This looks awesome - more like the Iron Man I loved back in the 80s than the other films.
Also - is that a legless giant hentai sex doll in the background at 01:19?
I don't want to repeat myself after using the word "Guh" to describe the overwhelming awe I felt for the Bioshock Infinite trailer yesterday, so, in response to the new Iron Man 3 trailer, I have only this to say: GODDAMN. Suffice it to say, I'm now very glad that they released a teaser for the full trailer. If I hadn't had some kind of warning before watching this thing, I would have likely had my head torn off by the sheer awesomeness of it.

1. I forgot Guy Pearce was going to be in this - awesome!
2. For some reason I was thinking this was coming out in May not April - a month sooner? More awesome!
3. I like that the tone is different and continues off of how messed up it must have been to survive what transpired in "the Avengers".
4. If I'm going based solely on this trailer, I'm not sure how I feel about the Mandarin. There is something about the way his voice is drawing out the words. I guess understand now how some people felt about Bane's voice in TDKR.
Nice trailer. Say, if anybody see my body, can you please direct it to the cafeteria on the first floor? I'm in some guy's minestrone soup.
Funny, when I saw this earlier this morning, it say "May 3, 2013" but now it says "April 2013."
I remember when the trailer for Iron Man 2 was released and everyone thought it looked great...and it didn't end up being great...

The scene where Tony's house is destroyed would've been 200% cooler if the gunships were replaced with Fin Fang Foom.
Watching the trailer more closely, it looks like Tony or, at the very least, the new Iron Man suit actually causes the plane crash. You can see the suit's arm bust through the side of the plane and blast one of the guys inside.
did the Mandarin just cock a gun? Seems a gun is just a little....low-tech for him.

I don't know, just doesnt' feel right that after all this time waiting for the Mandarin, they couldn't get an Asian guy to play him.
Holy fucking shit, this looks awesome. And from the 'gauntlet flying across the room' shot along with the 'Tony on an operating table' shot, it seems like the rumors about part of the Extremis story being in it are true. Whee!

Intellectual terrorist with British accent destroys superhero to teach populous vague lesson. Superhero left with only his wits and determination to relearn what is it to be a hero. Also daring mid-flight plane attack!

Oops! I mean... Iron Man!
@vermilion001.lr Hopefully Ben Kingsley won't be channelling a stoned Brian Blessed for the voice like Tom Hardy was.
@lexplex_ @vermilion001.lr I can't be the only one who liked the stoned Brian Blessed voice...
@vermilion001.lr haw, was thinking the same thing but thought everyone else would just say it for me.
Anyone thinking Iron Man 3 will be too gloomy should check out Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which was the director's previous collaboration with RDJ. It's one of my favourite movies of all time and funny as all hell.
There's nothing wrong with brooding in and of itself. That can make for an interesting, dramatic part of a movie if done right. It's just that with something like Batman that tends to be all there is. If Tony is going to have his world torn out from under him, I think he deserves a little brood time. You can't really judge a movie solely by its trailer, but odds are it won't be ALL doom and gloom.
Also, for those commenting negatively on War Machine's new paint scheme, let me ask you this. If there was a real world equivalent, is there anyone here who doesn't think the government, and much of the military, would not take advantage of such an opportunity to paint patriotism all over it?
@kirkbwriter Especially because in Iron Man 2, it was shown, that there was an arms race to reproduce the Iron man suit.
@Arsenal In this pic, it really looks like the Mandarin has a Captain America tattoo.

His tattoo also has the Avengers "A".

As long as he doesn't betray everything he stands for, fake his death and retire somewhere in Europe with some whore, I'm good to go.

@toplessrobotzilla @PCabezuelo It wasnt...making Selina a whore would have been in keeping with the comics,and we all know Nolan is incapable of that.
@vangald That worked in the comics, but I don't think anyone wants to watch the Tony goes to AA sceen.
@interloper I would cause I imagine to be a great place for his asshole ego to shine. "FUCK YOU! YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I BUILT A GODDAMN METAL WAR MACHINE OF PURE AWESOME. DON'T COMPARE ME TO THIS FUCKS!" *storms out*

I am really digging this. Love the Mandarin look. The only think I do not like is giving War Machine the Iron Patriot paint but I can deal.

