Iron Man 3

http://www.deadline.com/2011/02/shane-black-to-direct-marvels-iron-man-3/

EXCLUSIVE: The ever secretive Marvel Studios is in final negotiations with Shane Black to direct Iron Man 3 set to be released on May 3, 2013. As you know , IM1 and IM2 director Jon Favreau begged off to helm Magic Kingdom at Disney so his relationship with the franchise ran its course. Shane is first and foremost a writer but it's not clear whether he'll be penning the IM3 script as well. "That's not figured out," our source says. Of course, everyone in and around Marvel is keeping mum. But Black has a long relationship with Robert Downey Jr since Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. Not only did Shane make his directing debut on the 2005 cult favorite he co-wrote, but it helped re-launch Downey Jr’s career. When news leaked out that Marvel was meeting with several directors including Shane, fanboys approved. So they should exult now that negotiations are wrapping up with Black's agency WME and manager David Greenblatt's GreenLit Creative. We recall the days way back when that unknown Black submitted a spec script over the transom to Greenblatt who was then a young ICM lit agent. Greenblatt in those days read scripts by wannabes and the two became an inseparable team that continues to this day. (For the uninitiated, Greenblatt was one of the founders of Endeavor, which is now WME.) Black was the screenwriter behind Lethal Weapon 1 and 2 and The Last Boy Scout, and, in the 1980s and 1990s one of the highest paid writers in the action genre. He then decided to go have a life and segue into directing as well. Shane is back and busy now. He's working on Doc Savage, Sony's action project based on the classic pulp hero, and Warner Bros Warner Bros recently hired him to direct a live action adaptation of the Japanese manga series Death Note and oversee a script that’s being written by Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry, his accomplices on Doc Savage. So let this be a lesson to all you agents who get so arrogant about out-of-the-blue submissions: read every wannabe's screenplay you can get your hands on.

[PG Cooper]

Shane Black is such a perfect fit for this series.

[Fresh Prince]

I liked what last part of the article said, read every wannabe script. Its so true may find something good. Anyways Shane Black is right for the series and LW films and LBS were awesome.

[Neverending]

Shane Black is such a perfect fit for this series.

We might have to register Tony Stark as a lethal weapon.

[ScottysAir]

Could be very interested to watched new Iron Man 3 movie. I wasn't sure about this one. If there is a possible to started new Star Wars: Episode 7, 8, 9.

[Coulson080101112]

I think Ken Wannatabe who played the Ra's Al Ghul decoy in Batman Begins would be a good choice for The Mandarin

Really? This is willing able to plays the movies? I wasn't sure if Ken Wannatabe will able join Dark Knight Rises. If he does have a chance to plays the movies.

[Jason Krueger]

His character from Batman Begins is dead so there's no chance of him appearing in Rises.

http://www.deadline.com/2011/03/marvel-taps-its-runaways-scribe-drew-pearce-to-write-iron-man-3-script/

EXCLUSIVE: Drew Pearce has been chosen by Marvel Studios to write Iron Man 3. Robert Downey Jr. will reprise his signature Tony Stark role, and Marvel recently locked Downey's Kiss Kiss Bang Bang helmer Shane Black to direct. Pearce got the job after writing the script for Runaways, a Marvel project based on the cult comic by Lost writer Brian K. Vaughan about children of super villains who try to use their evil powers for heroic purposes. Pearce is the British writer who created the irreverent UK TV series No Heroics, about a bar hangout for superheroes, who aren't allowed to use their superpowers while drinking. That project had Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist director Pete Sollett attached and seemed on a fast track. It is still at Marvel, but the company is concentrating on its other big superhero franchises first.

Pearce is in talks to jump on one of Marvel's biggest hits, and I'm told the plan is for him to start from scratch and work closely with Black. Iron Man 3 will be released May 3, 2013 through Disney.

[Clark Savage Jr]

I haven't had a chance to see the NO HEROICS series. So I don't know if this writer is good or not (I'm afraid the name doesn't ring a bell for me). Don't know if this latest news is good or not at this time.

[Neverending]

http://www.totalfilm.com/news/scarlett-johansson-will-appear-in-iron-man-3

“The storyline is being described by writer-director Shane Black as being a Tom Clancy-thriller,” says the call-out, “with Iron Man fighting real world villains.”

That's... better.

Black is also quoted on what Marvel are looking for him to resolve, after the muted response to Iron Man 2.

“The studio wasn't happy with the result of Iron Man 2,” he said. “That pretty much came about due to a rushed production schedule in an attempt to hit a release date rather than simply make a good film, but I digress. Iron Man 3 will not be another, ‘two men in iron suits fighting each other.’”

Wow. That is the best possible news about this movie.

[Henri Ducard]

Very promising.

[Wyldstaar]

Glad to hear that they recognize there's more out there for Tony to face than just other baddies trying to create knock-offs of his suit. The desire of others to emulate Stark's success outside of Stark Industries certainly makes sense, but now that they've dealt with that concept it's time to move on. Plenty of other story possibilities out there.

[Neverending]

Indeed. And I like that Tony will face grounded villains again, like in the original.

[Neverending]

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=89007

Ben Kingsley, who starred in last year's Hugo and who is now filming Ender's Game, is said to be in final negotiations to play the villain in Shane Black's Iron Man 3. Variety has the news, saying that Kingsley's part is that of someone tied to nanobot technology and is specifically not the comic book foe, the Mandarin.

Written by Drew Pearce and Black, Iron Man 3 will again star Robert Downey as Tony Stark and Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts. It is slated to begin production shortly in North Carolina with a release date of May 3, 2013.

[Doomsday]

Nice, I like Ben Kingsley a lot.

[Neverending]

I wonder if he'll be connected to the Ten Rings.

[morpheus1987]

I wonder if he'll be connected to the Ten Rings.

I hope so. It would be nice if they could tie this to the first film.

[Neverending]

Yup. We need Iron Man blowing up tanks in the Middle East again.

[thebtskink]

He's specifically not The Mandarin though, so if they can fit him in with the Ten Rings there, might be a challenge. Or I guess they could do Temugin.

Screw realism, I want MODOK. :)

Screw realism, I want MODOK. :)

If they do any freakish evil scientist in future Marvel Studios films, I'd expect it to be Arnim Zola since he was in Captain America.

[Tornado]

I think if Cap squares off against an evil scientist in his sequel, I bet it would be Baron Zemo.

[Neverending]

They're filming in China. I guess the Mandarin might show up after all.

[Nick1988]

I doubt they make Mandarin a chinese villain, China wouldn't allow it, didn't they not allow screenings of The Dark Knight because a chinese person played a minor bad guy?

[Neverending]

didn't they not allow screenings of The Dark Knight because a chinese person played a minor bad guy?

They filmed in Hong Kong nonetheless.

[DarthVader 2004]

I wonder if War Machine will be the same Actor. Also Id like to see Maybe Iron Man spin off a Dr Strange movie some how.

[Tornado]

I bet he will be. I don't think they'd recast the part again. They recast it for Iron Man 2 because Favreau didn't like working with Terrence Howard. Unless Shane Black secretly dislikes Don Cheadle, I doubt he'd be recast.

[Neverending]

The core cast is returning + Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow.

