Iron Man 3 is a 2013 American superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Iron Man, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.1 It is the sequel to Iron Man and Iron Man 2, and the seventh installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, being the first major release in the franchise since the crossover film The Avengers. Shane Black directed a screenplay he co-wrote with Drew Pearce, which is 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.[6] Robert Downey, Jr. reprises his role as the title character, with Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, and Favreau reprising their roles as Pepper Potts, James Rhodes, and Happy Hogan, respectively. Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Stephanie Szostak, James Badge Dale, and Ben Kingsley round out the film's principal cast.
After the release of Iron Man 2 in May 2010, Favreau decided not to return as director, and in February 2011 Black was hired to rewrite and direct the film. Throughout April and May of 2012, the film's supporting cast was filled out, with Kingsley, Pearce, and Hall brought in to portray key roles. Filming began on May 23, 2012 in Wilmington, North Carolina. The film was shot primarily in North Carolina, with additional shooting in Florida, China and Los Angeles. The film's visual effects were handled by a number of companies, including Scanline VFX, Digital Domain, and Weta Digital.
Iron Man 3 was converted to 3D in post-production.[7] The film premiered at the Grand Rex in Paris on April 14, 2013,[1] and was internationally released on April 25, 2013 in IMAX[8] and is scheduled to be released on May 3, 2013 in the United States.
Plot
Sometime after the events of The Avengers, a haunted Tony Stark has obsessively built several Iron Man suits in his mansion. This causes friction with his girlfriend, new Stark Industries chief Pepper Potts. In a flashback to New Year's Eve 1999, Stark, with his scientist paramour Maya Hansen, arrogantly avoids crippled scientist Aldrich Killian, who wants Stark's backing in his endeavor Advanced Idea Mechanics (AIM).
In present-day America, a string of bombings by terrorist the Mandarin has left intelligence agencies bewildered at the lack of forensic evidence. When Stark Industries security chief Happy Hogan is caught in one such attack, Stark revives himself from his stupor and issues a televised threat to the Mandarin, who responds by destroying Stark's home with helicopter gunships. Potts and Hansen, who had come to warn Stark, survive the attack. So does Stark, who finds himself in rural Tennessee after his artificial intelligence JARVIS follows a flight plan from Stark's investigation into the Mandarin. Stark's experimental armor lacks sufficient power to return to California, and the world believes him dead.
Teaming with Harley, a precocious 10-year-old boy, Stark investigates the remains of a local explosion bearing the hallmarks of a Mandarin attack. He discovers the explosions were triggered by soldiers from the Extremis program, an experimental treatment intended to allow its users to recover from crippling injuries. However, if a user's body cannot properly metabolize Extremis, the user heats up and explodes. After veterans started growing unstable and exploding, their deaths were used to cover up Extremis' flaws by manufacturing a terrorist plot. Stark witnesses Extremis first hand when Mandarin agents Ellen Brandt and Eric Savin attack him.
With Harley's help, Stark traces the Mandarin to Miami. Stark then infiltrates the headquarters using a variety of home-made weapons where he discovers the Mandarin is actually a British actor named Trevor Slattery, who is oblivious to the acts the Mandarin has carried out. The Mandarin is a creation of Killian, who appropriated Hansen's Extremis research as a cure for his own disability and expanded the program to include injured war veterans. Killian reveals he has kidnapped Pepper and subjected her to Extremis, intending to infuse her with superhuman abilities and turn her against Stark as leverage to gain Stark's aid in fixing Extremis' flaws.
Killian has also manipulated American intelligence agencies regarding the Mandarin's location, luring James Rhodes — the former War Machine, now rebranded as the Iron Patriot — into a trap to steal the armor. Stark escapes his captivity and reunites with Rhodes, discovering Killian intends to attack President Ellis aboard Air Force One. Remotely controlling his Iron Man armor, Stark saves the surviving passengers and crew but cannot stop Killian from abducting Ellis. They trace Killian to an impounded oil drilling platform where Killian intends to kill Ellis on live television. The Vice President will become a puppet leader, following Killian's orders in exchange for Extremis to cure a little girl's disability.
