, this is by far the BEST design of Iron man I have ever seen. Better yet, this image is attached to the up coming Jon Favreau Iron Man movie. Ok, I say upcoming because its slated to kick off the summer of ’08 and I am already excited about it. The only bad part is, its not the final deal.
…some costume ideas that were rejected by the folks making the movie, but not necessarily because they hated them. In fact, according to ScreenRant.com, even though they liked the design, and “…in some cases it paralleled what they were doing, it did not fit in with their overall direction. They’re wanting to go in more of an Adi Granov design direction.
So they didnt reject this design because they are planning on doing something radical. They are not going to make a stupid looking Iron Man, or change the look completely =cough=Megatron=cough= so the purists can exhale.
Adi Granov has a cleaner, less detailed version of this design that they want to use. Personally, Id like to see it overly detailed as a “real” suit of armour that permits a man to fly and shoot EMP bursts from his palm would look like.