[Wyldstaar]

Terrence Howard also wanted too much money. In the first Iron Man, he actually got paid as much as RDJ. From what I understand, Cheadle signed a multi-picture deal as part of his Iron Man 2 contract.

Nick1988 is correct regarding China. The new deal between the US and China for movie distribution begins soon, which will allow the Hollywood studios to earn a higher percentage of the box office there than they receive now (15% now vs. 25% 2013+). With 1.3 billion moviegoers in China, Marvel Studios isn't going to run the risk of alienating Chinese censors to the point of banning the film just so they can have the Mandarin as a villain.

Warner Bros. wasn't worried about the Chinese market so much with The Dark Knight, anyway. Between having a main character who takes the law into his own hands, corrupt law enforcement and corrupt politicians, the movie never stood a chance of being let in.

[PsYkOoOoO]

The Mandarin? SAY IT ISN'T SO.

[Neverending]

What's the big deal? In Asian films, Asians play the villains.

[JBond]

Nope, they're all Americans.

[Neverending]

That must be the newer movies.

[Tornado]

Is Iron Man 3 the end of a trilogy? Or is it just the next film in the series? I tried finding info on it but I didn't turn anything up.

[Neverending]

I think Marvel will make as many as they can.

[DarthVader 2004]

I wonder if they will show a display case of different suits he made since Avengers. Maybe we will see the Hulk Iron Man Suit and the God Iron Man suit.

[Tornado]

You keep talking about a God Iron Man suit? What are you talking about? I've never heard of it, and based on my Google searches neither has the internet.

[MasterChief117]

You keep talking about a God Iron Man suit? What are you talking about? I've never heard of it, and based on my Google searches neither has the internet.

The only thing I found God related to Iron Man was a story arc with Thor called God Complex, in it his armor looks mostly different than his regular armor, more yellow than red and he looks bulkier.


Maybe that's it?

[DarthVader 2004]

Well If memory serves me Iron Man or aka Stark has suit built in some comics that was the anti Asgurd Armor. It was i think built in case Thor flipped out. I call it the God Suit. It likely has a different name.
I know he has one for The Hulk too. Unless i am wrong about that as well.

[Tornado]

Ah, the Thorbuster armor.

http://images.wikia.com/mightythor/images/8/88/Item-thorbusterarmor.jpg

And yeah he has a Hulkbuster armor too:

[Wyldstaar]

Is Iron Man 3 the end of a trilogy? Or is it just the next film in the series? I tried finding info on it but I didn't turn anything up.

Last week at the Avengers premier in Hollywood, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige told reporters that Avengers marks the end of "Phase One" of the Marvel plan. He failed to mention how many phases are in the current plan, however. I don't know how many more movies are on RDJ's contract, but Cobie "Maria Hill" Smulders has a NINE picture deal with Marvel Studios, of which Avengers is the first. SLJ also signed a nine picture deal, but that was before Iron Man 2, so he's got at least seven more on his plate. It doesn't seem like they plan on wrapping things up anytime soon.

[Tornado]

Yeah I had heard about the 'end of Phase One' comment by Feige. I like that they're thinking so far ahead. I knew they had SLJ sign a nine picture deal and I know they have Chris Evans on a six picture deal, but I didn't know they have Cobie Smulders on a nine picture deal too. I'm glad though, the MCU is a limitless universe and I hope they keep making movies out of it. We've got Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 next year, Captain America 2 in 2014, probably The Avengers 2 in 2015... no reason not to keep going after that.

[Deexan]

Guy Pearce, who recently starrred in Lockout and who appears in the upcoming Prometheus, is up for a role in the soon-to-shoot Iron Man 3, Variety reports.

Pearce would play Dr. Aldrich Killian in the Shane Black film. In the comics, Killian is a genetic scientist who was a key player in Warren Ellis' 2005 comic book storyline "Extremis", long-rumored to be a focus of the new film's plot. The Ellis tale involves the creation of a nanotech virus.

If he officially signs on, Pearce will join Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and Ben Kingsley on the Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Pictures project, which is beginning production in North Carolina and will, as was revealed earlier this week, will be co-produced in China.

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=89472

[DarthVader 2004]

I wonder if we will see Coulson in Iron Man 3 or any Shield agents. Or some cameo from one of the Avengers.

[Neverending]

Jessica Chastain and Andy Lau are up for roles.

[DarthVader 2004]

Id Like To See Iron Man 3 be more about him being more humbled by things. What I mean is he was overly cocky in the last movie and Id like to see him have a situation a bit like when he first became Iron Man. To remind him why he became Iron Man.

[Tornado]

http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/170357-andy-lau-joining-iron-man-3

NeonPunch (via Twitch) is reporting that Andy Lau is in negotiations to play an old friend of Tony Stark in Marvel Studios' Iron Man 3.

The site says the friend "represents China’s technology sector – and will use China’s armored heroes to HELP Iron Man defeat “The Mandarin” who is seen as a terrorist against both the US and China."

He would be joining a cast that includes Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Ben Kingsley and Guy Pearce. Shane Black will direct the third installment, scheduled to be released on May 3, 2013.

As we previously reported, the film will be co-produced in China. Filming will start in May in the United States and move to China later this summer.

Oh hell yes! That's how you close out the Iron Man trilogy! :D

[Neverending]

Awesome.

[DarthVader 2004]

I just don't think Iron Man will be done in Iron Man 3. But do think should do a couple Avengers films before doing a 4th Iron Man movie.

[Wolverine X]

As he was always my favorite Avenger in the comics (Though I prefer Thor in the films because he is cooler than in the comics and less shakespearean) I am greatly looking forward to Iron Man 3.

especially since this film will be heavily based on the legendary Iron Man: Extremis arc in the comics. It introduces a serum called Extremis which basically treats a body like an entire wound that must be repaired with "new tissue", giving someone enormous powers. Iron Man is forced to take Extremis and created himself a new much more advanced non-magnetic armor (The Extremis armor). Its considered one of the best IM comic stories.

http://blog.newsarama.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ironmanextremis.jpg

http://i.newsarama.com/images/New-Iron-Man_02.jpg

Extremis also provided a new origin story for IM in the comics which was almost copied 1:1 for the first IM film. Some say Iron Mans nemesis Mandarin will appear in IM3 but if this is going to be based on Extremis then I doubt that. There was a reference to the Mandarin in IM1. The Mandarin is like this big chinese emperor who wears ten magic rings, each ring giving him a different magical ability. The terror organization that kidnapped Tony in IM1 is called "Ten rings" - obviously a reference to the Mandarin. There were even rumors that the Mandarin is the true mastermind behind what happened in the first film and was the one who corrupted Obediah Stane (That would have been pretty cool)

http://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel//universe3zx/images/6/68/Mandarin.jpg

Kevin Feige (Marvel Studios president) said that in IM3 they will put Tony in a situation again like in the beginning of the first film. Where he is totally on his own and cant call Pepper, SHIELD or any of the Avengers and can only rely on his own genius.

I hope that War Machine and Black Widow will be in it too cause they were the absolute highlight in the 2nd film. I dont think Don Cheadle will be recast. he is contracted for several films.

I am also interested where the Tony/Pepper relationship is going. I loved how their dynamic in Avengers was now so different from the first two IM films and it will be really interesting to see how that continues now. I wonder if they will hint in IM3 at the building of the Avengers Tower (which was hinted at in the very end of Avengers with the A on the tower).

Greatly looking forward to this film.

[DarthVader 2004]

I have a feeling we won't see Black Widow but will see maybe Maria Hill because she needs stuff to do before Avengers 2 other then stand behind monitors so much.

[morpheus1987]

I have a feeling we won't see Black Widow but will see maybe Maria Hill because she needs stuff to do before Avengers 2 other then stand behind monitors so much.

We will definitely see Black Widow, although I wouldn't be surprised if we see Maria Hill as well.

[Wolverine X]

Funny you act like you already read the script. The only thing thats definite is what the officials say and so far nobody (as far as I know) has OFFICIALLY confirmed that Natasha is going to be in this. Least of all ScaJo

[Tornado]

Black Widow has not been confirmed to be in it. When a reporter asked Scarlett about it though, she said something like, "I haven't been asked yet," rather than that she was definitively not in it. So there's still a possibility. I bet Scarlett will be in Captain America 2 though since that movie is supposed to function like a S.H.I.E.L.D. movie.

[Wolverine X]

I have to fully agree with what Tornado said here. Besides Natashas assignment with Tony is over and as you can see in the Furys big wee comic series (a prelude for the Avengers film that connects all the films more closely and shows things that happened during the films but that we didnt see onscreen and Natasha was heavily involved in them) she is on various different assignments from being undercover at Stark Industries to sabotaging Ross´plans to get the Hulk and taking down Samuel Stern.

I can also imagine her better in a Cap movie. I think she could even become a love interest for him like in the Ultimate comics and animated films. Then again maybe Whedon already planted the seeds for a Natasha/Clint relationship (In the 616 comics -the main Marvel universe- Hawkeye was in love with her once , which actually was a big reason that Natasha defected from the soviet union and joined SHIELD).

maybe they do a Black Widow/Hawkeye movie. that would be cool to explore these two characters. That movie could also introduce Mockingbird (Hawkeyes wife in the comics). ah so many possibilities....

[DarthVader 2004]

I think if they don't bring in the niece of Peggy Carter my guess is maybe movie wise we could get a Maria Hill and Cap romance. I'd Like to see Black Widow in Iron Man 3 just because in the comic and i am sure of this because read it recently that Black Widow and Tony Stark have this thing kinda while she has this Hawkeye thing Stark and her have history as well.
Movie wise I don't want Iron Man and Pepper messed up so I'd be ok with no Black Widow as well.
I am fine either way they go here but i still Like to see that Shield is keeping an eye on Stark somewhat. And Widow i think makes the most since. Unless they assign Maria who seems to loath Stark but kinda had stars in her eyes for Cap.
I am making no since because I am not sure which is the better idea. No shield at all or some shield. Its just gonna be odd without Coulson in Iron Man 3.

[Wolverine X]

Maria loathes Stark? In the movie?? I didnt see any of that.

SHIELD doesnt have to keep their eyes on the Avengers anymore. the end of Avengers made pretty clear that these characters are not under surveillance anymore but like in the comics are now a team for SHIELD.

Hmm yeah I knew Natasha (why is no one here calling her ever by her real name?) and Tony had a thing in the Ultimate comics but they didnt in the 616 comics as far as I know. In 616 Natasha was with Clint and Matt Murdock for certain periods of time I think.

And after Avengers it makes no sense anymore to "assign" Natasha to Tony since they are team mates now. They are all friends now really who trust each other and Fury has learned his lessons at the end of Avengers. So I heavily doubt there will be SHIELD surveillance going on. Besides I repeat: Feige said in IM3 Tony will be cut off from everyone else and be totally on his own. No SHIELD, no Avengers, no Pepper. Just Tony on his own like in the beginning of the first film.

Coulson...the most overrated character in the MCU. I dont know why suddenbly everyone makes such a big deal about him. He was in the IM films where he just annoyed Tony. He was in Thor where he annoyed Jane and Thor. Nobody really liked him and suddenly after he dies in Avengers he is such a big and important character ? I just dont get it. His death didnt really touch me or move me or anything. He didnt have an emotional connectiont to any of the characters in the previous films. he was just the representative of SHIELD ,an agent working for Fury who has been mostly annoying the heroes. I dont think its odd at all if he wont be in future films since he never really was an essential part of them anyway (maybe except in Avengers). never really cared much for that character. he was totally replaceable at any time.

She gives Tony Stark and Eye roll and kind of a stuck up attitude but kinda gave Cap a minor approving look.

Didn't Black Widow have an affair with Tony Stark somewhere or was that Elektra. I seem to recall a bio where one of them sleeps with Stark. Anyways I like for Natasha to stay or least someone from Shield. My money says it will Be Maria Hill because heard she was getting a multi picture contract.
Which would likely include shield moments in Thor and likely Cap 2.
I say stick with what built up to Avengers. I think having cameos and characters crossing into the others film is very good thing to continue.

[Wolverine X]

Well I wouldnt call an eye roll "loathing". She was just annoyed. It was funny.

Yeah Natasha had an affair with Tony in the Ultimate universe but not in the 616 comics. That became a scandal when someone leaked a sex tape of Tony and Natasha on the internet. Wouldnt mind to see that in a future film :P :P Though Pepper might not be too amused about that xD

Yeah I too want that the movies retain the connections with each other in the MCU with the subplots , cameos etc. But it shouldnt be just a repeat of what was done before Avengers but something new and the next step in the story. Feige said that Avengers was the conclusion of phase 1. Now phase 2 begins so it has to move forward and be something new. I just think there shouldnt be any more of SHIELD monitoring that team or spying on its members. Its inappropriate now.

Like Whedon said "It should be the next thing that happens to these characters not a rehash of what worked before. A new theme thats fresh and totally organic to itself"

Well in IM3 there wont be any cameos of Avengers characters since the whole idea of IM3 is to isolate Tony from that Avengers world and they also focus on doing the Extremis story. SHIELD might have a appearance in the end though. Or there might be a few scenes between Tony and Fury. And I am sure that Avengers-related stuff will be mentioned but for the most part Tony is going to be on his own in this one.

Maybe there will be more Avengers-related cameos etc. in Thor 2. Thats going to be a cool movie too, seeing what happens with Loki and the Tesseract now in Asgard and how the relationship between Thor and Jane continues (will he take her to Asgard?).

I think the movie with most direct connections to Avengers and SHIELD will be Cap 2 because Feige said this movie will be the closest follow up to Avengers because unlike Tony and Thor and Banner Cap cant go home. SHIELD is his home now, so he is directly in that world.

I guess we can do nothing but wait for more concrete info. All we can do is speculate now and in most cases speculation proves to be wrong anyway.

They can use War Machine more in Iron Man 3 who could be in Avengers 2. or maybe they introduce a new character here that will be an Avenger later.
Hawkeye and Black Widow were introduced movie wise in Iron Man 2 and Thor.

