HOLLYWOOD x MARVEL COMICS STAYS WINNING…

starks

Did you fools hear that GhostFace Killah is being added to the cast of next year’s summer blockbuster movie ‘Iron Man’? This is the sickest shit in the world and that’s why Marvel stays winning at the end of the day. I would have been satisfied to see Ghost on the movie’s soundtrack, but to insert the wally champ into the film is a tip of the hat to the Wu Tang movement that always paid homage to the Marvel Comics legacy. Someone in the Marvel front office is smart enough to push the buttons that give their projects an underground, insider, cultural relevance.

Nothing was better than the scene in X-3 where the Juggernaut proclaimed, “I’m the Juggernaut bitch!” I was in a packed movie house in downtown Brooklyn when I along with about three other viewers yelled out the line in sync with the movie. That line was added late in the post production of the film, but still someone in Marvel’s administration was in tune with the alternate underground culture of young people and the internets.

The ‘Iron Man’ flick is still almost a year away, but images and details are slowly being leaked and even some of the costume details are floating around. Here are a few pics of Iron Man’s O.G. armor suit and a production still of ROBERT DOWNEY Jr. as he fabricates some of Iron Man’s more updated armor. Peep how dude is in a kitchen or someplace with an ample supply of Perrier and Voss artesian water. The TONY STARKS character was most definitely a baller. No way that dude is effing with cheap azz Poland Spring.

    Good shyt…You see Starks got the dope espresso joint in the back as well.

    Marvel will stay winning as long as they don’t allow Brett Ratner to direct another film.

    Ironman is looking good, so far, so good. Robert Downey Jr. should be great as a former alcoholic, besides he is a really good actor. Directed by Jon Favreau . . . I got my fingers crossed.
