Odds are he's going to be a secondary villain anyway, if Kingsley really is the Mandarin.

Still

Cold blood?

It's not a bad name though.

they should have gotten Phillip Seymour Hoffman to play him as Truman Capote

Third villain, Firepower, apparently going to be added to Iron Man 3

Firepower and Cold Blood will not get along

Is it likely they'll just be henchmen for The Mandarin or something?

Marvel Characters, Disney Style:

I'm ok with some but not all.

Ya feel me? Though Deadpool...fucking Deadpool

Deadpool made me laugh in that pic.

Deadpool is violating Kitty's innocence.

Colossus violated that years ago.

Kind of shocked that people still remember Marrow.

Don't remember seeing her in anything since she appeared in an X-Factor arc a few years back.

That looks a lot like the X-Men Evolution style.

Iron Man 3 Movie Set Pic (villain):

Well...

WTF? how can they work that out? the character that wears that is owned by sony... soooo how can they use it?

I had this discussion with my nephew A week ago and Its been paraphrased on the Venture Bros. but Marvel really does come in second to DC in terms of badass villians IMO (keep in mind I am a comic book fan period therefore I have no real bias)storytelling and Character-wise I mean they have me actively reading Animal Man.

Perhaps a strange but sensible loophole like the Magneto kids. Think about it, would Osborne be allowed to use a Stark suit in the new Spidey trilogy? Like I mused about Magneto's kids, this setup yields the least questions in the mainstream eye, in the same way Witch/Quicksilver being in X-Men movies would be more acceptable than in an Avengers movie.

I must emphasize; 'in the mainstream eye'.

Fucking fuck! I'm happy to see any pictures from IM3!!!

Easy...Norman doesn't exist in this universe. They stick someone else in the suit. It's really not hard.

I like both companies but if anything..one of the most common complaints I hear about DC from fans and haters alike..is the crappy gallery of villains. With the exception of some, there really is not much going on. In Marvel, the villains are more legendary..often..being more popular than the heroes.

uuuhhhhh no not that easy. Norman Osborn is Iron Patriot. Thats like saying the same exact thing for green goblin or the venom symbiot

No it's not. Green Goblin and Venom are iconic villains in the marvel universe. Iron Patriot is an Iron Man suit that Osborn wore for a few months.

Not that big a deal.

Completely disagree.

First off, as far as storytelling goes, it doesn't matter if it's marvel or dc. That comes down to the writer. I do think it's easier to write character driven stories in Marvel, because that was the whole basis of silver age Marvel, and it still shows today.

I will give DC credit in that they typically do the big epic crossover better.

Most of the DC universe doesn't do anything for me, but there's a lot of Marvel stuff that sucks me in.

ok so spiderman wore an ironman spider suit for a couple of months so then they shouldnt have a problem using that on too?


and its not just the goblin who is iconinc, but norman is just as iconic and he IS the iron patriot

The Spidey Suit looks like Spider-man so it wouldn't make sense. Anyone can throw on the IP armor.

It doesn't matter how iconic osborn is, the Iron Patriot suit isn't. It wasn't even originally designed for Osborn. The suit first showed up as just some random Iron Man art, and like a year later they used it for Osborn.

If you seriously have beef with this, then you probably hated IM 2, considering Whiplash was actually an amalgam of Whiplash and Crimson Dynamo.

What Figgy and me are saying is the Iron Patriot armor showing up in an Iron Man movie makes more sense and causes less drama than, say, Norman busting it out in Amazing Spider-Man 3. Which raises more questions? Stark armor in a Stark movie or it being in Spider-Man, which would look strange no matter what the 616 history says.

And there's a underlying thread of patriotism in the MCU, where an Iron Patriot appearance would yield 'good' drama - if anything but for the countless Cap references RDJ can improve in a post-Avengers period. Norman as Iron Patriot would make Reavant and 14 others feel good but I tell you it would not work.

It's Iron Patriot here or not at all in movies.

Also, from a legal standpoint, the Iron Patriot Name and Costume probably has a separate trademark from Osborn, considering it was created after Sony aquired the Spidey license.

You gotta know when to bend for these movie adaptations, this much I learned since comic movies really picked up. Some mix-ups are blunders (Dr. Doom), others are fairly reasonable (Wolverine and Sabretooth established unambiguously as brothers in the XM movie-verse).

Also, that might not even be a villain. Might actually be stark making a promotional appearance ala the stark expo, and they made it like the Iron Patriot as a bit of fan service.

Certainly there were discussions, Marvel Studios isn't that sloppy. If Witch/Quicksilver is anything to go by, they're ready to avoid any legal missteps ahead of time.

And Sony more than likely has no interest in Norman's Iron Patriot stint with so much Spidey history they can draw from for many more movies.

Yeah could be an easter egg deal. People aren't even sure if the guy in the pic is an actor or a stuntman. And I found it weird that they would actually have an actor in a fully armored scene, which is what that scene looked like.

Looks like it's only from the waist up.

Speaking of Norman Osborn... I hope that if he shows up in any Amazing Spider-Man sequels, they find some way to adapt his ICONIC hairstyle into the movie.

Plus besides comic fans, who knows of Iron Patriot? He was just a brief alter ego.

He has mo-cap tags on his legs, guess they'll be in post.
