'Iron Man 2' Voted MTV Readers' Most-Anticipated 2010 Comic Book Movie

by Rick Marshall


Well, that certainly wasn't much of a surprise. After we asked readers to pick the 2010 comic book movie they're most looking forward to, they voted "Iron Man 2" the overwhelming winner — but not all of the results were as predictable as Tony Stark and War Machine's victory.

In the end, "Iron Man 2" nabbed just over half the total votes, with Matthew Vaughn's "Kick-Ass" and Edgar Wright's "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World" each taking home 11 percent of the vote and sharing the runner-up spot. Both "Jonah Hex" and "Dead of Night" also had decent showings, with the latter receiving 7 percent of the total vote via a big outpouring of fan support and an active write-in campaign. (I'd accidentally left the Brandon Routh-starring film out of the poll.)

Read on for the full results and some reader feedback about the results.

POLL RESULTS
Iron Man 2: 53%
Kick-Ass: 11%
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: 11%
Jonah Hex: 8%
Dead Of Night (via write-in votes): 7%
The Losers: 4%
The Green Hornet: 3%
Priest: 1%
Red: 1%
Other: 1%

Bamf!: I wanted to say Green Hornet, I mean with Michel Gondry directing, it just feels so left-field and odd it HAS to be good, right? I'm also a big Edgar Wright nut and can't wait for Scott Pilgrim, but in the end it just has to be Iron Man 2 for me

Phear: Iron Man 2 is clearly a no-brainer here because of how amazing it's going to be. However, after reading the first 5 volumes of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. I honestly have to vote for it here because it's going to be amazing.

Bernsee: You didn't add the Dylan Dog "Dead of Night " movie that will be coming out in 2010. Should have made your list. I'm voting for that. Everything I hear sounds like it will be an awesome movie.

tralu: Man, tough choice between Iron Man 2 and Scott Pilgrim. Do I go with the suave, unstoppable cash-cow juggernaut that's bound to be good, or do I go with the scrappy underdog that has a lot of promise on paper but is still unproven? ...***** it. Scott Pilgrim it is!

BFisch: Iron Man 2, mainly because sequels tend to be very strong-they can focus off the origin and just jump right into the characters. Also, the new poster with War Machine looks awesome. However, I am excited for Scoot Pilgrim and Jonah Hex, but Iron Man 2 is really shaping up.
