Iron Man is underway as evidenced by the first few pictures to sneak online last week. Now there’s an actual picture of the armor making its way around.

Now this isn’t the red and yellow armor most people associate with Iron Man. Before there was the polished look there was the grey suit that Tony Stark fitted together from parts while he was a prisoner of war. That’s this outfit and it looks brilliant. It’s clunky. It’s awkward. It’s definitely piecemeal.

Iron Man isn’t one of my favorite Marvel heroes. Tony Stark is too opportunist and less noble than I typically look for in my heroes, but I have to admit this picture gets me a little excited. It looks like Jon Favreau has the right idea in mind for this movie.

Typically I’d leave the image on the site I found it (in this case I saw it at AICN first, who claims to have gotten the image from an anonymous scooper), but many different sites are running the image so we will to. Click on the little image below to see it bigger.
