Iron Man trailer is iron, man

Funny thing about song choices you already know are coming is that sometimes they can still be awesome. That's certainly the case in the trailer for Iron Man below, since you see the Black Sabbath from a mile away but it's still sweet when the explosions hit and the guitars wail.

Jon Favreau (Elf) directed the upcoming film which stars Robert Downey Jr. as the titular character. From what's seen in the trailer, Downey Jr. seems spot on for the role and though the film previously sounded like just another comic adaptation cash-in, things now aren't looking half bad. The film is set for release on May 2, 2008.
