AC/DC is one of the most iconic hard rock bands of all time and Marvel Studio’s Iron Man is one of the most successful comic book films, so why not mix the two? In Iron Man we were given “Iron Man” by yet another iconic band, Black Sabbath, and the fans completely loved it – some even going as far as saying it couldn’t be topped by any other band.
When we were given the amazing trailer for Iron Man 2, Shoot to Thrill by AC/DC proved that even “Iron Man” could be topped. It’s no secret that Jon Favreau, director of Iron Man and returning director for Iron Man 2 is a huge fan of AC/DC, making this recent news almost expected. With that, the other day we learned from the help of SuperHeroHype that AC/DC was also doing the entire soundtrack of Iron Man 2 and released a music video (seen below) for Shoot to Thrill including some footage from Iron Man 2. The soundtrack is essentially just a greatest-hits of AC/DC songs with music songs from both their past and present adding to the overall excitement for Iron Man 2 as a whole, making dedicated AC/DC fans and comic book fans very excited for the final product of both the soundtrack and the film itself.
Take a look at the video and let us know what you think

Ugh. AC/DC? Really? I understand Jon likes them but…ew.
They get massive credit for being famous off of 3 chord songs though. That’s skill.
