April 23, Tuesday Iron Man 3 and Upcoming Movies
Welcome to the first Marvel Universe Fan Blog entry! This blog is all about the Marvel Universe and looking at it from a fans point of view. I will mostly write about Marvel movies and video games. In the first couple of entries I will mostly be writing about the upcoming movie: Iron Man 3 which comes out May 3, just ten days away. Iron Man 3 is the continued story after the first Iron Man movies and The Avengers(2012). Marvel has already gave a lot of information on Iron Man 3 on their website. (Marvel.com) As well as conversations with the actors. In the movie we'll get to see new Iron Man armours and some of Tony Stark's (Robert Downey Jr.) new and updated technology. Plus we'll get to see James Rhodes, or Rhodey, (Don Cheadle) in his new Iron Man armour: Iron Patriot. As well as the Mandarin(Ben Kingsley) who will be the villain in Iron Man 3. It is possible we'll see Bruce Banner again, not as the Hulk but just Bruce Banner. It's possible but I can't confirm it. If Bruce Banner is going to be in it, I hope he will be played by Mark Ruffalo. There has also been a rumour that Iron Man 3 might be linked to the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy. The rumour says that at the end of Iron Man 3, Iron Man will fly into space and supposedly meet the Guardians of the Galaxy. But since no actors have been announced for Guardians of the Galaxy, it's likely the rumour is not true. Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) will also be getting some action. In a clip from Marvel.com, Pepper is put into the Mark 42 suit to protect when Stark's mansion is being attacked. It hasn't been the first time though, in the comics Pepper has here own suit named "Rescue". But as I said, Pepper will be in the Mark 42 armour not Rescue. In addition to the Mark 42 armour there will be many other new Iron Man suits. For example the Mark 17 or "Heartbreaker". (Below: Mark 17 Artillery Level RT Suit, "Hearbreaker")
It is a pretty impressive suit and it will be exciting to see it in action. The Mark 17 is slightly different from the suits we've seen in Iron Man 1 and 2 and looks more heavy-duty. Another new Iron Man suit we'll see in Iron Man 3 is the Mark 33 aka "Silver Centurion", as seen in the comics. (Below: Mark 33, Enhanced Energy Suit, "Silver Centurion")
It's quite similar to the comic version and hopefully it will get some cool action scenes. Next is the Mark 35 aka "Red Snapper". (Below: Mark 35, Disaster Rescue Suit, "Red Snapper")
It looks strongly built and very powerful. According to Marvel.com, it is a disaster rescue suit. It's quite different than the other Iron Man suits, especially the arc reactor and the face-plate. Next is the Mark 39 aka "Gemini". (Below: Mark 39, Sub Orbital Suit, "Gemini")
I've seen photos of this suit in space and it's been said that if at the end Iron Man 3 (if the Guardians of the Galaxy rumour is true) this will be suit Tony Stark takes into space. If the rumour is true. Next is the Mark 40 aka "Shotgun". (Below: Mark 40, Hyper Velocity Suit, "Shotgun")
The Mark 40 is one of my personal favourites. (which is why there is two photos) There is big difference in this suit than the others and looks as if built for speed. And lastly the Mark 38 aka "Igor". (Below: Mark 38, Heavy Lifting Suit, "Igor")
A lot of people thought the Mark 38 was the Hulk-Buster suit, but the Mark 38 is nicknamed "Igor". I also highly doubt Tony Stark would build a Hulk-Buster suit after he worked with Bruce Banner in The Avengers. So that is all the armours I got off of Marvel.com but I'm sure there is many more. And speaking of suits Rhodey, as seen in the previews, becomes the Iron Patriot. The Iron Patriot is a unique suit painted red, white, and blue.
Plus we'll see newer characters like Aldrich Killian (Guy Pierce) and Maya Hansen. (Rebecca Hall)
Aldrich Killian (Guy Pierce)
Maya Hansen (Rebecca Hall)
In the film Maya Hansen creates a formula called Extremis. Basically what Extremis does is make you super-human. It's been said that the Mandarin's army has been injected with Extremis. Which might explain why they sort of "glow", if you've seen the trailer.
I don't know if it's just me, but they look like tough opponents and Iron Man might just need help from Iron Patriot. Not much has been said about the Mandarin's army and there hasn't been that much of them in the trailers either. Previously I thought the Mandarin would have an army similar to the one in the TV show, Iron Man Armoured Adventures. Hopefully these guys in the movie will be tough to beat so we will get to see some good action scenes. But all stories have to have some sort of second-in-command. It's possible Aldrich Killian might I be that person but I cannot be completely sure. This theory of mine came from an Iron Man 3 LEGO set where War Machine and Iron Man are fighting Killian and he looked as if he had been injected with Extremis. This might also be that situation where Killian likes Pepper but she's in love with Tony Stark, so Killian joins the Mandarin to seek revenge on Tony and so forth. This might not be the case, it's just one of my many theories. So I've already given you a good handful of information and I'm sure there's a lot more for me to discuss about. As Robert Downey Jr. stated, Iron Man 3 will probaly the best movie out of all three Iron Man movies. I can tell from the previews that Iron Man 3 will be more about of Tony Stark's life and his relationships with Rhodey and Pepper. And of course there will be new Iron Man suits which means more action. I'm also looking forward to seeing how Tony Stark's suits and technology have improved. Kevin Fiege, a producer on the film, has talked about what we'll see in the movie and more.
(spoiler alert!) We like painting Tony into a corner and taking away all of his toys and all of the immense wealth and assets and leave him with just his mind and see how he can get out of that situation. You’ve seen in the trailers that there’s an attack on Tony’s house. So by the end of the first act of “Iron Man 3,” his house is gone. His technology is gone. All he has is a barely functioning prototype suit that, soon after he escapes from the house that’s destroyed, is not functioning at all. So Tony finds himself in the middle of the United States of America, in Rose Hill, Tennessee, completely out of his element. A guy who lives in Malibu and goes to Monaco and gallivants in Manhattan in the middle of Rose Hill, Tennessee, with a suit not working, doing an investigation about the villain known as the Mandarin, to try to figure out where he is. Tony believes there are clues here that are going to lead him to find where the Mandarin is, so he drags the broken suit into a shed that he finds and takes an axe and opens it up. It turns out that he is in the little workshop of this young boy named Harley.

After Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World will be released in November Captain America: The Winter Solider Guardians of the Galaxy, The Avengers 2, and Ant-Man will all be released in 2014. In the next blog I'll write more about Thor: The Dark World, but for now here's the trailer for Thor: The Dark World:
So I hope you all enjoyed this entry, I know it's a bit rusty since this is the first entry but I'll get the hang of it. In the next Marvel Universe Fan Blog I will be writing more on Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World. I will usually do a MUFB (Marvel Universe Fan Blog) every week but since Iron Man 3 is only ten days away I will try to do it every three days or so. I hope you enjoyed and please read the next Marvel Universe Fan Blog! Thanks for reading.
