IRON MAN 2: Awesome Alternate Designs For Whiplash's Mark I And Mark II Suits Have Been Revealed
Some newly surfaced Iron Man 2 concept art has been revealed and it puts the spotlight both on Whiplash's makeshift armour and the suit he donned in the divisive sequel's final act. Check it out here...
Iron Man 2 hit theaters in 2010 and while it was followed by THOR and Captain America: The First Avenger, the movie's main focus was to set up The Avengers. As a result, it drew the ire of many fans as it was a very busy movie which attempted to juggle a lot of balls. It dropped some too, particularly on the "Demon in the Bottle" arc and it didn't do a particularly great job with its lead villain either.
Played by Mickey Rourke (an actor who has since disowned the sequel), Whiplash was fun to watch in action but the sequel let itself down by repeating what had come before when it put him in an Iron Monger style suit for the final act. Now, we've got our hands on some concept art which reveals alternate designs for both costumes worn by the villain and how the final versions were created.
These all look great and it's fair to say that Whiplash could have ended up looking a lot better if some of Marvel's talented concept artists had had their way just like with War Machine and Black Widow!
