Exclusive: Shepard Fairey Art in Iron Man 2



We just got an exclusive version of the artistic rendition of Iron Man, as seen in Iron Man 2.

It is stylized after Shepard Fairey's iconic Obama HOPE poster. Fairey did not design the Iron Man image in the movie, nor was he paid for it. He did, however, give his verbal approval of the piece appearing in the film, and said "All of the Obama HOPE spoofs, positive or negative, are a reminder of the power and importance of grassroots activism to affect things."

Iron Man 2 came out in theaters last Friday, and was the box office leader this week, receiving generally favorable reviews.

Video: 2 New Trailers - Iron Man 2 & Tron Legacy



We bring you two great trailers that came out earlier this week: Iron Man 2 and Tron Legacy.

First up is Tron Legacy, which brings updated CGI to some of the concepts from the first Tron movie. There are many recognizable elements that carry over from the first movie, and a dramatic reveal of Jeff Bridges at the end. And who can't get enough of him these days? Joseph Kosinski is making his feature film directorial debut with the movie, while the previous film director, Steven Lisberger, returns as a producer. Jeff Bridges reprises his role as Kevin Flynn, and Bruce Boxleitner his roles as Alan Bradley and Tron, while Garrett Hedlund portrays Flynn's now-adult son, Sam.



The Iron Man 2 trailer shows Robert Downey Jr. at his best - dry humored, narcissistic, and with his cocky swagger in rare form. The new Iron Man suit is also featured in the trailer, and it is shown off in some exciting action scenes. Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role as the inventory and industrialist, Tony Stark, aka Iron Man. He faces the new villain Ivan Vanko, aka Whiplash, played by Mickey Rourke. Gwyneth Paltrow returns as Pepper Potts, and another new character, Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow is introduced, played by Scarlett Johansson. In the trailer we get a glimpse of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. Jon Favreau returns as the director.




Let us know what you think of the trailers. Tron Legacy comes out in December 17, 2010, while Iron Man 2 hits theaters May 7, 2010.
