International Poster For Iron Man 2 Is Not So Thrilling

When we brought you the new US teaser poster for Iron Man 2 on Monday, it was our first true look at War Machine (at least for those that weren't at SDCC), had our two heroes standing back to back looking awesome, and was entirely bad-ass. Now we have the first international teaser, and boy, are you going to be disappointed.

Empire has released the below poster, and its real flaw is that it looks exactly like the Iron Man DVD cover minus the helmet. Sure, Tony looks pissed and ready to kick some ass, but the marketing team seems to be sending a fairly clear message: US gets the best, everyone else gets the rest. Check out the poster and compare it to the extremely simliar DVD cover below.
