Those of you following Marvel Comics in the last few years will be familar with the Iron Patriot. A redesigned suit of Iron Man armour with a colour scheme to envoke the memory of the then deceased Captain America, it was piloted by long time Spider-Man villain Norman Osborn when he held the mantle of America's 'Top Cop'. Now it seems the Iron Patriot will be jumping from the printed page to the big screen, judging from recent pictures from the set of Iron Man 3.
Due to the rights of all Spider-Man characters belonging to Sony, Osborn won't be piloting the new armour, the rights to which belong to Marvel Studios since Iron Patriot made his debut in an Avengers comic. Instead that honour falls to the recent announced James Badge Dale, even though his character, Eric Savin, is best known as a completely separate character called Coldblood. This development has me all sorts of intrigued, and I can't wait to hear more.