On the platform, Stark goes to save Potts, and Rhodes saves the President. Stark summons each of his Iron Man suits, controlled remotely by JARVIS, to provide air support. Rhodes secures the President and leads him to safety, while Stark discovers Potts has survived the Extremis procedure. However, before he can save her, a rig collapses around them and she falls 200 feet to her apparent death. Stark is forced into confronting Killian and traps him in an Iron Man suit that self-destructs. Potts, whose Extremis powers allowed her to survive her fall, kills Killian, who had survived the exploding armor.
After the battle, Stark orders JARVIS to remotely destroy each Iron Man suit, as a sign of his intention to devote more time to Potts. Both the Vice President and Slattery are arrested. Potts undergoes surgery to remove Extremis, and Stark to remove the shrapnel embedded near his heart. He then pitches his obsolete chest arc reactor into the sea, musing he will always be Iron Man, even without his armor.
In a post-credits scene, it is revealed that Stark has actually been talking to Dr. Bruce Banner, who awakens after having fallen asleep while Stark was recounting the events.
Cast
- A self-described genius, billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist with a mechanical suit of armor of his own invention and now struggles to come to terms with his near-death experience in The Avengers.[2][9] On making a third Iron Man film, Downey said, "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."[10] On following up The Avengers, Downey said 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?".[11]
- Stark's girlfriend, longtime associate, and CEO of Stark Industries.[12][2] Paltrow says of her character's relationship to Tony, “[She still] adores Tony, but she absolutely gets fed up with him. He gets caught in a feedback loop.”[13] Kevin Feige comments on Pepper's role in the film: "The love triangle in this movie is really between Tony, Pepper and the suits. Tony, Pepper and his obsession with those suits, and the obsession with technology." Feige also states that the film plans to play with the damsel in distress trope with the character and posits the question, "Is Pepper in danger or is Pepper the savior?"[14] Paltrow has confirmed that Pepper will wear the Iron Man armor in the film.[15]
- 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 redesigned/upgraded War Machine armor taking on an American flag-inspired color scheme similar to the Iron Patriot armor from the comics.[16][9] Kevin Feige said of Rhodes and the armor, "The notion in the movie is that a red, white and blue suit is a bold statement, and it’s meant to be. With Rhodey, he’s very much the foil to Tony’s eccentricities, and in this one you get to see this and be reminded of the trust and friendship between them in that great Shane Black buddy-cop fashion."[17] Feige also revealed that in the film, the president will ask Rhodey to take up the moniker "Iron Patriot", and don the red, white and blue suit, in order to be the government's "American hero" in response to the events in The Avengers.[18]
- The creator of the Extremis virus[19] and the founder of Advanced Idea Mechanics.[20] Killian developed Extremis as a cure for his own debilitating disability; in addition to his regenerative healing qualities, he also has superhuman strength and the ability to generate extreme heat. Prolonged exposure to Extremis also grants him the ability to breath fire. 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."[21] Pearce described his character as a man "who came into this world with a number of physical disabilities. He’s never been able to accept those limitations though and has spent most of his life trying to overcome them in any way he can. His tenacity and blind determination in fighting for a better life are seen by some as irritating, as he often comes across as obnoxious. He just won’t accept the cards he was dealt, and being as intelligent as he is, has real drive to change and become a different person."[20]
- Rebecca Hall as Dr. Maya Hansen:
- A botanist whose work helped create Extremis.[22][23][9] Hall confirmed that Hansen would be a "strong female character," 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."[24]
- A war veteran who became an assassin after her exposure to Extremis.[25][9] Describing Brandt, Szostak says, "...[Extremis] was a second chance at life. We talked about what you feel like and I think it almost makes you a fuller version of who you are, all your weakness and your qualities - just everything gets enhanced. I saw it as very freeing, almost you become your true-self and your fantasy-self all at once."[26]
