It looks like rock gods AC/DC will be re-teaming with Tony Stark again for a just-announced film/soundtrack collaboration deal for Iron Man 2.
Pre-order for the album AC/DC: Iron Man 2 began yesterday at Amazon and Walmart online stores. Amazon shoppers will get exclusive access to an Iron Man 2 CD/DVD deluxe version, while two Vinyl LP packages will be hitting shelves April 19th.
The film opens internationally on April 28, 2010 while U.S. citizens can look forward to a May 7 release. The album will feature 15 classic AC/DC songs selected from ten of the band’s studio albums, ranging from 1976 to 2008. The complete track listing can be found below along with the first video from the soundtrack titled “Shoot To Thrill.”
This isn’t the first time AC/DC’s tunes have been set to Iron Man footage. Astute Tony Stark fans will recall the first film featured “Back In Black” played on a boom box by the U.S. Air Force convoy escorting Stark in Afghanistan. I thought that song fit the first film’s tone perfectly, so another collaboration makes sense to me.
