Synopsis: Billionaire Tony Stark, previously one of the world's most imaginative weapons defense technology creators, decides to retire from weapons manufacture.

He then begins to build more agile and powerful versions of the suit, and uses it to fight crime as the Invincible Iron Man!
Could this be the helmet used for the upcoming movie?? Judge for yourselves, I thought it looked cool, so I posted it on here.
The June issue of Cinescape has an exclusive interview with Iron Man producers Don Murphy and Avi Arad, as well as screenwriters Alfred Gough & Miles Millar. Several new bits of information were revealed in the article.
"In Iron Man, he's putting on a suit of armor that protects his heart – I totally get it," says Murphy. "To me it's always about, 'Can I see it as a movie?' So Iron Man works for me because of that very reason. He's not going to be Superman turning back the world. It's believable stuff." Writer Gough concurs, adding that "the intriguing thing to us [Gough & Millar] was (Iron Man's alter-ego Tony Stark) has an alcohol problem and he needs the suit to stay alive." Millar finds Iron Man to be "a very unique character in terms of he's not a teenager struggling with a superpower. ... he's like the Howard Hughes of superheroes."
Gough believes that Iron Man is "a very relevant sort of thing to be doing somebody who's basically a weapons manufacturer in this world situation we're in. And also, it's global. It's not a guy protecting one city; it has a James Bond-meets-Tom Clancy feel. That's our approach." The interview's biggest revelation was provided by executive producer Avi Arad. "Iron Man is about a kid whose father was bigger-than-life and he felt like, 'What's in it for me?'" explains Arad. "Then he loses his parents and never got to say a kind word to [his father] like, 'Dad, I admire you and I love you and I didn't mean to be an [expletive]."
Alfred Gough recently sat down for an interview and had this to say: "Iron Man's coming along well. We're sort of knee deep in that. Now that we have the hiatus, Miles [Millar] and I pushing forward on that. New Line is excited and Marvel is excited. And we're very excited to be writing that. Tony Stark is a great character and, certainly given the world events as they are, Iron Man is also a very relevant character as well."
A news report from both IGN Filmforce and Aint it Cool News suggests that Leo Decaprio is the leading candiate for the title role in Iron Man. Dicaprio has NOT been offered the role, yet. He is simply on top of the producer's wish list.
