Iron Man 3 is an upcoming American superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Iron Man, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures.1 It will be the sequel to Iron Man (2008) and Iron Man 2 (2010) and will be the seventh installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, being the first major release in that franchise since the crossover film The Avengers (2012). Shane Black is set to direct a screenplay by himself and Drew Pearce, which will be based on the "Extremis" story arc by Warren Ellis. Jon Favreau, who directed the first two films, serves as executive producer along with Kevin Feige.[1] Robert Downey, Jr. reprises his role as Tony Stark / Iron Man, with Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle reprising their roles as Pepper Potts and James Rhodes respectively. Iron Man 3 is scheduled to be released on May 3, 2013.

Cast

A billionaire who escaped captivity with a suit of armor he created, who now struggles to keep his technology in the right hands. On making a third Iron Man film, Downey replied "My sense of it is that we need to leave it all on the field — whatever that means in the end. You can pick several different points of departure for that."[3] Downey, who had previously starred in Black's film Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, said "Bringing in Shane Black to write and direct Iron Man 3 to me is basically the only transition from Favreau to a 'next thing' that Favreau and the audience and Marvel and I could ever actually sign off on."[3] On following up The Avengers, Downey said that they "tried to be practical, in a post-Avengers world. What are his challenges now? What are some limitations that might be placed on him? And what sort of threat would have him, as usual, ignore those limitations?"[4]
Stark's best friend, the liaison between Stark Industries and the U.S. Air Force in the department of acquisitions and the operator of the War Machine armor. Asked whether his character would wear armor in the film, Cheadle stated "I do suit up. There are some different iterations that War Machine goes through, in this film. I don’t want to give them away, but it’s fun to see those things morph and shift."[4]
The leader of a terrorist organization, and Iron Man's archenemy. He will be portrayed as more of a behind the scenes villain in the film.[7] Kingsley was filming Ender's Game when he was cast, and said that "Quite soon I'll be with everybody and we'll be discussing the look and the feel and the direction of the character. It's very early days yet, but I'm so thrilled to be on board."[8]
The creator of the Extremis virus. On why he took the role, Pearce said "I feel a little more experimental in what I'll take on these days, but I still don't know that I would want to play the superhero myself, since I'm playing a different kind of character in this film... The main difference was that, when I did The Time Machine, I was pretty much in all of it, so it was a really grueling experience. Prometheus and Iron Man are really kind of cameo stuff, so the experience of shooting them... I mean, on some level, it's tricky because you feel like a bit of an outsider. You don’t really live the experience that you do when you're there all day every day with everybody. But at the same time, it can be more fun sometimes because you're just working in concentrated spurts."[10]
One of the Extremis creators and an ex-flame of Tony Stark. Hall confirmed that Hansen would be a "strong female character" in the film, and described her decision to take the role, saying "I decided to do Iron Man 3 because I've never done the 'hurry up and wait' movie before. Even the studio movies I've done have been small studio movies, or indie films that we made on a wing and a prayer. I love those, but Iron Man is refreshing in a way because it's something out of my realm of experiences."[13]

Jon Favreau will reprise his role from previous films as Happy Hogan,[17] and Stan Lee will have a cameo.[18] William Sadler[19] and Stephanie Szostak[20] were also cast in unspecified roles.

Production

Development

"Truthfully, the way to go about doing a part 3, if you’re ever in that position, as I’m lucky enough to be, is to find a way that the first two weren’t done yet. You have to find a way to make sure that the story that’s emerging is still ongoing and, by the time you’ve finished 3, will be something resembling the culmination of a trilogy. It’s about, 'How has the story not yet been completely told?,' and I think we’re getting there. I think we’ve really found ways to make this feel organic and new, based on what’s come before, and that’s what I’m happy about."

Shane Black, director of Iron Man 3, on the film.[4]

Following the release of Iron Man 2, a conflict between Paramount Pictures, which had distribution rights to certain Marvel properties, and The Walt Disney Company, Marvel Entertainment's new corporate parent, clouded the timing and the distribution arrangement of a possible third film.[21] On October 18, 2010, Walt Disney Pictures agreed to pay Paramount at least $115 million for the worldwide distribution rights to Iron Man 3 and The Avengers.[22] Disney, Marvel, and Paramount announced a May 3, 2013 release date for Iron Man 3.[23]

