Picking up after The Avengers, Iron Man 3 finds everyone's favorite egotistical superhero billionaire fearing for the safety of his world, especially Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow). Based on the trailer, it looks like Tony (Robert Downey, Jr.) has good reason to worry.
Joining the usual cast are newcomers Guy Pearce, Ben Kingsley, and Rebecca Hall.
It looks like Iron Man 3 is taking the franchise in a darker direction. Hopefully director Shane Black sees fit to include the humor that has been one of the franchise's defining features up to this point (I'm sure he will), but the prospect of seeing Tony mature in the face of so much adversity is an interesting one. RDJ has consistently delivered one of the most entertaining performances in the genre, and he should have even richer material to dig into here.
Iron Man 3 opens May 3.
