Marvel release the official Ironman 3 trailer

Phase 2 of the Marvel film universe is well under way with the unveiling of the first official trailer for Ironman 3, due for release on the 3rd May 2013. All indications are that things aren’t looking good for Tony and it seems he is having a hard time coming down from all the Avengers malarkey and the bad guys are getting personal with an attack on his home.

The story is loosely based on the Extremis story arc by Warren Ellis and Adi Granov hailed as one of the best loved Ironman story arcs. With the formidable Ben Kingsley playing the villain Mandarin, the trailer hints at a much darker story with Tony clearly struggling to maintain control and dealing with his nightmares as well as being attacked from more than one problem. I won’t speculate anymore but I will leave you with the synopsis to dissect, the all important trailer for you to ponder and some newly released images to peruse.

The synopsis reads:

Marvel Studios’ “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?

FYI Mandarin seems to have a Captain America shield tattooed on his neck, but what does it mean?