[Wolverine X]

You still dont understand what Iron Man 3 will be like. you keep on saying those and those characters should appear or new characters etc. when I have tried to explain to you now several times that Marvel wants Tony to be on his OWN in this film. Feige said "He cant call the Avengers, he cant call any other heroes, he cant call the helicarrier to help him out" yet you keep going on about all those other characters to be in the film. This will be based on the Extremis comics. Read them! and you will know there aint any other superheroes there to help Tony. Marvel already has said this will be Tony Stark on his own who can rely only on his own gifts to get out of the situation like in the caves of the first film.

So please stop with the "There will be those and those characters and they introduce him and her". War Machine will not be in Avengers. They left him out of the first one because he is too similar to Iron Man and they dont wanna have the same thing twice. Thats also why She-Hulk will never be in there as long as Hulk is in there.

[Tornado]

You're going to make friends real quick.

[Wolverine X]

and what has that personal remark to do with the topic ? i say what I think, deal with it. Then again its you so I shouldnt really be surprised about a comment like that.

[Tornado]

Did nobody love you as a child?

[Wolverine X]

see? now you get even totally personal and insulting. one personal remark after another that get worse and worse. That was totally out of line and a disgusting thing to say. It was personal and insulting. And it had NOTHING to do with the topic. And you claim that you never been disrespectful to me? That was as disrespectful and personally insulting as it gets. *******

[Tornado]

It was a joke.

[Wolverine X]

well it was a very hurtful one because yes when I was a child my parents always loved my brother more than me. they gave him everything and me nothing and eventually sent me away because they preferred him. Are you happy now?

[DarthVader 2004]

I am sorry I didn't know you were writing the script for Iron Man 3. You can have a brief introduction to a new Avengers character if not in Iron Man then in Cap 2 or Thor 2.
I just think Iron Man 3 usually is where they go back to movie wise to move the Avengers part of these multipal movies.

[Tornado]

Now I'm positive this is your first message board.

[Wolverine X]

and you would still be wrong Tornado. See, judging again without knowing me. Like I said. Hypocrite.

And no vader I dont write the script for IM3 but you just have to simply read what Feige said about the film to know what I do.

[Tornado]

Well that's all you've been doing to me, so... I don't see your point.

[Wolverine X]

You dont see a lot of points. *yawn* moving on now to something actually significant.

[Tornado]

I only see points when they're actually being made, something you've failed to do much of in your time here so far.

[DarthVader 2004]

and you would still be wrong Tornado. See, judging again without knowing me. Like I said. Hypocrite.

And no vader I dont write the script for IM3 but you just have to simply read what Feige said about the film to know what I do.

You don't know that there couldn't be a cameo of another Avenger or something. All The Iron Man films has some connection to Shield and Fury could come to him to either build Vision or check out a new member for The Avengers project.

[Wolverine X]

But whats the point in introducing a new character if he doesnt play a significant role ? Granted they did that with Clint in Thor but that was more of a gag because they knew he would be in Avengers. IM3 will have connections to Shield and Fury, I am sure of that. But I doubt we get a new Avengers-hero in IM3.

[DarthVader 2004]

What part of end of movie does not compute. The character does not have to be seen to be done for the movie. Its just a point where shield is in the movie in the Marvel Universe but has no play in the Iron Man 3 story.

[Wolverine X]

They never did this kind of thing where they just introduced something completely new with no relevance to the story in the ending of the film (unless it played a significant role in the next MCU film like with Mjolnir or the Tesseract). So I dont see them doing that now.

[DarthVader 2004]

I give up my head hurts. I'll say this once more. Iron Man will always be connected to these Avengers because its the ones that started the whole thing. Shield can have Stark do stuff at the end as a set up for Avengers 2 and Cap and Thor 2 would like continue that.

[Wolverine X]

I never said Iron Man wont be connected to Shield. I bet Fury is gonna show up in the movie at some point. There will be Shield presence there in some way. And there will be a post credits scene that leads into Thor 2, I am sure of it. I just dont think there will be any Avengers characters showing up or new Avengers characters be mentioned or introduced. We´ll see in a year.

[DarthVader 2004]

Rebecca Hall may be cast as a scientist. I wonder if she will have any other importance other then for the concept of this movie. I also wonder if the new suit in Iron Man 3 maybe will be more useful to Avengers 2.

I think they may try to create Armor if not in Iron Man 3 but by Avengers 2 where he can breath in space.

[Wolverine X]

No the new armor will be the Extremis armor because IM3 will be adapting the Extremis storyline. Rebecca Hall will most likely play Maya Hansen, a brilliant scientist who used to be a former lover of Tonys and has created the Extremis nanotechnology. She plays a major role in the Extremis story.

Some comic research can be very helpful ;)

Are you saying they can't use this armor in Avengers 2.Isn't it possible Stark could use this armor to maybe build Vision for Avengers 2. I say its likely that The Tech used in Iron Man 3 could show up in the Next Avengers some way.

[Wolverine X]

No I was referring to the Hulkbuster armor idea. I am pretty sure that Tonys new armor in IM3 will be the Extremis one. What happened to Tony in that story completely changed the status quo of Iron Man in the comics so expect that to happen in the film as well. It will greatly change Iron Man. And that changed Iron Man will then be in Avengers 2 (most likely in his Extremis armor). of course thats no fact but everything really points that way right now.

Vision is an interesting character. Some have speculated that Coulson will be "revived" as the Vision. Though if they bring in Vision I expect it to be in Captain America 2 not IM3.

[Wolverine X]

For those who do not know the EXTREMIS storyline, here is a plot summary (source: wikipedia, so dont blame me for the length of the text :P )

EXTREMIS PLOT SUMMARY

Three men furtively enter a disused slaughterhouse in Bastrop, Texas, where two of them inject a willing third, whom they call "Mallen". This injection contains an experimental drug which makes him fall to the floor in immense pain. A bizarre physical change overtakes him; his horrified compatriots flee the room and lock him in.

In his Coney Island workshop/garage, Tony Stark is woken from fitful sleep to undertake his morning ritual of struggling to look himself in the mirror, before heading off for a scheduled interview with journalist John Pillinger (based closely, by Ellis' admission, on leftist filmmaker John Pilger). Pillinger discovers, in on- and off-camera conversation with Stark, that Stark's guilt is not chiefly for his history as a weapons designer (in flashback we see a younger Stark injured by a land mine of his own invention, the start of his Ellis-reworked origin story) but even more for the world-changing improvements he had hoped to fund with his weapons design, but which have yet to materialize. "Have you changed anything?" he asks Pillinger, and it's clear both men are anguished by the question.

The injected man's body, still lying in the Bastrop warehouse, is now covered completely in a bizarre layer of scar tissue.

Days later at Futurepharm Corporation offices in Austin, Texas, Dr. Aldrich Killian commits suicide at his computer, his note informing coworker Maya Hansen that he has stolen and "loosed" the company's immeasurably dangerous Extremis serum for some compelling but undisclosed purpose. Hansen phones Tony Stark, who is an old flame, and who speeds off to his private airport after taking the call on helmet-speaker flying high above New York State in his Iron Man suit.

Back in the Texas slaughterhouse, the two men return to find their companion—nearly normal again in appearance, although he has nearly punched holes in the locked metal door—is conscious and alive.

