Things aren’t looking good for Tony Stark in the teaser trailer for Iron Man 3, which has a distinctly depressing “Christopher Nolan” vibe to it.
With Kiss Kiss Bang Bang helmer Shane Black taking over from outgoing director Jon Favreau, many had suspected this would be the most wise-cracking instalment of the series to date.
But with an earnest monologue from a genuinely frightened Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and the destructive powers of The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) on display, this trailer suggests things are going to get real for this Marvel hero.
The picture also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, and Rebecca Hall.
Iron Man 3 hits cinemas April 25, 2013.
Oh yeah, counting down the days as of now. I guess I will just have to rewatch Avengers again and again until April.
