"Lesson number one: Heroes, there is no such thing."




After the amazing Avengers movie came out in May 2011 all Marvel fans have been waiting for the next wave of superhero movies. And in roughly 4 weeks the waiting will be over. Iron Man 3 is set to be released on May 3, 2013 and it looks like it is going to be really good. Not to mention, it looks like it’s going to be super intense.

While watching this trailer I feel so worried for Tony Stark played by the sexy Robert Downy Jr. Just in the trailer we can see he does not seem to be the normal, happy, and sometimes cocky Stark that we love. He admits to not being able to sleep because he is haunted by nightmares. He seems stressed and on edge, causing us as an audience to fear for him as well. I feel most touched by Stark when he admits to Pepper, played by the beautiful Gwyneth Paltrow, that he can’t "live without" her. This frightens me because I feel something big and bad is going to happen to the lovely Pepper Potts. Not to mention later on in the trailer she seems to be trapped in some kind of weird machine. And also in the trailer it seems like a suit is about to attack her while she is in bed with Tony. Which brings me to another question: What's going on with all these suits?

It seems that there will be plenty of Iron Man suits to go around in this movie. And a popular question is: what's the deal with all these suits? My theory is that Tony is trying to figure out how to let the suits run on their own without humans being inside. And then someone (someone bad) gets control of the technology and uses it against Stark. Now it's a loose theory but it's one I have. Some of my friends have also thought maybe Stark is making a bunch of suits for the Army to use. Honestly, it’s all speculation but I can't help but wonder.

The real threat here is The Mandarin played by Ben Kingsley. Kingsley in my mind is one of Hollywood's classic villains. I mean he really always plays villains and man is he good at it. I'm excited to see him bring The Mandarin to life on the big screen. With his word echoing throughout the trailer providing this ominous feel to the trailer sends chills up my spine.

With all the things blowing up, people screaming in pain, and worst of all Iron Man lying defeated in the snow, this movie is clearly going to keep its audience at the edge of its seats. So prepare yourself because in 4 weeks we will finally have our questions answered. Click the link below for the trailer; try not to freak out too much.
