A couple of weeks after we Brits feasted our peepers on the explosion-tastic international one-sheet for Iron Man 2, our cousins in Johnny Yankland have finally got their own one-sheet to leer lovingly at in cinema lobbies, as well as a bonus character shot of Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanoff.
The group one-sheet is fairly different from the international one-sheet, in that there’s not even a hint of Mickey Rourke’s bad guy, Whiplash, who could be found walking menacingly away from an explosion in the international version. Instead, we get the standard floating heads – Robert, Don and Gwyneth – with a full-body shot of Scarlett (emphasising her butt) while behind them tower Iron Man and War Machine. But their positions have been switched from the international version, rendering it a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT POSTER!
Truth be told, we prefer the international version – it was more colourful, more dynamic and the decision not to focus on Rourke is somewhat baffling.
But – hey! - enough of us prattling on…here's the poster.

If that didn't address all your Black Widow needs, here's the US one-shot of Scarlett Johansson showing off her new red hair, black catsuit and cartoonish good looks.

And in case you didn’t know, Iron Man 2 – which this correspondent reckons could be the biggest movie of the summer – opens here on April 30. (And May 7 in the States – another thing we get ahead of the States. HUZZAH!)
