Jon Favreau, director of the upcoming comic-inspired Iron Man, told SCI 
FI Wire that he was nervous about bringing the first footage from his 
movie to fans at Comic-Con International in San Diego, but was pleased 
by the rapturous response it received on July 26 and 28. The footage, 
featuring a battle between Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), clad in the 
"Mark 1" iron battlesuit, and guerrilla soldiers, was the first glimpse 
ever of Favreau's movie-in-progress. The footage also revealed the first 
glimpses of the red-and-gold "Mark III" Iron Man suit and a final 
visual-effects shot of Iron Man in even more sophisticated armor, flying 
with F-22 fighter jets.

"With this title, Iron Man, most people out there in the world, when you 
say 'Iron Man,' they think it's a Black Sabbath song," Favreau said in 
an interview at Comic-Con on July 28. "This is the only place where you 
could come, and everybody---all 6,500 people in there---know who the guy is, 
what he stands for, what the movie better do or not do, and what the 
pitfalls are from having seen other books adapted in ways that they 
didn't think was respectable or geared towards them."

Favreau said he knew that he'd have to come to Comic-Con sooner or later 
to run the movie by the fans. "I was like, 'Let's just show them what 
we've got,' and, fortunately, because of the Stan Winston suits that 
were built, we had a lot of practical, in-camera footage filmed, and 
[Industrial Light & Magic] scrambled to get those last five shots 
together so that we could show him flying and the high-tech version of 
the suit, too," he said. "We liked it, it played well, and we said, 
'Let's see if this dog hunts.' And we put it out there, and it worked 
out well."

Favreau (Zathura) brought along his stars, Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth 
Paltrow and Terrence Howard to Comic-Con, where he showed the footage on 
Thursday and on Saturday, one of the highlights of the convention, 
generating a lot of positive buzz among fans and convention participants.

"Ultimately you have to show them something that was worth waiting in 
line for and traveling all the way to Comic-Con and wearing a vinyl suit 
and putting on face paint," he said. "You know what I mean? ... It's not 
an effortless endeavor to make it into Hall H at Comic-Con. ... And 
they're putting up with a lot. They're waiting in a lot of lines, and 
... there's a lot of people there who are expecting more than they're 
going to see, so it was nice to give them more than they expected."