Stark arrives in Texas by private plane, ending a teleconference where he rejects calls from his company board to step down as CEO, saying they'll only restart weapons manufacture if he does. Arriving at Futurepharm he learns from Hansen only that the stolen project involves "robotic microsurgery" and they don't know who it's been given to, as they can't hack Killian's computer. Stark satellite-emails Killian's entire hard drive to be hacked by one of his contacts, and, to distract Maya, jets her to San Diego to talk with their old friend and teacher Sal Kennedy.

Kennedy speaks about technological development in general, dubbing it the "creation of better hunters", and the two of them in particular, dubbing Hansen "the Edward Teller of biology" and Stark "the Dean Kamen of technology". They banter at length on the disappointments of great minds: Kamen, despite his many good works, is known primarily as the inventor of the Segway. Clive Sinclair revolutionized Britain's computer industry, but is remembered for the C5 - "A Segway with pedals". He laments that the epitaph for many such individuals is "Almost Useful", all three of them included.

Meanwhile, the three men from the slaughterhouse drive up in their van outside FBI headquarters in Houston, Texas, and the injection survivor gets out. While Kennedy harangues Tony and Maya on their military work and thus-far-failed promise, the survivor walks empty-handed into the FBI station, face distorted in a rictus of hate, and easily slaughters everyone he sees, armed or unarmed, many with his fists, many incinerated by flames in his breath.

Maya catches the story on the news, realizing that the terrorist—and his fifty casualties—must be her fault, and the result of her project, which she calls "Extremis." Tony calls for the plane to be ready to take them to Austin, and for his armor to be waiting there. Back in the van, the killer rejoins his confederates and tells them he's only started.

In flight back to Texas, Maya tells Stark that Extremis is a military nanotechnology serum, an attempt to recreate the Super-Soldier Serum, which interfaces with the brain's 'repair center' and directs the body to rebuild itself from scratch as if it were all wound tissue to be replaced. The design for the new body is programmable prior to injection and can involve superhuman abilities, giving it an (untested) military application. Maya had taken the military contract to fund and advance her anti-cancer research. Stark receives a call from his hacker friend and reveals that Killian has given Extremis to a local domestic militia.

He debriefs area police authorities with a transmission to Avengers Mansion before landing and, alone once more, donning his armor. Mallen is heading back to Bastrop in the van, and flashes back briefly to the death of his entire family before his eyes in an ATF raid on their house when he was young. Iron Man, tracking the van from above, disables the van and battles Mallen, but is roundly defeated by him, with civilian casualties. Mallen flees, leaving Stark trapped beneath a car with armor at zero power and flames approaching, but Stark saves himself and the car's passengers by raising his armor to 1% power on thermal energy from the flames.

Tony phones Maya and has her people airlift him to Futurepharm, where, in a private medical bay, she removes his armor, revealing his identity. His internal injuries from the fight are critical, and Tony has realized that the only way for him to survive them—and to upgrade his response time enough to defeat Mallen—is to undergo the Extremis process himself. He remarks that it's the second time he had to test a weapon in order to survive a deadly injury. Maya fears Stark won't survive the process, but Stark insists; she injects him with the serum and he convulses, falling into a coma.

While in his regenerative coma, Stark relives his origin story as Iron Man, starting with his first deadly injury—wounded by his own landmine in pre-Gulf-war Afghanistan, he wakes an Al Qaeda prisoner expected to manufacture their weapons. Fellow prisoner and experimental medical researcher Ho Yinsen informs him that the shrapnel is working into his heart and will soon kill him, so they develop a prototype Iron Man suit which magnetically keeps the shrapnel out of Stark's heart while arming him to free himself and eliminate his captors.

24 hours into his coma, the scablike cocoon which has enveloped him bursts and Stark awakes healed and newly fit. An internal control sheath for his Iron Man armor is now contained within his body to emerge on mental command. The sheath lets him "low jack" himself not only into his armor, but phone and computer and even global satellite networks. He unveils new suitcase-sized Iron Man Armor, which self-assembles around his body when thought-commanded. He sets off after Mallen.

Tapping into the SI satellite cluster, Iron Man finds Mallen heading towards Washington, DC. The two fight, but now it is Mallen who is outmatched and Stark pleads with Mallen to surrender, working hard not to kill Mallen while defending himself. Stark claims Mallen's story terrifies him because it so much like Stark's own, down to the fifty Al Quaeda he killed trying to free himself and his fellow prisoner in the first Iron Man armor. The difference is that Stark is trying to rise above killing and make a difference, whereas Mallen can't see the future. Mallen eventually gets the upper hand, and, declaring that he will kill the future anyway, begins to rip apart the metal of Stark's chest plate—either this action, or Stark in desperation, releases a bolt of energy which runs Mallen through—after which, as a mercy killing, Stark decapitates Mallen with repulsors.

Torn with anger and guilt at having once more had to kill, he returns to Futurepharm, at last to act on his realization that Aldrich Killian could not have opened the company vault alone, and that Maya must have helped steal and release Extremis in order to provide her project with a human test and prove its viability in combat—in this case, with Iron Man—and thereby save her military funding for the cancer research. Maya confesses to Stark and the troops he's brought with him to arrest her, but tells him that he's no better than her. He agrees, but says at least he's trying to be better than her, and because of that he'll be able to look himself in the mirror the next morning.


Rebecca Hall will most likely play Maya hansen and Guy Pearce will be Aldrich Kilian.

Speaking of Captain America. Will we ever See Redskull again. Because i was so expecting him to be the Villain at the end of Avengers and not Thanos.
I hope he returns in Cap 2 because the Red Skull has this ability to come back. Also i don't think anyone believes he died but was transported.

[morpheus1987]

Edit: Nevermind

[Wolverine X]

Hm I wasnt expecting the Skull at the end of Avengers to be honest (plus Thanos is way better). But its true Schmidt cant be dead. The cube transported him somewhere but I doubt its Asgard. Probably one of the other 6 realms we havent seen yet. It would be cool if he would be back in Cap 2, but then again maybe its more interesting to not have the same villain as in Cap 1 and someone new (Baron Zemo maybe?) I wonder if Peggy is still alive (she would be around 95 I guess). If so , then she definitely must have seen Cap on the news. Would have been interesting to see her reaction^^

I also wonder if Hydra will rise again. In the comics they are powerful modern day terror organization and a major enemy of SHIELD. Maybe someone else will rule them after Skull was gone and now in the present they come out of hiding. There are so many cool characters you could introduce with Hydra in the present.

[morpheus1987]

If we are going to talk about Cap 2, I think Winter Soldier is likely to make an appearance at some point.

[Wolverine X]

yup Winter Soldier is a must for Cap sequels. I mean the actor who played Bucky is contracted for several films so I think he´ll be back in Cap 2 which can only mean Winter Soldier. maybe thats also the perfect way to bring back Black Widow. I seem to recall that Winter Soldier and Natasha were connected in the comics. And Cap vs his old friend would be very cool.

[Ramplate]

yeah that was interesting in the comic books

[Wolverine X]

speaking of the comics I really can highly recommend the FURYS BIG WEEK series (8 parts) which connects all the movies before Avengers more closely from SHIELDS point of view and shows lots of stuff that happened during the movies which we never got to see. Its very, very cool. Certain scenes from the films are also shown but sometimes from a different perspective.

Another series thats pretty cool is the new ongoing series AVENGERS ASSEMBLE. It has an own continuity (not the one from the main comics) and has the exact same team roster as in the film. Today the 3rd issue of that came out, cant wait to read it.

