Iron Man movie peek

Here's a peek at the gray Iron Man armor in the upcoming Iron Man movie by Marvel Entertainment. I'm assuming this may be either the armor Tony Stark builds while a captive in Afghanistan, or the second version, as the plot premise specifically states there will be 3 stages of armor development, with the third being the red and gold that we are familiar with. I think keeping to the comic history we'll see this armor, then the gold, before we see the red and gold.

The Iron Man Movie - Slated for May 2, 2008

Iron Man is a 2008 superhero film based on the fictional Marvel Comics character Iron Man. The film is directed by Jon Favreau and stars Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man. Also signed are Terrence Howard as Jim Rhodes, and Gwyneth Paltrow as "Pepper" Potts. The film is slated for a May 2, 2008 release.

Synopsis:

Since the movie is still in pre-production, this is what has been said thus-far: Tony Stark develops the three stages of the Iron Man armor, starting with "clunky, low-tech... diving bell armor" that he is forced to build in Afghanistan. Stark eventually updates the armor to a flying suit with the red and gold scheme and finally attains a "weapons platform" stage with the armor. Stark faces the villain The Mandarin.
