For the fourth time Robert Downey Jr. is reprising his rightful role as Tony Stark. With Iron Man 3 merely months away, Marvel sat down with Downey to discuss his portrayal of the character, and how director Shane Black is no stranger to Iron Man.
Give it a read if you have the time. If you don’t, make the time right now. You know you want to.
Last week the official Facebook page for Iron Man promised a new trailer, and it make good on that today. The latest trailer for Iron Man 3 has a lot more scenes that weren’t shown before, along with additional dialogue from Tony Stark and the Mandarin talking about each other. It’s romantic foreboding. The end of the trailer shows multiple Iron Man armors in flight, putting to rest the rumors that the Extremis virus allows Stark the ability to control multiple armors at once.
And speaking of multiple armors, I gotta say it’s awesome to see the Hulkbuster armor making an appearance in the trailer.
Iron Man 3 hits theaters May 3. I really, really cannot wait.
Couldn't be more excited that #HalleBerry has joined the cast of #XMen #DaysofFuturePast. Hopefully she can improve the weather in Montreal.

The cast for Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past is growing with original and new actors. So it came as no surprise that Halle Berry is reprising her role as Storm.
Eh.
Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man had Oscorp playing a significant role in the plot, but there was no sight of Norman Osborn. All we got was some mentions and a shadowy figure that implied the man. The sequel is underway and one of the casting announcements was Dane DeHaan of Chronicle as Norman’s son, Harry Osborn. With Harry and two villains cast, it seemed unlikely that Norman Osborn would enter the picture.
Yesterday the official Iron Man 3 Facebook page released a new poster featuring a battle-worn Iron Man and a fleet of Iron Man armors taking flight. Although heavily damaged, with Tony Stark’s shoulder and hand exposed, the armor he wears is still powered on. It more than hints that Stark was injected with the Extremis virus — wait, you don’t know what Extremis is and don’t want to know spoilers? Then do not continue reading.
Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is currently filming, and a few set photos have made their way online. We get our first look of Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane Watson, along with some pictures of Spider-Man in his new costume. And if the pictures aren’t clear enough, the official Facebook for The Amazing Spider-Man released an official photo showing off the redesign of the costume.
With the main cast of Iron Man 3 receiving their own character posters, it’s only right that Tony Stark’s better half gets her own. Gwyneth Paltrow’s Pepper Potts looks distraught holding a heavily damaged Iron Man helmet. Curiously enough, the helmet is still powered on — or it’s just a stylistic choice.
Iron Man 3 releases in theaters May 3.
It was safe to assume that Fox would abandon the Fantastic Four property after its lackluster performance in the box office. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the case. Okay, maybe not unfortunately; just maybe. Matthew Vaughn, who brought us X-Men: First Class, is on board as the producer for the reboot of Fantastic Four. Josh Trank of Chronicle has joined to direct.
