IRON MAN 3 won’t be ‘SERIOUS’

Yep, you read that right fanboys and fangirls, apparently despite the rather Nolan style trailer that seemed to offer a very serious tone the next flick for old shell-head is going to be a not-as-serious venture as we were all led to believe.  How to we know this without seeing the script, well check out the quote below.

Here’s what Marvel Studios President, Kevin Feige, had to say in a recent interview:

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.

Contrast that with the director’s own statement:

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.

If you don’t remember the trailer, here it is for your viewing pleasure:
