Are wide leg pants in now?

Double "Heck No" on this. I was referencing the straight leg wide leg trousers of the 30s - 50s.

How wide are you talking? 50 Cent wide? If you mean "normal" fitting pants, then I don't think that those were ever out. Just because slim fit is popular doesn't mean that it's the only option. Some like slim pants, and some like "normal" width pants. Either is fine.

If you ask me, it takes the right build and the right suit tailoring to make slim fit pants work. If your pants are slim but you are not, then you just end up looking like a guy who's wearing a suit from h.s. On the other side of things, if your build is right but your jacket isn't, then slim-fitting pants just make the jacket look more like a sack. Pants that are more wide SLIGHTLY hide jacket size and tapering issues.

Wow....Those heels aren't even remotely stylish IMO

Good grief! Is RDJ a midget or something? I never realized he was afflicted by Tom Cruise Syndrome.

that looks awful. good from waist to knee, then disaster hits. He is standing awkwardly with his belly pooched out, which doesn't help.

I suppose those shoes are a height prop and never seen on screen.

I got a screen grab from the trailer. It does look more like 'bootcut' trousers than sort of a straight wide cut, but it isn't that fitted above the knee like jeans though. But I must say that the actor pulled it off.

I'm thinking that the Iron man costumes are probably used to reflect the iron man suit that looks like it has some flaring at the bottom of the legs.

Clearly this is correct. They do that in movies sometimes to make a character taller.

yeah those are definitely some sort of prop. i'd imagine the cut of the pants is meant to accommodate the lift-shoes and is not mean to be "stylish". it looks horrible to me. i'd say ignore.
