It’s Comic-con season and a lot of stuff is being announced like an abundance of surprises and most especially trailers. Now, since Iron Man 2 just finished shooting and probably won’t be showing a trailer at Comic-Con, Marvel has something else up their sleeve. It looks like Marvel is tapping into the Anime scene with various popular characters like Iron Man and Wolverine. Watch the trailers and see if they fancy your geekbone.

Personally, I prefer the Iron Man trailer. Not just because I’m a huge Iron Man fan, but because the Anime look has always worked well anything mechanical or armor related. Giving Wolverine the whole Samurai treatment felt off even if Wolverine did spend a lot of time wielding a sword in Japan. The huge turn-off in the Wolverine Anime was the appearance of Mystical creatures. Also, Wolverine’s attire just looks too silly in my opinion. It felt more like an Anime that was ripping off the whole Wolverine look. If Marvel is going with this, the Wolverine Anime seems disappointing since Anime has always treated violence artistically. The Wolverine Anime is turning out to be just a hack and slash Anime which are the types that could get boring if it wasn’t supported by a great story.

In case you didn’t know, Scarlett Johannson is Black Widow in the upcoming sequel for the 2008 smash hit Iron Man. Filming is almost wrapping up and this movie seems to be planning to be better than the first film in terms of action. With two rumored villains and the inclusion of Black Widow, this film has got to be more fun than the first one.

Along with Scarlett Johannson, the movie also stars Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell and Don Cheadle as the new Jim Rhodes. Robert Downey Jr. returns as the iconic Tony Stark with Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Pots, Tony Stark’s irresistable assistant.

Black Widow is a Russian superspy who has been part of the Avengers team every now and then. She is an expert martial artist and also an expert when it comes to handling firearms. She was once linked or has been in a relationship with Matt Murdock a.k.a. Daredevil.

Seeing the new image of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow seems a little off right now since Scarlett has always been for me an All-American beauty. Her features seem too American for my taste and I still don’t feel that vibe of her being a Russian superspy.  Hopefully, she could pull it off and not ruin my interest for the sequel to the great Iron Man film.

So far, all we need is a trailer and I truly can’t wait to see RDJ back as Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man.
