Now like the Brotherhood armour the other week, this is FRAKIN EXCELLENT!
I would give my hind repulsors to have the time and the skill to make something like this. I've made plenty of fancy dress outfits and my own leather armour for LARP but this will likely always be a pipe dream.
EW.com gives us a first look at Black Widow in Iron Man 2:
Scarlett Johansson a Black Widow
The original Black Widow
I can't argue with the choice of the sexy Miss Johansson to play the spy/hero/femme-fatal but that hair looks a little odd. I hope it's not a sign of the franchise sliding into the artificial look that a lot of the lesser superhero films have adopted.
Did anyone thing Reed's gray sides look real or even the party wig that Storm wears in XM1?
USA Today has a first look at Mickey Rourke as the villain Whiplash in the upcoming Iron Man 2 film:
Whiplash in Iron Man 2 The classic look
The cape and ponytail are no great loss and Rourke now has an mean ex-con look with those tattoos and the orange jumpsuit. Fingers crossed, IM2 should be as good as the first.

The story is a re-working of the Civil War major event from 2006. When a super-related tragedy shakes the nation the heroes and villains of the Marvel Universe are forced to take side between Captain America and Iron Man over the new Superhuman Registration Act.
I've played a couple of the previous Marvel action/adventure games so I am fully prepared for that frustration point when my button-bashing fighting skills fail to get me past the end of level confrontation for the um-teenth time. But the graphics on this new version look great and re-working the excellent Civil War story gives the game a very strong narrative base, so I am very much looking forward to a playable demo of this one.
