Stan Lee himself said that Robert Downey Jr was born to play Iron Man. How can any reboot that comes down the line match that?

I would rather they let him go out in a blaze of glory rather than re-cast the part (unless they do some reboot years down the road - and why wouldn't they, eventually?). It's hard to imagine anyone else in the roll. All I know is, the way Iron Man 3 ended, your theory is a very real possibility.

Another thing - and I've been thinking about it a lot. Robert Downey Jr. said he's ready to take the suit off. Joss Whedon announced that bad, bad things will happen to people in Avengers 2. Am I the only person who thinks it'd be really awesome if they kill of Iron Man in Avengers 2? I have a strong feeling it's going to happen. I just do. With Whedon calling the shots, think of how great of a scene it can be and how epic he'd go out.

I haven't seen a movie in 3D since - The Amazing Spider-Man (and only because it was a screener I went to for free). In my opinion, 3D adds nothing (except to the cost of your ticket). Especially the post-conversion crap. But - it adds to the grosses for a relatively cheap cost and as long as audiences even somewhat support it, I don't see things changing.

I saw the film today and I enjoyed it. But I want to talk about something, and I really want to know you guy's opinion. It's about 3D. I did not see Iron Man 3 in 3D today. My brother saw it Friday night in 3D and said the 3D was dreadful. No surprise. 3D post-conversion is 95% of the time really, really bad. And it's quite obvious that the post-conversion is a gimmick and is done for the studio to take in extra dollars. But I'm really getting sick of it, and I think most audiences are too. Today when I saw it, 2-D screenings were completely sold out. Lines out of the theater doors. 3D was still available. And my observations saw a pretty tiny line to get into the 3D screenings. Everyone is seriously getting tired of 3D post conversion. It's totally unfair to!! It's extra money, it does nothing but distract you, and the quality of the film's picture becomes inferior. I love me a good 3D movie - shot in 3D - when the medium is used as a storytelling enhancement (Life of Pi, Avatar, Hugo, hell even Tron: Legacy I thought looked insane in 3D). Fuck 3D (post conversion).

How bit will this open over the weekend? It made $15.6 million off Thursday and Midnight showings (for those who keep track of numbers, The Avengers opened with an $18.7 million Thursday/midnight total). I guarantee it will hit the $150 million mark - but will it go higher? I think so - probably not Avengers big, but I don't think $170 million is out of the picture.

From what I've seen this is going to be head and shoulders above the second film and could even give the original Iron Man a run for its money. If the other Avenger franchise films turn out this good - that would be stunning (and welcome).

That new trailer was pretty insane. I have hopes for this, and really curious to see how it'll tie in with Avengers 2 (if it will - but, come on now, it probably will).

"Dark" and "edgy" Iron Man? I think it looks awesome.

Have you seen the teaser trailer yet? Thoughts, comments?I, for one, hope this does have more emotional punch than your average super hero film.
