The War Machine armor in the new Iron Man 2 movie poster is quite possibly one of the sexiest things I've ever seen.
Seriously, I thought the Granov-inspired design for Tony's armor was hot, but Rhodey's armor is even better -- it manages to simultaneously be very close to the original War Machine design and to blend perfectly with the aesthetic of Tony's Granov!armor.
It may possibly be sexy enough to overcome my annoyance at Terrance Howard being replaced as Rhodey, but I'm reserving judgement (and that casting inconsistancey would be seriously weird if you were a movieverse Tony/Rhodey shipper, I imagine).
Also, the poster is hilariously slashy, even to my Steve/Tony OTP eyes, to the point that it comes near to equalling the infamous Brokeback-style pictures of Steve and Tony that showed up on all those Civil War covers and double-page spreads and things. If someone hasn't already made it into a Tony/Rhodey icon, they should.

I think the movie needs to contain a scene in which dripping wet Tony and Rhodey take most of their clothes off in one another's presence. Just to conform to that period in 70s canon where Tony liked to strip naked in front of Rhodey repeatedly in a vain attempt to seduce him. (Okay, Rhodey's clothes generally stayed on in those panels, but in Hollywood, more nudity is almost always the go to strategy).

There was a period in the 1990s when it seemed to be the thing for male actors to show their butts on camera. Adrian Paul (Highlander), Chris Potter (Kung Fu: The Legend Continues), Kevin Costner (Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves), Mel Gibson (everything).... Good times.
BTW, the journal that posted that picture of Don Cheadle also posted this picture of Robert Downey, Jr.

There was almost enough gratuitously naked Brad Pitt to make up for the pain of Agamemnon being killed off at the end and the filmmakers' quaint conviction that making Patroclus Achilles's young, nubile protege would make them seem less gay for one another.
