In previous Marvel panels at the San Diego Comic Con, Robert Downey Jr. has only appeared via video, but today, during the Iron Man Kids Costume Contest, the actor appeared to the surprise of many.
Good on you Mr. Downey! Let’s hope the media that were there allowed the kids to have their moment of awesome memory before they crushed them in the rush to get a quote and a shot.

So just how well did Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows do at the box office? Well, it hasn’t been released yet, and according to actions at Warner Bros. it doesn’t matter.
A brand new trailer for the upcoming Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows has arrived!
I really enjoyed Guy Ritchie and Robert Downey, Jr.’s take on Sherlock Holmes, and so must a lot of other people as the second movie is ready to roll out in December.
I expect with the success of A Game of Throne on HBO, that many movies, and television series will be adopting A Game in their titles over the next year. The brand new Sherlock Holmes movie poster has arrived, where we get the full title, and the release date.
Warner Bros. has released the first image from the December 16, 2011 sequel to Sherlock Holmes. The movie features Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law as Holmes and Watson, and new comer Noomi Rapace.
Guy Ritchie helms a new action-packed adventure, following the world’s most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.), and his longtime trusted associate, Dr. Watson (Jude Law), as they match wits with their arch-nemesis, the criminal genius Moriarty (Jared Harris).
Granted, it doesn’t look like there are any trains in this trailer, but it sure as heck reminds me of the classic Martin/Candy film.
Looks pretty good to me. Watch all the way to the end to see a kick-ass costume change.
Can’t wait to see this on release day.
Robert Downey Jr. stopped by the Hasbro booth at the 2010 Toy Fair currently going on in New York City, to show off some of the new Iron Man 2 toys arriving in the coming months.

The Los Angeles Times (yes, it is still around) has news that isn’t good for the Platinum Studios Cowboys and. Aliens movie. Robert Downey Jr. won’t be putting on a cowboy hat and fighting it out with visitors from beyond. Instead, speculators believe Downey is gearing up for a new Sherlock Holmes film. While Jon Favreau appears to still be on board, for now the Iron Man team of director/actor won’t be using their six shooters to stop and alien invasion.
While a sequel to Sherlock Holmes would be welcome, with the coming release of Iron Man 2, I can’t help but wonder if Downey isn’t saving himself for a third Iron Man film, or better yet, the Avengers flick. If Sherlock Holmes 2: Gaslight Boogaloo is greenlit, it would go into production in June.
James Cameron’s Avatar – because that is how it will always be remembered, took the top spot over the weekend, bringing in $75 million over the weekend. This makes the grand total for the film to date $212 million. The Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes came in second with a respectable $65 million. Being stuck in family mode for the entire holiday, I wasn’t able to travel to the local cinema to catch any movies, so I’ll leave it up the commenters to express their thoughts on the two films.
Marvel unveiled the first poster to the upcoming Iron Man 2 movie. It’s pretty cool as it features both Iron Man and War Machine, something fans of the sequel were hoping to see more of.
