How exciting and possibly a little confusing it must be to the uneducated movie watcher who maybe walked out of the theatre last month extremely satisified with Iron Man enjoying Robert Downey Jr’s portrayl of playboy/inventor/superhero Tony Stark immensely to only then see him pop up in a trailer for a new comic book movie which is out in a few days time.
But that’s exactly the kind of curiosity that will help Marvel in the future.
Wisely they haven’t promoted the shit out of it so far because that would only lead to fan dissapointment as he is only in the thing for one scene but adding the appearance in this one tv spot should get some people talking and may just help those who were sitting on the fence for this film prior, to be convinced to go and give it a chance.
The Incredible Hulk opens on Thursday.

This is exactly the kind of thing that made Marvel the king in the 60’s and 70’s, they tied all the comic stories together.
Yup-they are cleverly laying the groundwork and creating a buzz for The Avengers-first,they need to be “assembled” w/ individual films(Cap Amer,Thor,Iron Man, Hulk)-all the while establishing SHIELD and the on-screen Marvel Universe. Hopefully someday that could include Spidey and The X-Men, as well.
