'Iron Man 2' takes Asia by storm but what is that ending all about?

There's a new Freddy and Robin Hood in town, and some nifty new gadgets about to hit the market in the latest Neonpunch posting

Iron Man 2
Thank you World Cup! Because of you Paramount decided to release "Iron Man 2" in Asia and Europe a week earlier than in the United States so that it could have one more week of box office before the football mayhem kicks in.

But since Marvel Comics are not all the rage out here in Asia -- and you sat through the credit sequence at "Iron Man 2" to be shown a teaser for the next big Marvel movie -- we decided to give all the background you need on what that last scene means.

Some sites have been getting fluff for posting this information but we think that it's not really a spoiler as it's more of a "Huh?" moment for cinema goers in Asia. So if you saw it and want to know more, or if you aren’t a big Marvel-phile and want to be enlightened as to why you should sit through 10 minutes of scrolling words, click on through.

Mike Relm did a remix song based on the "Iron Man 2" trailer. It impressed director Jon Favreau so much he got Paramount to use it for a new TV spot, which you can see here alongside a video of the director and star Robert Downey Jr at the sneak preview in Texas that blew fanboys' minds away: "Iron Man 2" on Neonpunch.

Iron Man too high-tech for you? The Gladiator himself -- Russell Crowe -- is shooting arrows from a horse in "Robin Hood" coming next week and a new Freddy Krueger emerges in the new "Nightmare on Elm Street" the following week.

Sexy new gadgets this week include:
