New Trailers! Iron Man 2 and Tron: Legacy

As the snow starts to disappear from the ground and people are more frequently leaving their coats at home, the Hollywood marketing machine is ramping up promotions for the summer’s big releases.

For the last few years, the summer movie season has been commencing earlier and earlier, and one could make a convincing argument that it has already started for this year. Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is out and making beau coup bucks at the box office. With its April 2 release date, Clash of the Titans won’t be far behind, and then it all begins to snowball, with everything from Iron Man 2, Robin Hood, and Prince of Persia to Shrek Forever Ever (really?) all releasing in May.

With that in mind, there are two new trailers online that have been almost as eagerly anticipated as the films they’re here to advertise.

First up, an explosive new trailer for Iron Man 2, showcasing more of…well, all the elements that pretty much guarantee this movie will be a big barrel of awesome when it hits on May 7. (See it in HD here.)

Next, the first genuine, full-length trailer for Tron: Legacy. This preview is the result of several months of viral marketing and was only recently decoded and put online. It’s our first real glimpse at the shape of the story as well as some really cool visual effects. Tron: Legacy debuts December 17. (You can check it out in HD here.)
