Iron Man 3 Clip – Tony Stark challenges The Mandarin

By Leave a Comment


It’s only a few weeks until Iron Man 3 hits cinemas (April 25th in the UK and May 3rd in the US), and now Yahoo! has debuted a new clip from the movie.

It features Tony Stark getting a bit angry about The Mandarin’s reign of terror, and issuing a challenge. And if you’ve seen the trailer, you’ll know what the ultimatum leads to.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?’

Iron Man 3 Composite IMAX Poster Released

By Leave a Comment

iron-man-3-imax-posterThere have been an awful lot of Iron Man 3 posters released, and now we’ve got another one, which is essentially a composite of the previously released character posters. It’s pretty cool, even if Ben Kingsley’s Mandarin does look like he’s randomly floating in the background.

And while we’re talking Iron Man 3, Joss Whedon has seen the film and commented that it’s made writing The Avengers 2 a bit more daunting for him. Marvel had honcho Kevin Feige told 2 Kids And A Coupon that, “We have what I think is the biggest, you know, most action packed finale we’ve had. I showed the film to Joss Whedon, who is our writer-director of Avengers, is currently working on Avengers 2, and he saw the finale of this and he goes, now what am I supposed to do now?  What am I going to do in Avengers 2?”

Whether that’s just because the ending is so huge or if it effects Tony Stark’s story in a way that will impact on the next Avengers movie isn’t known. Iron Man 3 hits UK cinemas on April 26th and the US on May 3rd.

By Leave a Comment


It’s not long at all until Iron Man 3 hits UK cinemas on April 25th and the US on May 3rd, so it’s time to kick the hype up a gear with an ace new trailer. It suggests a more serious tone than the first two films, with Tony Stark dropping his jokey, cocksure attitude as The Mandaring emerges and threatens to rip his life apart.

Luckily though he’s going to spice things up with a whole team of iron people!

New Iron Man 3 Poster Features An Army Of Iron People

By Leave a Comment

iron-man-3-teaser-poster4We’ve had a slew of characters posters for Iron Man 3 in the last few weeks, although it’s this one that’s definitely that’s the most interesting. That’s not due to Tony Stark looking pretty cool in the foreground, but the army of besuited Iron people in the background.

There’s no info been released on exactly how it ends up with there being lots of Iron Men, but it definitely sounds like it could be fun.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Eccentric genius, billionaire, philanthropist Tony Stark is the armored super hero known as Iron Man.

I’m sure the image above is meant to show her tenderly cradling a damaged Iron Man mask, as she worries about Tony Stark. However it does slightly look like she’s ripped his head off. Who knows, perhaps she turns evil in the movie!

Iron Man 3 Mandarin Character Poster Arrives

By Leave a Comment

iron-man-3-mandarin-character-banner
We’ve had Iron Man 3 character posters for the likes of Tony Stark, Don Cheadle’s James Rhodes and Guy Pearce’s Aldrich Killian, and now it’s time for the movie’s main villain to get one – Ben Kingsley’s evil Mandarin.

Disney/Marvel has also provided a character description, which says, ‘Mandarin is the sinister head of the terrorist organization known as The Ten Rings, from which all the acts of extreme terrorism plaguing the world appear to emanate. Although he is reclusive, Mandarin wields great power and makes his presence known by striking fear in the government and the populace through his brazen plans of attack.’

In the movie the Mandarin targets Tony Stark, with his world reduced to rubble by a malevolent enemy and must use his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him as he seeks to destroy the enemy and his cohorts.

It hits UK cinemas on April 26th.

Guy Pearce Gets His Own Iron Man 3 Poster

By Leave a Comment

iron-man-3-guy-pearce-poster
After Iron Man 3 character posters for Tony Stark and Don Cheadle’s James Rhodes, Marvel has released one for franchise first-timer Guy Pearce, who plays Aldrich Killian in the upcoming movie.

Killian works alongside Maya Hansen (Rebecca Hall) in harnessing the power of nanotechnology, which Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) tries to use to defeat the nefarious Mandarin (Ben Kingsley). The fact he’s got a character poster suggests he’ll be a major park of the movie.

Here’s what the Official Marvel Database has to say about Killian: ‘Dr. Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) is a brilliant scientist working for the FuturePharm Corporation in Austin, Texas alongside Dr. Maya Hansen (Rebecca Hall). Together they developed Extremis, an attempt to create a new super soldier. The Extremis is a techno organic virus that completely rewrites the body’s genetic code. It replaces entire organs making them more efficient. The virus also gives the body a sort of healing factor. The original Extremis grants super human strength, speed, endurance, reflexes and the ability to project electricity and breathe fire.’

However in the comics he turns out to be a rather slippery character.

Iron May 3 hits cinemas May 3rd, 2013.

Don Cheadle Puts On His Iron Patriot Armor In His Own Iron Man 3 Poster

By Leave a Comment

iron-man-3-teaser-poster3Marvel Studios has released a brand new poster for Iron Man 3, which features Don Cheadle in his Iron Patriot armor. The actor returns to reprise his role as Colonel James Rhodes, a part he took over from Terrence Howard in Iron Man 2.

Although it hasn’t been revealed exactly how Iron Patriot fits into the plot, which sees Tony Stark going up against The Mandarin, in the comics, the character was actually Norman Osborn (aka Green Goblin), using a red, white and blue Iron Man suit to try and become a hero. Obviously he won’t be Osborn here (not least because that character is controlled by Sony for its Spider-man franchise), but instead becomes Rhodes.

Iron Man 3 hits cinemas on May 3rd.
