Joss Whedon's
The Avengers was a big, bold and intensely fun
movie that offered jaw-dropping action sequences, face-offs that had
fanboys and fangirls uncontrollably geeking out, and plenty of witty
one-liners. Most admirably, no member of the assembled ensemble seemed
to outshine any other. But now with
Iron Man 3 geared up for its
spring release, the focus goes back to the less-than-humble genius,
billionaire, playboy, philanthropist and smirking quipster Tony Stark,
who jump-started it all.
We got a first look at
the Iron Man 3 trailer
last month, and from the looks of it, things are going to get dark for
Stark. Kicking off with Tony bloody and on his back, his narration
speaks of regret, nightmares and fear. What follows is a pained looking
Pepper Potts, the utter annihilation of Stark's cliff-perched mansion,
and then Tony all alone dragging his dead suit through a cold and harsh
landscape. None of Robert Downey Jr.'s trademark swagger is on display,
none of Tony's exhilarating arrogance. No jokes. But despite all this,
Marvel Studios producer Kevin Feige promises the latest installment will
not be a "serious movie." Speaking to
Yahoo Australia, he said:
"It's not a serious movie, but we seriously dig into exploring more of
Tony. The trick is just trying to make great movies. We try to make them
all great, all different and all fresh. What you'll see in Iron Man 3 is some very unique directions that were taken."
This unique take on Iron Man is helmed by Shane Black, who memorably
worked with Downey before on the pitch-black showbiz comedy
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
I mention it here because it too deals with deeply dark topics—like
incest, rape and murder—yet manages to be blisteringly funny. Of course,
Iron Man 3's requisite PG-13 rating should keep things from
getting too taboo, but expect Tony to dabble in his dark side while
keeping his resilient sense of humor in tact.
Iron Man 3 will be hit theaters May 3rd, 2013. Until then, you can

The
trailer for Marvel’s upcoming Iron Man 3 may
seem really dark, but the film’s executives say the serious tone is
part of a new spin that is supposed to make the movie distinct from this
year’s
The Avengers.
When the trailer was released for
Iron Man 3, which debuts in 3-D on May 3, 2013, TIME’s Lily Rothman
wrote
that it lacks the “wisecracking Robert Downey Jr. who made the
character so fun in the first place.” Downey, who plays industrialist
Tony Stark/Iron Man, complains,”I can’t sleep, and when I do, I have
nightmares,” perhaps hinting that the traumatized businessman would make
for a very serious action star this go-round.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige
confirmed to
The Western Australian that viewers will see a different side of the character, but the film will still be fun to watch:
“It’s not a serious movie, but we seriously dig into
exploring more of Tony. The trick is just trying to make great movies.
We try to make them all great, all different and all fresh.”
Feige spoke more about Stark’s transformation in the newest
Empire magazine as
quoted by the comic book news site
Comic Book Movies:
By the end of Avengers, when a portal is opened up in
Manhattan and he’s met Thor and The Hulk and the Chitauri are coming
down on him, he realises that he doesn’t know everything; we think that
has had an effect on his psyche, and then his world is blown out from
underneath him.
And because work on
Iron Man 3 started before
The Avengers came out in theaters, do not expect to see any other Avengers in it, Feige also told
Empire magazine.
Iron Man 3 director Shane Black stressed that viewers should not compare the newest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to
The Avengers, per
The Western Australian:
“We’re not aiming for bigger, necessarily. We’re aiming
for different and fresh and new. It’s all about capturing that
lightning-in-a-bottle feel, about trying to get as much into this as we
can. We’re looking to get a ton of thrills into a short space, to make a
nice little stew for you.”
Of course, the villain in the new movie will be fresh. That’s The Mandarin—a very scary Ben Kingsley. Feige told
Empire:
He’s relentless. Assuming that he’s the one responsible
for what happens to Tony’s house, no other villain has been able to
strike that fast and that hard at one of our heroes. He’s very much
about believing that the world needs to learn, and he wants to bend the
world to his vision.