Also the free comic book day issue of THE AVENGERS has a pretty cool story involving the villain Ultron and featuring a fantastic roster: Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Hawkeye and Spider-Woman.

Great stuff :)

[Ramplate]

I actually stopped collecting in the early 90's

Wanna buy some comic books? ;)

[Wolverine X]

You did? Too bad since a lot of awesome comic books were released since then. You missed a LOT of good stuff.

And no my wallet cant take any more pressure lol. I already get every the month the new US issues of:

The Avengers
Avengers Assemble
Avengers vs X-Men (12 issue limited series)
AVX: VS (6 issue tie in series to AVX)
Wolverine
Wolverine and the X-Men
Uncanny X-Force
Action Comics
Superman
Detective Comics
Batman
Wonder Woman
Justice League
Smallville Season 11
Buffy Season 9
Angel & Faith

So I think I am good for the moment but thanks ;)

[Wyldstaar]

I wonder if Peggy is still alive (she would be around 95 I guess). If so , then she definitely must have seen Cap on the news. Would have been interesting to see her reaction^^

Doubtful, but there's always Sharon Carter, agent of SHIELD and Peggy's niece.

[Wolverine X]

yeah I know but Sharon is too obvious. She will certainly show up sooner or later. But I would love for Cap and Peggy to meet again in the present, that would be a beautiful moment for them I think. And it would be nice for Steve if at least one person that he loved is still alive. She could then maybe die in his arms or something. Giving her real closure with Cap and peace. I´d love that

[Ramplate]

I used to collect most of those except for about the last three titles you listed :D
I'm only missing 3 issues of Spider-man from issue 1 to about 400 and something (#14 I had but it wasn't a great copy so I sold it - the other issues I'm missing are single digit issues)

I've read some newer comics online at the Marvel site - World War Hulk was great

[Wolverine X]

most of those? Not really possible since many (Uncanny X-Force, Avengers Assemble, Wolverine and the X-Men, AVX etc.) didnt even exist until recently :P

and well the DC titles are different now because DC has relaunched every major title last year in a company wide reboot. While some heroes like Batman still had their previous backstory others like Superman, WW and JL were completely rebooted from scratch ;) especially the new Jl series is awesome.

I was also collecting Amazing Spider-Man for about 15 years but that One more day arc where they erased Peters marriage to MJ from history and make everyone forget that he is Spidey angered me so much that I stopped collecting Spider-Man since then.

[DarthVader 2004]

For me the way Red Skull left Cap 1 made me feel unsatisfied really to that characters end. I think people who liked Cap all knew Skull didn't die so I think he will either be in Thor 2 because maybe he ended on the Frost Giants planet or somewhere close to there and he and breaks Loki out and they cause trouble there and on Earth.
Cap 2 i would think be how he'd come back but maybe he was Transported to Titan and is a General or Lt of Thanos.

[Ramplate]

most of those? Not really possible since many (Uncanny X-Force, Avengers Assemble, Wolverine and the X-Men, AVX etc.) didnt even exist until recently :P

.

The older volumes of those characters - X Force when it first came out, Avengers (and West Coast) from the silver age up, Wolverine, X-Men (and Uncanny)

[Wolverine X]

X-Force today has nothing to do with the original X-Force. Its a black ops mutant team of assassins led by Wolverine and consisting of Deadpool, Fantomex (Weapon XIII), Psylocke and Angel (who can turn into the psychotic Archangel if he loses control) though after Archangel was exorcised from Angel (which killed him) and he was resurrected with absolutely no memory of who he is and believing himself to be a real Angel he was replaced with Nightcrawler from the Age of Apocalypse universe (The 616 Nightcrawler is dead).

X-Force was first founded on orders of Cyclops to fight the battles that the normal X-Men couldnt or shouldnt fight (battles that require killing) and some of its members then were Domino, warpath, Wolfsbane and X-23 (female clone of Wolverine who lacks his morality) but always led by Wolverine. Eventually Cyclops disbanded X-Force but Wolverine and Angel still saw a need for it and secretely reformed it (which was the beginning of the new series Uncanny X-Force) and its existence is kept a secret. The only ones who know of its existence besides its members are Logans friends who run the new Jean Grey School with him (Kitty, Iceman and Beast)

X-Men itself has been split into two different "sides" about a year ago after a massive fallout between Wolverine and Cyclops over the direction of the X-men (Cyclops wanta to train the kids into fighters while Wolverine still believes into Xaviers dream and wants them to be students and kept out of the fighting). So Wolverine took half of the X-Men and left Utopia (island home of Cyclops´X-Men) and rebuilt the destroyed Xavier school into the new Jean Grey School with himself as headmaster, Kitty as headmistress, Beast as vice principal and Bobby, Gambit, Rogue and several others as teachers.

Ever since then Cyclops´X-Men on Utopia are featured in Uncanny X-Men while Wolverine and his school are featured in the new series Wolverine and the X-men (X-Men is also still ongoing now named X-Men: Legacy and focusses on Rogue,Gambit and Xavier as main characters). Since I am a total Wolverine fan I only collect WXM now and have dropped Uncanny. Wolverine still has his own series as well and is featured in New Avengers as well (so he is featured currently in 4 ongoing series)

Avengers Assemble is a brandnew series, its not the Avengers main series that you were talking about. That one is still called the Avengers. There is also New Avengers, Secret Avengers and Avengers Academy. But Avengers Assembled is a brandnew series with a continuity of its own, the roster from the film and intended to be comic series for fans of the film (Though as far as I know it does not take place in the movie universe, it just has the same premise and characters)

[Deexan]

James Badge Dale (The Grey, Shame) has joined the cast of Marvel Studios' Iron Man 3, reports Variety.

The trade says: "Dale will play Eric Savin. In the Marvel comicbooks, he's a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army put in charge of Project: Ultra. After stepping on a land mine, cybernetic surgery is performed on him and he's resurrected as the cyborg Coldblood."

The third installment starts filming this month in North Carolina and stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Ben Kingsley and Rebecca Hall. Shane Black will direct a script he co-wrote with Drew Pearce. Iron Man 3 will hit theaters on May 3, 2013.

Dale's upcoming credits include Flight, World War Z and The Lone Ranger.

I like how they found a loophole with the whole guy-in-suit villain.

[Wyldstaar]

Eric Savin aka: Coldblood has had no comic ties to Iron Man, however the character does have ties to Roxxon Energy, which is heavily tied to Iron Man. It was Roxxon which had Howard Stark and his wife killed, and has continually funded the creation of supervillains to combat Iron Man. Roxxon had a car which was destroyed at the Gran Prix in Monaco in Iron Man 2, and the gas station in the short film, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer, so their existence in the Marvel Movie Universe is already established.

[Neverending]

Fascinating.

I worked in a comic book store for five years, and I still had to look Coldblood up on wikipedia. He's a highly obscure character of little consequence in the comics. As such, the writers of Iron Man 3 can do pretty much whatever they want with him, and no fanboys will complain about the character being ruined.

[DarthVader 2004]

Could this guy be tied into Caps Story somehow. What i mean is could this guy in Iron Man maybe work for new Hydra. I think we will see the same easter egg tie ends in Marvel. Because I think they will still try and set up Avengers 2 because it worked well this set up for Avengers 1.

