Someone asked for a footage description:

There's an opening scene where Tony Stark is in his lab, with a sign saying "Stark R&D Department." He's being filmed by his camera bot. And he's talking to the wall of old Iron Man suits. "Good afternoon ladies," he says to them. "Welcome to the birthing suite." He's about to welcome the arrival of their "bouncing badass baby brother." He asks Jarvis for seasonal music, and Jarvis puts the needle down on a record of hip hop Christmas music.

Standing around his many armors, Stark commands his JARVIS computer to being the test. Stark strikes a kung fu pose — nothing. He taps his forearm, trying to get something inside to work, before striking the pose again. Suddenly, from across the room, the Iron Man glove comes flying on to his arm. This is the Extremis in its beginnings, a type of armor ripped straight from the comics that allows Stark to control his Iron Man suit...with his mind. After the glove flies on to his arm, he tells Jarvis to let it rip. Pieces of armor start flying on to his body, but it's all starts happening too quickly. Now the metal braces are zipping every which way, breaking Stark's lab and forcing him to dodge like he's got Spidey sense. Eventually, all the pieces assemble on his body, save for the face mask. Turned upside and soaring straight at him, Tony does a flip in the air, rips his glove jets and clips the final piece of armor on upside in the air. Tony Stark: always a showboat.

Then there's a funny scene where Tony is talking to Happy Hogan, his "former" head of security. Happy says he's quit, because people laugh at him when he says he's Iron Man's bodyguard. Plus Iron Man is busy off joining the Superfriends. Plus Happy Hogan's grandmother saw a big robot snake come out of the sky in Manhattan and jumped out the window. Tony says it's been taken care of.

The final big set piece was when a bunch of helicopters with rocket launchers come and destroy Tony's giant house, causing it to tumble into the sea. Tony gets into the Iron Man armor in time, but Pepper Potts is also caught in the disaster. And Tony watches all his spare Iron Man suits blowing up one by one. Tony is flung out into the water and carried down by the undertow. Over this, the voice of the Mandarin says, "Some people call me a terrorist. I consider myself a teacher. Lesson number one: Heroes. There is no such thing. As you cry out for mercy, you will be silenced."

In true Marvel fashion, the trailer had an end teaser of its own. Who is Ben Kingsley? He's none other than notorious Marvel villain The Mandarin. The leader of the Ten Rings terrorist group. He's got a crazy hairdo — shaved in the back with a single ponytail. He's decked out in flowing robes and a ton of bling. Ten rings is right! Kingsley looks evil as hell, and he sits awaiting Stark's next move in a throne fit for Iron Man's ultimate villain.

All of this sounds soooo amazing... I really hope for a well-staged and well-balanced movie, not another "IM2", "THOR" and "Avengers".
 
The new color scheme reminds me of a desert camo type look. Could this be a desert suit? Anyone know if plot has anything to do with Middle East?
Just trying to guess the purpose of drastic change in look.
 
lets be honest; Stan Lee, Don heck and Jack Kirby clearly had a time machine and based Tony stark/Iron man on RDJ. Theres no other explanation.
:goodpost:
No kidding... look at this video. Tony and RDJ are basically the same person
:lecture

Marvel may as well shoot themselves in the foot now, shut down the franchise and throw billions of dollars out the window if they even consider trying to cast anyone else as Tony Stark. The very thought makes me sick to my stomach.

I think he said it best at the end of the first movie: "The truth is...I am Iron Man."
 
His entrance was great it was just over from where I was seated. There where some comments made by everyone basically to Marvel that he must stay Tony Stark. Also as far as the footage I think this will be the best of the iron man series for sure.
 
I was in North Carolina on vacation this past week. The local news ran stories of Iron Man 3 filming at some school inland Weds and Thurs. We were with other families so I didn't get to attend. :gah:

Love those vids of RDJ, he is just the man plain and simple. Marvel is nothing without him.

Come on! Look what he does for the kids!

Agreed with all of you, I didn't read the older post but I think there are more who like the same. RDJ must stay on as Tony Stark!!! He should stay as Tony Stark for as long as he want. I hope Marvel don't get any funny ideas and hire some other actors to fill the role. Like what Techlife said, the very thought of Marvel thinking of replacing RDJ does make me sick to the stomach.
 
If they don't sign him to a new contact I will personally lead the fanboy army Bane style standing on top of a police car that burns down Marvel Studios. :lecture

Question: This type of footage used to leak after being shown, but not anymore. Is there more control over people recording the footage with their cameras or phone?


I wouldn't mind watching some of the footage, no matter how ____ty of quality... I don't think any of us would.

I've been hunting all morning and haven't found it yet. You'd think there has to be someone out there who has it. There were clearly plenty of cameras there from the bazillion flashes we saw in that short entrance clip alone.

Exactly! There were just too many people with cameras, somebody must have something, though I also have been looking to no avail.
