Potential Trailer Description For IRON MAN 3!

The ever-reliable Ain’t It Cool News has posted a description they were sent of a potential trailer to Shane Black’s Iron Man 3. From what I’ve read here, it seems vastly different in tone from the SDCC footage, and completely different than anything Marvel has previously produced (which is good), as noted in the description. The site say that this could be one of many trailers under consideration right now, but frankly this seems amazing so if it’s legit, and given the site’s track record it probably is, I seriously hope this will be the trailer we end up getting. Read it for yourself below…

It opens with a voice over of Tony Stark talking about how the events of New York (I’m assuming the Avenger Movie) changed him, and how he’s just not “into it” anymore.   First scene is Iron Man with battle damage,  laying down amid rubble and taking of his faceplate to show a bleeding Stark. Scenes of him arguing with Pepper Potts in the armory  (cool shots of alternative Iron Man suits including the red white and blue one we’ve seen on your site already),  press conferences, Tony looking solemn, Tony talking with someone who looks like a psychiatrist, and a short shot of Don Cheadle in military uniform (no War Machine in the preview).  Also one scene of who I presume is the Mandarin, forcefully landing and cracking the ground.  However, it looked like a silver Iron Man.  I was unable to tell in the brief view who it was  (maybe due to  unfinished CGI).

We then get a voice over from Ben Kingsley, talking about how there there are no heroes and how he will teach everyone, especially Stark, a lesson.  This is over scenes of the alternative Suits getting blown up, Stark going into surgery, and a fleet of helicopters launching missiles which blow Stark’s home up and apart  (the CGI looked nearly finished) and sending Stark and Pepper into the sea below.   Then a close up of Kingsley with no helmet in the Mandarin armor.

It ends with Iron man underwater swimming towards what looks like his “heart reactor thing”.  Then the logo, then stark walking in the snow dragging a large bag, then the logo again.

All and all, a somber trailer, dark and  humorless, which seemed more in tone with  The Dark Knight Rises than with any of the other Iron Man movies or the Avengers.

What do you think? We’ll probably get this sooner rather than later, with either Dredd or Skyfall, the former looking more likely. Sound off with your thoughts below.