[Ramplate]

No I think he's supposed to be a good guy from what I read. He wouldn't be working for Hydra

Given the character's limited history and known ties to Roxxon, I don't see any reason to believe Coldblood would show up in Cap 2, much less working for a new Hydra. Any modern incarnation of Hydra would probably be A.I.M. I would expect the organization to be run by Arnim Zola rather than MODOK, though.

The post-credits easter eggs for Phase II will probably involve Thanos or his minions. There's no longer any need to try and tie the various leading characters together into one universe. The Avengers established that pretty clearly already.

[DarthVader 2004]

I assume that Shield will be in all movies for Marvel at some point. I would like it if they had maybe cameo heroes show up that we don't know from Avengers. Marvel cartoons in the 90s were famous for having heroes pop up in different shows. I would like that in movies.

Iron Man to gets a 60 Million upgrade plus asked to deliver the Best Marvel Movie yet!

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/24014/-iron-man-3-gets-a-60-mil-upgrade

Latino Review reports that, following the success of Joss Whedon's "The Avengers", Marvel Studios has decided to bump up the budget of "Iron Man 3" from $140 million to $200 million.

Marvel is notoriously cheap when it comes to their films, but the runaway success of "The Avengers" has apparently only fuelled the need for them to 'top themselves' as it were. Thus the extra money comes with a proviso - "the crew aren’t being asked to deliver a better Iron Man movie but THE BEST Marvel movie hands down."

The story comes the day that production began on this third entry in the series which is filming in Wilmington, North Carolina under the codename "Caged Heat" and will run through to October.

[Neverending]

On a related note, I haven't been able to access SHH since yesterday. It's 2008 all over again. :(

[Wyldstaar]

Seems like a lousy time to announce a budget increase, considering that the screenplay is already done and shooting has started. Fortunately, most of this money can be used on action scenes, which comprise very little of the average screenplay. The FX folks will simply be able to create more elaborate fight scenes and whatnot, and that sort of thing doesn't effect the flow of a story.

[Neverending]

Yeah... this budget increase is 100% for the action scenes.

http://www.totalfilm.com/news/iron-man-3-adds-a-new-villain

Iron Man 3 has added another villain to its growing ensemble, with former Sunset Beach star Ashley Hamilton set to join the cast as Jack Taggert, otherwise known as Firepower.

In the Marvel universe, Taggert is the pilot of an experimental bodysuit designed by the programme, Project: Firepower. Typically, Taggert doesn't have his hands on Stark technology for long before wanting to use it against its creator…

With James Badge Dale also in line to play a potential villain in the form of Coldblood, and Ben Kingsley already in place as the film's big bad, we're keeping our fingers crossed that Shane Black doesn't stray into Spider-Man 3 territory with this one.

In other casting news, former director Jon Favreau has confirmed he'll be reprising his role as Happy Hogan, Tony Stark's driver-cum-bodyguard, so perhaps he'll be able to lend some advice as to how to juggle so many villains.

Iron Man 3 will open in the UK on 3 May 2013. Let's hope that's the last of the bad guys for this movie at least...

He merged with Captain America? What is this, Amalgam? They should totally do a Dark Claw movie.

[Neverending]

During the events of the "Dark Reign", Norman Osborn created a new identity, the Iron Patriot (an amalgam of Captain America and Iron Man), to cement his standing as a hero. As the Iron Patriot, he utilized a version of Iron Man's armor. The armor featured superhuman strength, enhanced durability via a pliable crystalline material with a molecular structure that can collimate into super-hard planes upon the application of an electrical field, flight, magnetic impact blasts, heat seeking missiles, miniaturized lasers, flamethrowers, and a communications system housed in his helmet which allowed him to interface with any U.S.-controlled satellite or computer network. While the original Iron Man armor utilized repulsor technology, Osborn's design does not; Stark destroyed all but one repulsor, and stated that "Oz is too stupid" to make his own repulsor-based weapons system. The star shaped Uni Beam projector on his chest, because of its shape, also has a less powerful output than that of the original Iron Man model.[59]

This is truly bizarre news.

The way that the rights to Marvel characters is split up is really weird and interesting. So Sony owns the rights to Norman Osborn (and his first alterego, the Green Goblin) but because his second identity was an Iron Man homage Marvel owns the rights to his second alterego? Despite the fact that Osborn was the only Iron Patriot?

It's curious why they're doing the character at all then. But I guess they're just going to make the Iron Patriot someone else.

[Neverending]

The Iron Patriot is probably gonna be the government's Iron Man. Remember in part 2 they were trying desperately to get an Iron Man suit.

[Daniel]

I thought Mandarin was confirmed as the villain? Am I behind on my news?

[Deexan]

It's rumoured that Kingsley is indeed the Mandarin but will only appear sparingly, possibly setting it up for Iron Man 4.

First and foremost is the apparent confirmation that Ben Kingsley will be playing The Mandarin, Iron Man’s seminal comic-book nemesis and the scientific genius who eventually gets his hands on the mystical ten rings.

However, while Mandarin’s status in the comic-books is as Iron Man’s most nefarious enemy, in this film he’ll be playing a supporting role to Guy Pearce’s primary antagonist, the scientist Aldrich Killian. Killian is the man responsible for creating the Extremis project which he will use to power hisnew “Extremis Army”.

Said army is where new cast additions James Badge Dale and Ashley Hamilton come in. They will play Coldblood and Firepower respectively, a pair of super-powered individuals who derive their powers from Killian’s pioneering technology.

The final reveal is that the Patriot Armour, a cross between Iron Man’s suit and Captain America’s design aesthetic, will make an appearance in the new film. How exactly it will figure in the story remains to be seen, but leaked on-set images have shown that it will play a role somewhere along the line.

I'm scared about Marvel again. They keep proving me wrong but this time I'm sure they're going to trip and make a crap movie.

[Fanible]

Can't say I particularly enjoyed IM2 that much, and I thought TIH was awful, so I don't think they're perfect by any means. I still like the efforts they're putting into their IPs though. More than DC anyway.

[MovieBuff801]

Anyone here from North Carolina? They're filming there right now. Go spy for us!

I live in Durham and tried to get to Raliegh when they were filming there, but couldn't. I don't know if they're still there.

I agree. Iron Man 2 is so much better the second time around. I think I may even like it more than the original.

Suit smoot just make a good movie

[docstop]

Ya, hope that suit isn't going to be used very much in the movie. Maybe for a desert based Iron Man. Looks like what many hockey teams are doing these days where they take a team jersey and basically to try and sell more of them they flip the team's colors around.

New Iron Man 3 Set Photos Featuring the Iron Patriot and Mark XLVII Armors

How is it the Mark 47? Is this some sort of flashforward or time travel movie? We haven't even got 10 models yet!

[Wyldstaar]

How is it the Mark 47? Is this some sort of flashforward or time travel movie? We haven't even got 10 models yet!

Maybe Tony has begun building specialized armors that don't see regular use, as has often been done in the comics. Hulkbuster, Thorbuster, stealth, aquatic, outer-space, etc.