- Killian's Extremis-powered henchman.[27][9] Dale stated that his character in the film was "loosely based on" the comic version of the character.[28] According to Dale, "Ben Kingsley is the mouthpiece. Guy Pearce is the brain. I’m the muscle.”[29]
- Tony Stark's former bodyguard and chauffeur, now Stark Industries head of security. Favreau, who served as both actor and director on the previous two Iron Man films, described his participation on the new film saying he was "like a proud grandfather who doesn't have to change the diapers but gets to play with the baby."[30]
- A drunken British actor hired by Killian to pose as a terrorist who calls himself the Mandarin and claims to be the leader of the international terrorist organization The Ten Rings.[31][32][9] 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."[33] The Mandarin was initially set to appear in the first Iron Man film, but he was put off for a sequel as the filmmakers felt that he was "too ambitious for a first [film]".[34] On the character, Feige stated, "The Mandarin is [Iron Man's] most famous foe in the comics mainly because he’s been around the longest. If you look, there’s not necessarily a definitive Mandarin storyline in the comics. So it was really about having an idea."[17] Shane Black explains that Ben Kingsley's Mandarin is not Chinese in the film as he is in the comics in order to avoid the Fu Manchu stereotype: “We’re not saying he’s Chinese, we’re saying he, in fact, draws a cloak around him of Chinese symbols and dragons because it represents his obsessions with Sun Tzu in various ancient arts of warfare that he studied.” The filmmakers also cited Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now as an influence for the character.[35]
- Ty Simpkins as Harley.[25]
- The first time a child is featured prominently in the Iron Man films, Harley plays is a troubled child who lives with his mother who works all hours after his father leaves them before the events of the film. After Stark arrives in this town he becomes Stark's sidekick [36] and helps to repair his suit as well as tracking down the Mandarin.
Paul Bettany reprises his role from previous films as JARVIS, Stark's AI system.[25] Ashley Hamilton portrays Jack Taggert / Firepower,[37] and Wang Xueqi plays Dr. Wu.[38] Initial reports had Wang playing Chen Lu, who was Radioactive Man in the comics.[39] William Sadler plays President Ellis,[40][25] and Stan Lee makes a cameo appearance as a beauty pageant judge[41] and Fan Bingbing[42] and Wu Jing[43] were cast in unspecified roles. Mark Ruffalo makes an uncredited cameo appearance in a reprisal of his role as Dr. Bruce Banner from The Avengers in a post-credits scene. Miguel Ferrer plays Vice President Rodriguez. Shaun Toub reprises his role as Yinsen from the first Iron Man film in brief cameo.
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.[11]
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.[44] On October 18, 2010, Walt Disney Studios agreed to pay Paramount at least $115 million for the worldwide distribution rights to Iron Man 3 and The Avengers.[45] Disney, Marvel, and Paramount announced a May 3, 2013 release date for Iron Man 3.[46]
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 an executive producer of Iron Man 3.[6][47] In February 2011 Shane Black entered final negotiations to direct[48] and write the screenplay,[49] and in March Drew Pearce was hired to co-write the screenplay.[50] 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.[49] 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."[10]
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.[51] In April 2012, Ben Kingsley entered into negotiations to play a villain in Iron Man 3.[31] 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.[52] 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."[53] 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.[54]
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.[19] 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.[55] Jessica Chastain entered into discussions for a role in the film[56] but bowed out due to scheduling conflicts.[22] In May, Rebecca Hall was cast in her place,[22] and her role was described as "a scientist who plays a pivotal role in the creation of a nanotechnology, known as Extremis".[23] Over the next few weeks, James Badge Dale was cast as the villain Eric Savin,[27] Ashley Hamilton was cast as the armored villain Firepower,[37] and Jon Favreau was set to reprise his role as Happy Hogan from the first two films.[57] William Sadler was also cast in the film, as the President of the United States.[40] Despite erroneous early reports that Cobie Smulders would reprise her role as Maria Hill from The Avengers in the film,[58] Smulders wrote on her verified Twitter page that this was not so.[59] Scarlett Johansson also dismissed rumors she would reprise her role as Black Widow in the film.[60]
