Trailer Tuesdays - Iron Man 3

For the first edition of what will now be known as Trailer Tuesdays, I came across this wonderful gem on the Fan Expo Canada Facebook page. Marvel has officially released the full (two minute length) trailer for Iron Man 3. Yes, there is a third installment in this franchise - but did you really expect anything less?

Without further adieu...here it is!

Iron Man 3 sees the return of Robert Downey Jr. in the title role that in all purposes, revitalized his career and made him a bonafide action star. Let's be honest, his character all but carried the entire The Avengers film. So it's great to see him in a definite starring role as his Marvel superhero. Also starring in the film are returning actors Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle and new big baddie Sir Ben Kingsley! Wow! What a fantastic choice for this film's villain.

This trailer sets up this film for what I hope will be the perfect end to a superhero trilogy - please, Marvel, do not make any more Iron Man movies. Downey Jr., although superb in this role, is getting old and can't be running around saving people in an iron costume forever.

The action looks incredible. The story line? Meh. All in all, looks like this film will be the perfect way to kick off the Summer 2013 Movie List.

I was just happy to see that it was "Iron Man 3" and not "Iron Man 3D". But this is Marvel, so I am not counting out 3D yet. Yikes.

*Update* After further research into this film, I have discovered that it will indeed be a 3D movie. And worse yet, it will be converted to 3D in post production. Hasn't anyone in the film production industry learned from the tragedy that was Clash of the Titans?? Oh, shudders.

For more information on the upcoming film, check out the Marvel website or the Wikipedia page.
