With nary a detail to be found we’re told only that it’s “coming soon” and that availability could vary by market. The tweet comes on the heels of a Korea Herald report that the Iron Man edition would arrive in the coming weeks.
Given that “The Avengers: Age of Ultron” is entering its third week at the box office we might expect Samsung to pull the trigger on the variant in short order. Waiting too long could result in lost interest and/or cannibalized sales.
Samsung and Marvel have been quite cozy this year, having partnered in number of collaborations. Galaxy Note 4 owners can claim some limited edition cases; a Battle for the Avengers Tower experience is available for the Gear VR headset.

It is not clear if Iron Man is the only superhero to see his likeness emblazoned on a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. Additionally, we don’t know if there will be Marvel-based variations of the standard Galaxy S6.
CNET has contacted Samsung for comment and will update with any new information.