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,[61] with a large Christmas tree set up on the front lawn.[62] A scene was also shot at the Wilmington International Airport.[63] On set photos in North Carolina featured an actor wearing armor similar to the "Iron Patriot" suit from the comics.[64] It was later reported to be the War Machine armor painted in red, white and blue.[16] Another picture appeared online showing a building with a sign saying AIM, Advanced Idea Mechanics.[65] 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.[66] 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.[67]
From July 19 to August 1 filming took place on Oak Island, North Carolina, to "film aerial drops over the Atlantic Ocean".[68] In late July, it was reported that Stephanie Szostak had been cast in the film.[69] Filming took place in Rose Hill, North Carolina in early August 2012.[70] On August 14, actress Dale Dickey said she had been cast in the film, and was currently shooting her scenes.[71] On August 15, production was halted when Robert Downey, Jr. suffered an ankle injury.[72] Shooting had resumed by August 24.[73] In early September, it was reported that Wang Xueqi had been cast for a role for which Lau had initially been cast.[39]
Cast and crew began arriving in Florida on October 1, to shoot scenes on Dania Beach and around South Florida.[74] That same day, Robert Downey Jr. returned to the set after his ankle injury.[75] In early October, scenes were shot at a replica of the Malibu restaurant Neptune's Net,[76] and filming took place on location at the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens.[77] Scenes were shot during the daytime inside the Miami Beach Resort at Miami Beach on October 10 and 11.[78] The production returned to Wilmington in mid-October for additional filming.[79] On November 1, scenes were shot at the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens[80] and at an abandoned cement factory made up as an Afghanistan village market.[81] Filming in the United States wrapped on November 7 in Wilmington.[82]
Filming began in Beijing, China on December 10. Filming was scheduled to wrap a week later on December 17, 2012.[38] The China filming did not include the main cast and crew.[82] In January 2013, it was reported that a film crew led by Shane Black would begin location scouting in Hyderabad, India and Bengaluru, India between January 20 and 24.[83] Also in January, Don Cheadle confirmed that reshooting was taking place in Manhattan Beach.[84] Shooting also took place on the week of January 23, 2013 at TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.[85]
Post-production
Unlike the first two Iron Man films, Industrial Light and Magic is not involved with the film's visual effects. Instead, Scanline VFX, Digital Domain, Weta Digital, Framestore, The Third Floor, and Trixter Film worked on the visual effects for Iron Man 3.[86]
Music
In October 2012, Brian Tyler signed on to score the film.[87] The score is being recorded with the London Philharmonic Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios utilizing the recent Dolby Atmos recording technology.[citation needed] Tyler is the third primary composer to score an Iron Man film, following Ramin Djawadi of Iron Man and John Debney of Iron Man 2.
Disney Music Group announced in March 2013 that the concept album Heroes Fall and the film's original soundtrack would be released on April 30, 2013 by Hollywood Records and Marvel Music.[88]
Release
Iron Man 3 will be distributed worldwide by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures1 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.[54] The Chinese version of the film will offer specially prepared bonus footage made exclusively for the Chinese audience.[89] The United States premiere of the film was held at the El Capitan Theatre on April 24, 2013.[90] The UK premiere of the film, originally set for April 17, was pushed back to the 18th in order to avoid possible unrest over the funeral of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, which took place on the 17th.[91] The film will be shown at a Korona World theatre in Nagoya, Japan in the 4DX format, featuring strobe lights, tilting seats, blowing wind and fog and odor effects.[92] Regal Cinemas, AMC Theatres and Carmike Cinemas put presale tickets on hold, two weeks before the US premiere. The cinemas are in a contract dispute with Disney, who wish to receive more of the ticket sale profit then they currently do, largely based on the projected premiere-weekend intake Iron Man 3 is expected to have. Carmike has since come to terms with Disney.[93] It was later reported that Cinemark Theatres had also stopped selling presale tickets, and Regal Cinemas had removed all marketing material for the film from its locations.[94] On April 25, 2013, AMC and Disney ended their dispute, which allowed AMC to proceed with selling presale tickets again.[95]
