Exclusive!
Iron Man 3 New trailer shows Tony Stark’s biggest, baddest tech yet:
Video, Info, New Screens
The trailer finds a battered Tony Stark and his old pal James “Rhodey” Rhodes (Don Cheadle) in dire straits, as is their habit. “We do need backup,” says Tony, to which Rhodey responds, “That’s your department.” Then two armored suits streak across the sky, followed closely by a pack of additional armors. They come to a stop and hover; seven in a row with many more flying up from behind. They vary in size, color, and even the shape of the glowing reactor in their chests. “There’s my boys,” Stark says like a proud papa.
Then we see something new. A suit smashes through a shipping container, sending steel barrels flying. It’s blue and bulky with a rectangular light at its center. It runs like a linebacker about to sack the QB, and it looks more imposing than any of Tony’s previous creations.
So what is it? That’s not entirely clear. In recent comics, Tony Stark has developed a Heavy Duty Armor, an oversized, extra-fortified suit for when his regular one just won’t do. But the squared-off head and massive shoulders of this suit are also reminiscent of an earlier suit known in the comics as “The Hulkbuster.” That armor was actually an add-on to his existing suit that Tony designed in the event he ever ran afoul of Bruce Banner’s alter ego (which, of course, he did). Word is that what you see in the trailer is not truly the Hulkbuster suit like the one in the comics, though it certainly does look well-equipped to take on all comers, green-skinned or not.
Tony Stark calls his suit with his mind
MILD SPOILER ALERT:
While you don’t see it in the trailer, Tony is even able to command his suit to form onto someone else. When Pepper (Gwyneth Paltrow) is blown backwards by rocket fire, Tony sends the armor to encase her before she slams into a wall. And when he gets dragged under water as his house slides into the ocean, his glove is able to detach from his hand and pull him to safety.
Tony will need all the new tricks at his disposal to take on the Mandarin, an international terrorist who makes his fight with Stark very personal. The Mandarin enlists genetic scientist Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) to conduct experiments on unwilling subjects, including Pepper. Tony does have Rhodey/War Machine, though, whose own suit gets an upgrade, a red-white-and-blue paint job, and the new name, Iron Patriot.
We’ll see how it all comes together when “Iron Man 3” opens this year’s summer movie season, blasting into theaters on May 3. (By Matt McDaniel | Movie Talk)
