Iron Man Super Bowl Commercial Shows Off Stark's Hot Garage

UPDATE: The official Iron Man Super Bowl commercial! Apparently it's not just automakers like Hyundai and Chrysler with money to burn this Super Bowl Ad Watch weekend. Nope, it's also the movie industry — it looks like Iron Man will be getting some love in a commercial airing this Sunday during the big game. Apparently, judging by this screen capture of the ad in question, we'll get some shots of Tony Stark spending some time testing his suit in a garage filled with all sorts of hot automobiles. We already knew about the Audi R8, but apparently Stark's also got himself a Cobra, a Saleen S7 and lookie-here, a Tesla roadster. Nice job, Stark — now we know what the "Whitestar" project really was all about, don't we? That's right — a hybrid powertrain for the Iron Man booster rockets. We knew it. Anyway, we'll have the official commercial up here online just as soon as it airs this weekend to add to the original Iron Man commercial — just follow along at our Super Bowl Ad Watch tag and feel free to hit the jump to make the shot above bigger than life.

QOTD suggestion: Based on garages alone, who would you rather be Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark?

For me, Bruce. Murcielago (spanish for bat mind you) owns any R8.

Ray - I love you buddy, but the major studios have you by the short and curlies. Transformers was disappointing and now you're going to be all up in Iron Man's shizzle because of a car pr0n shot. The JFG pwns that garage, anyways.

Speaking of which, whither the JFG writeups and nominations now that Leaverman (thanks POLAR!) has...leaved?

You know, if i had a garage like that i don't think i would test my experimental ROCKET BOOTS in it.

But then, Stark always was a bit crazy.

I was all prepared for Iron Man to be a lame whitewashed boondoggle but I'm getting more fanboy by the month.

As much as I love the R8, Tumbler FTW. Now if we toss the ironman suit into the equation, I'd much rather go with stark's setup :D

@PeteJayhawk: JFG owns the Ironman one for one reason only: The inclusion of the 928.

Why does the movie need a commercial for the superbowl? The movie isnt due out until May. Looking forward to it!!!

@simpsons-movie-ruled: the same reason everyone wants an ad during the Super Bowl. because it's pretty much the biggest tv audience advertisers get all year...

and i would definitely take Stark's garage over Bruce Wayne's... i'm not a huge fan of that Tumbler, and the Saleen has way more vents (and horsepower, if it's a turbo) than the Murcielago...

If he uses them as driving shoes it could cause some issues. Wonder what he uses for that burning foot sensation

That IS bigger than life, thankfully in my world everyone is 3 inches tall.

@wingbatwu:
That one on the far right looks like one of Zero's bikes, but it's hard to tell from this angle.
Zero Chop
I'm not a huge fan of these prefab choppers that are all the rage with the kids these days, but Zero is a very talented young man. Oh, but I am a fan of iron man, and RDJr., and I can't wait to see this.

Hollywood = the only industry in the world where you can be a drug addict, overdose multiple times, goto jail, promote a cult, etc etc etc, and nobody gives shit until you have a movie that bombs.

And then everyone forgets.

@corvette_thunder:I'll take the 928 over the R8 and Murcielago any day. Seriously if money was no object right now, I would go out and get a cherry 928 before I got the others.