Yeah. It's too bad Marvel doesn't have Norman Osborn, who is arguably one of the best villains of the 21st century. He went from third-string loony in a goblin suit to being Marvel's version of Lex Luthor, and damned if Sony doesn't waste him in their crappy Spider-Man franchises.
Tell me about it in the movie he was just crazy not cold and calculating like in the books. Don’t get me wrong crazy on a villain is good but Norman really needs to be the Lex of the marvel universe he knows he is evil he just does not care.
Awesome trailer, hits all the right notes, big wow moments, plently intrigued.
But I am definitely surprised. If you remember all the Stage 1 trailers had at least one funny moment (usually after the title pops up) but this one's pretty serious throughout and it's Iron Man of all films.

This was WAY better than I thought it would be. So awesome in fact that I am gonna give everyone involved a pass on that cool design, but weirdly colored light gold armor and the way over the top new War Machine.
I second the comment about Tony's character development carrying over from Avengers. Especially that after basically going to war and almost dying, he might be suffering from PTSD, which i wish more people would have superheroes go through, since they're lives are so traumatic and violent.
I actually don't mind the darkness . A hero's journey pretty much always include adversity to be overcome; the bigger the adversity, the greater the triumph. Cliché, yes....but do we really want a 2 hours movie of him just kicking ass and being sarcastic?
@eric.bouchard1967 That was the only thing about IM 2 that wasn't very good. Iron Man was never in any real danger from Vanko. Iron Man 1 explored more of that with the "then it is a very important week for you" quip noting Tony had to do or die to get ouf of that cave. Iron Man will be put to the test in IM3 it looks like
figured marvel could not let tony end his own trilogy by having any peace and quiet. and hope he can manage to get a new armour salvaged. plus marvel actully figured out to do the Mandarin and have to admit he looks evil. as he should. nice
@GarethPrime man i hope ur wrong and she dies. one good point. hope there are others in the movie. i like guy peirce but if its mostly a voice over in the cg suit then that would be a waste.

@GarethPrime I doubt it. Shane Black has already publicly stated he wants to make more Iron Man Movies and he wants to see Pepper in the Rescue armor at some point. It wouldn't surprise me if that shot isn't from something innocuous, remember the original opening for Iron Man 2 had Tony freaking out and almost chickening before what looks like a deploy into a hotzone, only to reveal he's actually landed at the Stark Expo.
@kenny.hitt @GarethPrime Tony says that he can't sleep, and when he does sleep, he has nightmares. The armor at the bed is probably a nightmare, and she'll certainly survive the house being blown up.

@kenny.hitt @GarethPrime Let's hope they don't take out Mandarin then. It's FAR too rare in films that we have a nemesis actually capable of surviving a movie. Loki's among the few.
I mean, Mandarin strikes me as a villain who COULD be on a Blofeld level. Ditto for HYDRA - would love to see the 2012 version of the organization someday.
@GeneralTekno @kenny.hitt @GarethPrime
I'd rather see Stark get on the bad side of A.I.M. and M.O.D.O.K..
Of course, if they use Hydra again, we might see Spider-Woman eventually... And I'm all for Spider-Woman, as played by Jessica Biel (if she's not already tied up playing Captain Marvel, which would also make me happy).
@GarethPrime God, I hope not...I mean, aside from the fact I actually LIKE Pepper, it's that there's little I despise more than killing off a character just for cheap drama. And one of those is killing off a character to give ANOTHER one a cheap dramatic moment. And women tend to fare worse along those lines in comic-book stories than men. :(
@Ranchoth @GarethPrime Calling it now. Pepper is pregnant,and loses the baby after the attack by The Mandarian.
Say what you will, but the Green Lantern movie could have done with a refrigerator scene.

Hey, you know, come to think of it, that means it would actually have been really FITTING for this movie to be one where a character escapes certain doom by hiding in a refrigerator to escape the blast.
@Ranchoth A 'nuke the fridge' meets 'women in refrigerators' scenario that actually turns out to be a win/win? I've seen it all now.
@Ranchoth @GarethPrime Uhm, all fiction, including cheap character deaths, are "just" for the drama? That's how writing works. I dont see what the problem is.