Iron Man and Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau said in December 2010 that he would not direct Iron Man 3, opting to direct Magic Kingdom instead. He remained an executive producer of director Joss Whedon's crossover film The Avengers and will also serve as a producer of Iron Man 3.[1][24] In February 2011 Shane Black entered final negotiations to direct[25] and write the screenplay,[26] and in March Drew Pearce was hired to co-write the screenplay.[27] Black described his take on the film as not being "two men in iron suits fighting each other", and more like a "Tom Clancy thriller", with Iron Man fighting real world type villains.[26]

Pre-production

In September 2011, Marvel Studios reached an agreement to shoot the film primarily out of EUE/Screen Gems Studios in Wilmington, North Carolina. Michigan was also in contention to land the production, but the Michigan Film Office could not match North Carolina's tax incentives.[28] In April 2012, Ben Kingsley entered into negotiations to play a villain in Iron Man 3.[6] The film's fake working title was revealed to be Caged Heat, and Marvel Studios worked with the Tona B. Dahlquist Casting company to hire extras in the North Carolina area.[29] The following week, producer Kevin Feige revealed that Iron Man 3 would begin shooting in North Carolina "in five weeks", and said that it "is a full-on Tony Stark-centric movie ... very much inspired by the first half of Iron Man ... [H]e’s stripped of everything, he’s backed up against a wall, and he’s gotta use his intelligence to get out of it. He can’t call Thor, he can’t call Cap, he can’t call Nick Fury, and he can’t look for the Helicarrier in the sky."[30] A few days later, The Walt Disney Company China, Marvel Studios and DMG Entertainment announced an agreement to co-produce Iron Man 3 in China. DMG will partly finance, produce in China with Marvel, and handle co-production matters. DMG will also distribute the film in China in tandem with Disney.[31]

The next week, Guy Pearce entered into final talks to play Aldrich Killian, a character who is featured in the "Extremis" comic book story arc.[9] Chinese star Andy Lau became involved in negotiations to join the film, as a Chinese scientist and old friend of Tony Stark's who comes to his aid.[32] Jessica Chastain entered into discussions for a role in the film[33] but bowed out due to scheduling conflicts.[11] In May, Rebecca Hall was cast in her place,[11] and her role was described as "a scientist who plays a pivotal role in the creation of a nanotechnology, known as Extremis".[12] Over the next few weeks, James Badge Dale was cast as the villain Eric Savin,[14], Ashley Hamilton was cast as the armored villain Firepower,[15], and Jon Favreau was set to reprise his role as Happy Hogan from the first two films.[17] William Sadler was also cast in the film, though his role was not specified.[19] Despite erroneous early reports that Cobie Smulders would reprise her role as Maria Hill from The Avengers in the film,[34] Smulders wrote on her verified Twitter page that this was not so.[35]

Filming

Filming began in Wilmington, North Carolina on May 23, 2012 at EUE/Screen Gems Studios. From June 4 through June 6, filming took place in Cary, North Carolina at the Epic Games headquarters,[36] with a large Christmas tree set up on the front lawn.[37] A scene was also shot at the Wilmington International Airport.[38] On set photos in North Carolina featured an actor wearing armor similar to the "Iron Patriot" suit from the comics.[39] It was later reported to be the War Machine armor painted in red, white and blue.[5] Another picture appeared online showing a building with a sign saying AIM, Advanced Idea Mechanics.[40] In late June it was reported that the large water tank in the EUE/Screen Gems Studios was being used to film a scene in which Stark's Malibu mansion would be destroyed and fall into the ocean.[41] It was also reported that Andy Lau had turned down the role he was negotiating to play, due to the birth of his first child on May 9. With Lau out, other actors in consideration for the role included Chen Daoming and Wu Xiubo. Chinese actresses reportedly contacted for separate roles included Yao Chen and Fan Bingbing.[42]

From July 19 to August 1 filming took place on Oak Island, North Carolina, to "film aerial drops over the Atlantic Ocean".[43] In late July, it was reported that Stephanie Szostak had been cast in the film.[20] Filming took place in Rose Hill, North Carolina in early August 2012.[44]. On August 14, actress Dale Dickey said she had been cast in the film, and was currently shooting her scenes.[45] On August 15, production was halted when Robert Downey, Jr. suffered an ankle injury.[46] Shooting had resumed by August 24.[47] In early September, it was reported that Wang Xueqi had been cast as Chen Lu, the role Lau had been up for.[16]

Shooting will later take place in Miami, Florida and China.[48]

Release

Iron Man 3 will be distributed worldwide by Walt Disney Pictures with the exception of China, where it will be released by DMG Entertainment, and Germany and Austria, where it will be released by Tele München Group.[31][49]

Marketing

At the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con Convention, the Mark XLVII [50] armor for the movie was revealed.[51]
