trailer is amazing watched it like 20 times. Looks like hulk is in it our someone with oversized pants. So iron man justin hammer was in it wasnt he?. Who were the other two major "business" rivals for him if anyone remembers the comic. The 1990s cartoon had the three business rivals of Tony Stark (just can't remember the other two)
Wasn't Justin Hammer, was a different character played by Guy Pearce.
It could be Zeke Stane?
It's Aldrich Killian, who creates Extremis

Sir Ben would fit right in with the dwarves in the Hobbit.
Give him a makeover and he's practically a standin for Gandalf.
http://geektyrant.com/news/2012/11/2...ron-man-3.htmlIn a recent interview with Empire Magazine, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige talked in detail about Shane Black's Iron Man 3, and what fans can expect to see in the awesome looking third chapter! Thanks to CBM we have a few quotes from the interview that includes info on Robert Downey Jr.'s on-set injury, the destruction of Tony Stark's Malibu mansion, other superhero cameos, the role of The Mandarin in the franchise, the Iron Patriot, and a lot more!
On Robert Downey Jr.'s On-Set Injury:
On The Destruction Of Tony Stark's Malibu Mansion:Robert is very gung-ho about doing his own stunts, but he's also very safety conscious and aware of his limitations. He wasn't even attempting to do anything above or beyond what would be considered safe - it was just a wire-assisted leap from one platform to another, and he came down in the wring position on that ankle. It was a good old fashioned accident. The silver lining was that Shane started to work on the cut and continued to work on the script, and hone and refine the movie itself.
On Increasing The "Risk" Factor:It's an amazing sequence. The first time we looked at an animatic of that sequence was well over a year ago. It was one of the first signs that Shane was going to bring a level of spectacle you hadn't necessarily seen before, as well as all the Shane Blackisms that this movie is chock-full of.
On Where The Movie Picks Up After The Avengers:Avengers was a risk. Casting Robert Downey was a risk. We like taking those kinds of risks, and Iron Man 3 is full of risks. I wouldn't say those risks were ratcheted up or down because of the success of The Avengers. It basically boosted our confidence that the risky way to go is often the best way to go.
On The Mandarin's role In The Movie and The Franchise as a Whole:This is all about how he was affected by the events of The Avengers, and how his world and mindset can be affected by that. By the end of Avengers, when a portal is opened up in Manhattan and he's met Thor and The Hulk and the Chitauri are coming down on him, he realises that he doesn't know everything; we think that has had an effect on his psyche, and then his world is blown out from underneath him.
On Why Rhodey is Suiting Up As Iron Patriot:Early - and very late - drafts of Iron Man 1 featured The Mandarin as a villain. The Mandarin is his 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. In terms of the Fu Manchu stereotyping that was involved, we never had any interest in that. He's relentless. Assuming that he's the one responsible for what happens to Tony's house, no other villain has been able to strike that fast and that hard at one of our heroes. He's very much about believing that the world needs to learn, and he wants to bend the world to his vision.
On Whether Iron Man 3 Will Have Any Cameos From The Other Avengers: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.
On Making This The BIGGEST Iron Man Movie Yet:Iron Man 3 doesn't feature any of the other Avengers, or Nick Fury showing up, or any of those world-blending conceits that the Phase One films had. You have to keep in mind that Iron Man 3 had been in the works for almost a year, year and a half before The Avengers was released. We're sticking to the vision for these films, and showing once again that these characters are just as interesting alone as they are together.
There's more suit action in Iron Man 3 than there is in any of the other movies. But there's also more Tony Stark action - just Tony as Tony when he's not in the suit - in Iron Man 3.

http://geektyrant.com/news/2012/11/2...-it-looks.htmlThat first trailer that Marvel released for Iron Man 3 showed us a very serious and dark looking film. A lot of us fans loved what we saw, but at the same time we were surprised by the different feeling tone of the film. It's not going to be as serious as Marvel made it out to be though, even though they blew the hell out of Tony Stark's mansion. In an interview with The West Austrailian, Marvel Studios producer Kevin Feige explained,
Director Shane Black added,It's not a serious movie, but we seriously dig into exploring more of Tony. The trick is just trying to make great movies. We try to make them all great, all different and all fresh. What you'll see in Iron Man 3 is some very unique directions that were taken.
Then Robert Downey Jr. threw in his two cents saying,We're not aiming for bigger, necessarily. We're aiming for different and fresh and new. It's all about capturing that lightning-in-a-bottle feel, about trying to get as much into this as we can. We're looking to get a ton of thrills into a short space, to make a nice little stew for you.
You can dissect why [The Avengers] was the right movie with the right people and the right director at the time. But we feel the same way about Iron Man 3 now.

I saw the trailer and was pleasantly surprised at how much shit they are throwing Tony's way.
http://geektyrant.com/news/2012/12/2...-villains.htmlIn a recent interview with ShowBizz411, actor James Badge Dale who plays Eric Savin in Iron Man 3, gave a brief analysis of the villainous characters in the film. He plays one of three villains in the movie. Savin is a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army who ends up stepping on a land mine leading him to become a cyborg called Coldblood. Here's what he had to say,
You might remember dale from the HBO World War II series The Pacific. He was awesome in that show, and I have no doubt he'll be great in Iron Man 3 as well. We still have yet to see what his character will look like in the film, so that's something to look forward to. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige also talked about the Mandarin again in another Entertainment Weekly interview saying,Ben Kingsley (The Mandarin) is the mouthpiece. Guy Pearce (Aldrich Killian) is the brain. I’m the muscle. Being in a big CGI action movie is a weird departure for me. I’m more of a ‘put two guys in a room and we’ll just talk to each other’ style of actor. But I had a lot of fun. I learned to ride a horse. I got to beat up grown men in robot suits and shoot zombies with Brad Pitt.
And here's a little tidbit on Iron Patriot....Our version of this character wants to push those buttons in everyone, in every different country, all around the world to his own ends.
It is not Norman Osborne in there, as opposed to the comics. We were inspired by that look and that suit, and again symbolism – what those icons mean.

Wow three villains? Hope they don't go into Spiderman 3 territory with this one.
I'm afraid every one is going to get too little exposure =( you have tony, war machine, three villains, and whatever shenanigans happens along the way.
I feel like TDK did a good job in 2 1/2 hours with only 1 1/2 villains and 1 1/2 main protagonist to worry about, really interested in how they handle this.
It sounds like they're working as a team though, so instead of 3 separate villains(like in spidey 3) we have 1 team vs. iron man.
