Iron Man 3

Iron Man 3 will begin the countdown to The Avengers 2

Oct 16, 2011



It all began in 2008 with Jon Favreau’s Iron Man that led to a big world in Joss Weddon’s The Avengers next May. But what is Marvel’s plans for their post-Avengers films? Simple, to begin leadding up to The Avengers 2. We all know that Iron Man 3 is in development, along with Inhuman and Guardians of the Galaxy, and those films will lead up to an Avengers sequel. “It’s the first of what we refer to Phase Two of this Avengers Assemble talk, which will lead to an ‘Avengers 2.’ Those movies will be a part of that,” President of Production Kevin Fiege said at the New York Comic-con (via The Playlist).
This really shouldn’t come to any surprise as The Avengers is already looking to be a huge hit next summer. And the studio would naturally have plans for a sequel. But one of the many problems in Iron Man 2 was the over-use of SHIELD, and hopefully that won’t be a problem this time around. As big of a film as Whedon’s The Avengers is looking to be, it can only make one wonder how big the sequel would be adding Inhumans and Guardians of the Galaxy.
The Avengers will assemble next May, and Iron Man 3 will be coming in May 2013.

Iron Man 3 to shoot next May

Nov 8, 2011



Marvel sure doesn’t like to waste anytime getting their sequels ready. Joss Whedon’s The Avengers will be released next May, and it looks like Robert Downey, Jr. will be moving right into Iron Man 3 that same month. Premiere Casting has issued a casting call for extras to star in Shane Black’s Iron Man 3, and revealed the film will begin production in May 2012. Although, it’s not surprising as the film is scheduled for release in May 2013, and would have to begin around this time to meet that date.
Details on the film are unknown, but we have heard that it will have a different atmosphere than the previous two.

Robert Downey Jr. comments on Iron Man 3 script

Dec 8, 2011



While there’s many problems that were associated with Iron Man 2, it all began with the film’s script. With Shane Black writing (and directing) Iron Man 3, many are hopeful this film will turn out to be alot better. Well, Robert Downey Jr. was interviewed by Extra (via Comic Book Movies), and gave his thoughts on the script. “Iron Man 3 is probably the best script I’ve read in five years, which is so funny. I mean, things have come so full circle that a genre superhero movie can actually be the most artistic bit of writing I read. But I think The Avengers is something a lot of the fans are really looking forward to, so I’m excited about that. The third Iron Man to me is an opportunity to go back to the kind of storytelling and character exploration that made the first one good,” he said.
Details on the script are being kept secret for right now, and the only thing we’ve heard about the film is that it will be different from the first two.

And the Iron Man 3 villain rumors begin

Jan 29, 2012

Iron Man 3 is to begin shooting this May, but we have absolutely no idea as to what the film is about or the villain that Iron Man/Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) will face. Well, rumor has now surfaced that Prince Namor will be fighting Iron Man this time around, and the fiilm is said to be based off the “Demon in the Bottle” storyline. While it would be a nice departure from the previous two villains in the franchise, I don’t expect this to be true. Why? Because if I remember correctly, Marvel doesn’t own the rights to Prince Namor. Hence why he wasn’t in Captain America.
