Iron Man 2: War Machine Fan Art
Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on May 12, 2008
If there is one thing we love, it is speculation. But combine that with our love for movie fans and you’ve got a dangerous combination, leading to a sense of Reject euphoria that cannot be beaten. It is almost as good as seeing Megan Fox in nothing but pasties. But when we can’t have that, we will settle for some Iron Man fan art.
The image above was sent to us by FSR reader Diego. It is an obvious, yet still pretty slick photoshop job of what War Machine could possibly look like in Iron Man 2. Those who have seen the first Iron Man, which is quite a few people at this point, will remember that director Jon Favreau inserted a little homage to War Machine, a scene in which Jim Rhodes (Terrence Howard) looks at the Mark II suit that is hanging in Tony Stark’s workshop and says, “Next time.” For fans, he is hopefully referring to the next film, where he could very well take on the role of War Machine, a character that starts by helping Iron Man and ultimately ends up having a superhero career of his own.
When we spoke with Terrence Howard last year at Comic Con, he did mention that plans were in place for him to suit up at some point and that he was extremely excited to get into the role of War Machine. Unfortunately we didn’t see this in the first movie, but we are extremely hopeful for the sequel, which is due out April 30, 2010.

I think we will, but rather than him helping Iron Man he goes crazy. Whilst Tony Stark is battling alcoholism, Rhodes put on the Iron Man suit to take over but goes crazy as it wasn’t built for him. Then Stark uses another suit to bring him down.
But I think they should save that story for the third movie (which I’m guessing they are going to make as Marvel movies so far have come in 3s). Maybe Rhode’s deteriorating mentality could be hinted at in the second one as he puts on the the Iron Man mkII suit to help Stark fight the Mandarin.

Kinda hope they don’t fight the Mandarin. It worked in the comics I guess?
Let’s see something new?

Hopefully they change up the design a little bit when they get around to War Machine. This fan creation is pretty great, but the comic war machine also just looked like “Black Iron Man.”
Maybe they can snazz it up just a touch while staying true to the character. The fan image looks really good, especially the cannon.

we should see mandarin in the second film but he should be more of mastermind than a physical(or mystical threat). maybe also introduce a character like crimson dynamo or titanium man to be the muscle. imagine war machine and ironman vs. dynamo and titanium man!
