Iron Man 3 and Thor 2
Hello again and welcome to the second Marvel Universe Fan Blog! Last time I wrote about Iron Man 3, today I have some more information on Iron Man 3 today. Plus I have some news for Thor: The Dark World. So last time I mostly talked about the new Iron Man suits and characters from Iron Man 3. I wanted to start of with the topic of Extremis, the formula that makes you super-human. A few days ago, Marvel.com posted a video explaining Extremis and what it does. We also got a closer look at the Mandarin's army. You know, instead of me talking about the video let me just show it to you.
The Mandarin's army might just be more powerful than I originally thought. Hopefully all this power provides some stunning and awesome action scenes. All the Iron Man 3 trailers seem to prove that this film is going to leave some great results. The first Iron Man movie was the beginning of Iron Man and we saw the Mark 1, 2, and 3. In The Avengers we saw the Mark 7. And in Iron Man 3, Tony Stark's has reached a total of 42 suits. (wow) And each suit is unique and there have been many different variants from the first three suits. Marvel has only shown several of the new suits (see last previous blog entry) and hopefully we'll get to see the rest in Iron Man 3. Beside Tony's improvement in his Iron Man suits, we'll also see improvement in his technology. For example, his awesome hologram tech and his many methods of getting an Iron Man suit on and off. In the first Iron Man film there was a big clunky machine that took the suit off of Tony but there were some difficulties. In The Avengers, Tony Stark had a machine built on Stark Tower which got his suit off quickly and efficiently. And in Iron Man 3, Tony Stark has found a way to assemble the Mark 42 by calling separate pieces of the suit as seen in the trailer. Tony can also send a command for the Mark 42 to assemble on to someone other than himself and in this case it's Pepper, also seen in the trailers. Now I wanted to talk a little about the plane scene as seen in the trailers. In the trailer thirteen passengers get thrown of the plane because of an explosion. When Tony Stark tries to rescue them J.A.R.V.I.S. (Just A Rather Intelligent System) tells Tony he can only save four of them. Now, in this scene, you might of expected them to do this on a green screen. But we all know Marvel, they always try to bring the best quality they can to a movie. So they did this seen for-real. The Iron Man 3 crew first did some test shots on this scene and when they saw how awesome it looked they decided to go ahead film it. They re-shot the same scene sixty-two times with hidden parachutes and got some amazing results. This scene is probably going to be one of the best and most memorable scene of the movie.
The world premier of Iron Man 3 was just yesterday and it seemed everyone there had a good time. If you missed out you can watch a video from the event in this link:http://marvel.com/ironman3live The excitement is really growing for the ones who haven't seen Iron Man 3 yet, me included. As well as Thor: The Dark World. In fact, a trailer for the second Thor movie has just been released recently. And of course you want to see it if you haven't yet. Well no worries, here it is:
Thor: The Dark World will be released November 8, 2013. As seen in the preview, Jane Foster is taken to Asgard, and rather suddenly I might add. You also saw this guy in the preview if you looked closely:
That is none other than Malekith the "Dark Elf". He's also been seen in a recent TV show called The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
Malekith is one of the villains in the movie but I don't believe he is the main villain. Marvel.com's synopsis states that "Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos...but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand." So from what I understand, there is something even more powerful than Malekith and his ancient army. It will be great, I think, to see some bad-guys go against Thor other than Loki. Also Sif will be in Thor: The Dark World, as seen in the trailer. Hopefully we will also see the Warriors Three again and see some more action from them. Odin, Thor's father, will be in it of course. I do not know about Eric Selvig though. I haven't heard anything about him so we'll see. Oh yes, Loki was in the trailer. This is the part I'm most excited to see. I always liked seeing Loki and Thor together as brothers like in the animated movie Thor: Tales of Asgard. But we never really saw their relationship in the first Thor movie. I'm wondering if we'll actually see Thor and Loki fight together in Thor: The Dark World since Thor had came to Loki for help. (And what happened to Loki's hair?!) So we'll see. Before I sign off, I wanted to go over the upcoming Marvel movies. So Iron Man 3 is coming out in just eight days and Thor: The Dark World will be released November 8, 2013. The Wolverine, a sequel to X-men Origins: Wolverine, will come out July 26, 2013. A sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man will be released May 2, 2014. Rhino and Electro are going to be the bad-guys for this sequel. Captain America: The Winter Solider (Bucky's alive!!! YAY!) will come out April 4, 2014. Guardians of the Galaxy will be released August 1, 2014. And The Avengers sequel will be released sometime next year. X-men Days of Future Past will be released July 14, 2014. Wow, busy year...or years. I hope I didn't miss any movies. OK then, I hope you all enjoyed! I'm going to take a break from blogging just for the weekend but hopefully I'll get the next M.U.F.B. (Marvel Universe Fan Blog) posted by 29. Next time I'll talk more about these upcoming movies and I've been wanting to talk about upcoming Marvel video games so make sure you check in Tuesday! OK then, thanks for reading and- Oh yes! Just remembered, here's a recent TV spot from Iron Man 3. (My favourite one yet) Enjoy and see you next time!