Marketing
In July 2012, at the San Diego Comic-Con International, a new Iron Man armor from the movie, the Mark XLII, was on display on the convention floor, along with the Marks I-VII from the first two Iron Man movies and The Avengers.[96] A panel was held, during which Shane Black, Robert Downey, Jr., Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau and Kevin Feige discussed making the film, and several minutes of footage from the movie were shown.[30] The first television advertisement aired during Super Bowl XLVII on the CBS network in the United States.[97] On March 25, 2013, Marvel and Disney revealed on the official Iron Man Facebook page, "Iron Man 3: Armor Unlock", to reveal suits Stark has made before the events of the film.[98]
Disney also promoted the film at its domestic theme parks. Disneyland's Innoventions attraction received a Stark Industries exhibit beginning April 13, and Monorail Black of the Walt Disney World Monorail System was given an exterior Iron Man scheme.[99][100] The exhibit, entitled "Iron Man Tech Presented by Stark Industries", features the same armor display that was shown at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con, with the Marks I-VII and the new Mark XLII. In addition, there is a simulator game, titled "Become Iron Man", that uses Kinect-like technology to allow the viewer to be encased in an animated Mark XLII armor and take part in a series of “tests,” in which you fire repulsor rays and fly through Tony Stark’s workshop. The game is guided by JARVIS, who is voiced again by Paul Bettany. The exhibit also has smaller displays that include helmets and chest pieces from the earlier films and the gauntlet and boot from an action sequence in Iron Man 3.[101]
Tie-in comic
In January 2013, Marvel Comics released a two-issue comic book prelude by writers Christos Gage and Will Corona Pilgrim with art by Steve Kurth and Drew Geraci. The story set between Iron Man 2 and Iron Man 3, centers on War Machine and what he was up to during the events of The Avengers and why he was not present during the battle in New York. Comic Book Resources gave the first issue two-out-of-five stars, saying the writing is front-loaded with exposition and overly terse at the end, and the art, while not awful, flounders compared to other superhero comics.[102]
Reception
Critical reaction
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 93% approval rating with an average rating of 7.7/10, based on an aggregation of 46 reviews.[103] Breaking-Views India said Iron Man 3 is a perfect summer blockbuster for the entire family.[104] Giovanni Fazio, in his review for the Japan Times, called the film "a popcorn flick par excellence".[105]
Box office
Iron Man 3 earned $13.2 million in its opening day overseas.[106]
Future
According to director Shane Black, Robert Downey, Jr.'s contract with Marvel Studios, which expires after the release of Iron Man 3, may extend in order for the actor to appear in a second Avengers film and at least one more Iron Man film. He said: "There has been a lot of discussion about it: 'Is this the last Iron Man for Robert [Downey, Jr.]?' Something tells me that it will not be the case, and [he] will be seen in a fourth, or fifth." Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has said that the character of Tony Stark will continue to be featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe regardless of Downey's involvement.[107] Downey has since said he is open to extending his contract, stating he feels "there's a couple other things we've gotta do" with his character.[108] Black told the Independent that Downey will return as Stark for the fourth film.[109] In an April 2013 interview, Don Cheadle mentioned the possibility of James Rhodes appearing in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and The Avengers sequel.[110] Cheadle told Empire magazine that Iron Man 3 could be the final film in the series: "The door is always left open in these kinds of movies especially when they do as well as they have done. I know there was talk of making sure we did this one right, and if it worked it could be the last one. There's room for more to be done with these characters. We're getting to a sweet spot with Tony and Rhodey, anyway. Robert's really busy, he's just had a kid, and if he were to say I need a break for a second, I would not blame him."[111]
After the post-credits scene, a final line states "Tony Stark will return".
Notes
- ^ As part of the deal transferring the distribution rights of future releases of Marvel Studios films to the Walt Disney Studios, the Paramount Pictures logo appears instead of any Disney logo, as was the case in the film The Avengers.[112]