[Tolkien]

That'd make sense. After the events of The Avengers, I'd see him making suits to fit any kind of combat situation that would arise. Though, I have a question about Iron Patriot. From what I read, isn't he supposed to be Norman Osborn?

[Alien]

Well I'd guess Norman is being replaced with someone else. I think I read it was War Machine Mk2.

We saw that his normal suit can work as an aquatic suit at the start of Avengers and I've never understood why he'd have Hulkbuster armour and not just use it as his every day armour. If you can take down the Hulk you can take on anything with that armour.

[Henri Ducard]

isn't he supposed to be Norman Osborn?

In the comics? Yes. In the movie? No.

[Wyldstaar]

In IM2, it was established that Tony already planned to give the Mark II to Rhodey because he expected to die of palladium poisoning. As it happened, Rhodey took it ahead of schedule. Since the War Machine armor got heavily damaged during the battle with the Hammeroids and Crimson Whiplash Dynamo, it makes sense that he would replace it with an updated model. I would expect the new model to have all sorts of built-in safeguards to prevent tampering or over-inquisitiveness by government researchers.

I'm guessing its because the armor would need a lot more power to work when fighting the Hulk. If this occured it could maybe drain his Ark reactor to dangerous levels... would make for an interesting, mindblowing action scene.

I've found the third movie after a sucky second one is often pretty good. Die Hard 3, Indiana Jones 3, Bourne 3.

Ditto.

Also; The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Toy Story 3, Goldfinger.

[Dhamon22]

The second IM wasn't good at all but man that was an awesome trailer.

[FilmJerk]

Someone posted this on one the Youtube links, so not sure how validated it is, somewhat spoilerish

Actually this plot doesn't revolve around Hammer. It will involved Aldrich Killian, the man who developed the Extremis virus and sold it to terrorists. The Extremis virus is basically an altered version of the super soldier serum (see C.A.) that alters your DNA via nanobots. Tony Stark modifies it to let him communicate/interact with his suit through his mind. It is long considered one of the best Ironman comic arcs and should make for a fantastic movie

[MasterChief117]

Yes, that is the story line that Warren Ellis wrote a couple years back. It was pretty damn good. It redefined the Iron Man mythology. Pretty cool to see them go that route.

[Fanible]

I think it's most definite. I've figured that's where they were going. It explains his suit number.

[Wyldstaar]

The fact that the armor which appears to be going rogue and attacking Pepper in the trailer is also the one that doesn't look all that great kinda makes sense. You don't want the audience to associate the hero's armor with doing bad things. The resolution to this problem is to use a form which looks very different from what the audience is familiar with. The armor that Tony uses in the big finale will likely be new and improved, but more in keeping with how we expect Iron Man to look.

Wow, Feige gave a way a lot in this article. Love the continuity from the Avengers. Tony is staying hidden more and more, building and modifying suits? When I heard this I really hope there is a hint to the Hulk-Busting armor. I can picture a scene in Avengers 2 where the team is assembled and Banner is walking around and gets a peek of a massive suit of Iron-Man armor. Tony comes up behind him and shuts the door, looking down. Banner gets a little agitated asking why the big armor. Tony says, "The team has to be ready for anything. Even threats from within."

Sorry had to play that little scenario out in writing. lol

[Neverending]

People hated "Iron Man 2" because there was too much set-up to "The Avengers." Now watch them hate "Iron Man 3" because, once again, it focuses too much on "The Avengers." I've already come to accept that all these movies are one series, but I don't think people have as well.

[FranklinTard]

quit generalizing everyone's hatred, you do this for every movie you think is good and others think is bad. people didn't like im2 because it wasn't a good movie. that said, the first one really isn't that good either but rdj carries it easily.

[Neverending]

people didn't like im2 because it wasn't a good movie.

Yes... but there's a reason WHY people think it's bad. Unless you're lacking brain cells, no one says something is bad without backing it up with an opinion. Go and read the Iron Man 2 review thread. Everyone explains why they disliked it and most of it has to do with all The Avengers sub-plots.

[Nick1988]

Me personally it was that Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark was incredibly annoying in Iron Man 2, where in Iron Man 1 he came across like a like able *******, he was down right annoying in Iron man 2, and literally every time him and Pepper Potts talked it lead to a 2 minute long annoying argument, basically everything that i loved about the first Iron Man was gone in Iron Man 2, far and away one of the most dissapointing comic movies i have seen.

[Fanible]

I also was pretty disappointed with the villains, which had great potential and good actors behind them.

[FranklinTard]

I don't remember anyone complaining about avengers subplots, the problem was the writing. Terribly shallow simplistic villains, ridiculous melodrama and just an overall anticlimactic finale.

[Wyldstaar]

I for one, don't hate Iron Man 2. I like it. It's nowhere near as good as the first Iron Man, but it was far better than many other sequels. They can't all be The Empire Strikes Back or Wrath of Khan.

[Neverending]

I also was pretty disappointed with the villains

Terribly shallow simplistic villains

The villains were affected by The Avengers set-up. As soon as Whiplash is EASILY defeated at the race tracks, the movie switches gear and starts focusing on Nick Fury, Black Widow, SHIELD, and Tony Stark getting his s--t together after his drunk party/brawl with Rhodie.

[Nick1988]

i actually liked Rockwell's Justin Hammer , but the movie was way to cluttered and i agree , the avengers subplot affected potential great villains in rockwell's hammer and rourkes whiplash

[Mikey-Bizzle]

I didn't mind Iron man 2. It isn't as good as the 1st obviously but it's alright. I enjoyed it more 2nd time round tbf

[Henri Ducard]

It's definitely better the 2nd time.

[IanTheCool]

Iron Man 2 had a lot of problems, one of which was he infusion of too much avengers set up. But it wasn't the only think. The dialogue was both poorly written and delivered, and the plot was a pretty big mess (Re: the Iron Man/War Machine fight).

[Bane]

The script needed more Black Widow wardrobe malfunctions

[Wyldstaar]

Meh... is giving this poster too much credit. That Iron Patriot paint scheme just looks awful. It looked stupid in the comics, and it looks even more absurd in real life. They should have stuck with the War Machine look.

[Dhamon22]

Yeah, bad poster.

[Tolkien]

He should have been kept in the War Machine suit. Iron Patriot is Norman Osborne, not Brody.

[Alien]

Iron Patriot in the movie universe is basically a modern day robotic WW2 Captain America. Both are fighting for the military in a suit made from the Star-Spangled Banner.

So since Cap has thawed out why do they need Iron Patriot and what was wrong with War Machine?

[Neverending]

War Machine is clearly too bulky. Iron Patriot is an attempt to be sleeker like Iron Man.

[docstop]

I liked the bulk of War Machine. The more weapons the better!

[Alien]

Wasn't the bulk of War Machine the point? The military stole the vanilla Mark II suit and they aren't as good as Stark when it comes to working on it. That makes War Machine bulky and more tank like and still not as good or as strong and Iron Man's Ferrari suit.

Iron Patriot looks too much like a recoloured Iron Man as if Stark helped them with it. And that is something he said he wouldn't do in Iron Man 2. Unless Iron Patriot turns out to be a third act deus ex machina that Stark has made to have help taking on The Ten Rings/The Mandarin I don't think I'll ever like it. Hell I don't think I'll ever like the paint work.
