[Discotheque]

Pretty damn good cast lined up for this one. Assuming Ben Kingsley doesn't sleep through this role like he's been doing for the past long while.

[shira]

Will Jon Favreau still be Iron Mans driver? That would be kind of awkward...

So many great cameo possibilities: Jude law, whedon, Howard lol, Paul walker, bana, norton

Sorry, but TH sucks in Iron Man. That's just the way it is. DC isn't perfect, but he's way better in that role than TH.

It stems from TH getting signed early and to a huge contract to lock him up. He got paid more than rdj. Everything went downhill afterwards. They lowballed him for im2.

I thought he played Rhodes really well.

[Discotheque]

I would mark out if Mel Gibson was the new driver. lol...I wish

[Slayven]

Having read extremis I still wonder how much it'll follow the book. For those who haven't it was marvel trying to give tony stark the equivalent of a mutant power. Nanomachines hide his iron man suit within his DNA so he just wills his suit to appear on his body. Kind of a dumb concept but it was a pretty good read actually. I just don't know how well some of those ideas will play on the big screen.

The suit hides in the hollow sections of his bones.

[Pachinko]

The suit hides in the hollow sections of his bones.

bones / dna, whatever. It was kind of a silly premise. Somehow it worked though.

[enzo_gt]

Extremis and Mandarin all in one film?

Someone hold me :')

But yeah Extremis might be a hard sell in a movie.

[Slayven]

Hey it helped him beat Sentry and grow a new foot.

[Darth Kupi]

Anyone have a links to how people know these behind the camera happenings of the Iron Man movie franchise.

I hate the inconsistency in the series.

Terence Howard gave IMO the perfect performance, actually looks like he could be in the armed forces, whereas cheadle does not and phoned in his performance.

I'd like to know the full dirt on this as well as Favreau's departure as director.

IMO Maggie Gyllenhaal swapped in for Katie Holmes was the only time I ever thought doing an actor swap was a good decision.

*sigh, tear*

[Krauser Kat]

Extremis is an Awesome arc for iron man. making him a legitimate super hero because he essential becomes a cyborg. Him deleting his brain as a result of complications later makes it all worth it.
Also written and directed by shane black of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Lethal Weapon fame. Cant wait.

[Kaizer]

Extremis and Mandarin all in one film? Someone hold me :') But yeah Extremis might be a hard sell in a movie.

At least the premise sounds way better than the entirety of IM2. I still enjoyed that film, but man did the plot suffer and it dragged alot in the middle.

[Hot Coldman]

Terence and RDJ did have fantastic chemistry, but I can't see the Rhodey character being as important now they've gotten the introduction of War Machine out of the way (and the idea of Iron Man is settled in with people now he's an Avenger so the conflict over Stark being a "vigilante" isn't a factor) so Terence isn't a huge loss this time. Plus, I'd rather they keep things as consistent as possible from here on out, bringing back Terence would be fucking weird. (Also, he sounds like a prat and deserves to not be involved with this film and the buttload of money it will bring in)

[Pie and Beans]

Terrance was a terrible Rhodey. TERRIBLE. That any of you think that the character he portrayed would ever suit up in something as gruffly named as the WAR MACHINE suit: you're crazy. And terrible. Yourself.

He played a good damp squip foil to Tony, but Rhodey as a character is a hell of a lot more than that. He doesnt believe in non-lethal weaponry like Tony does, he often busts out "ends justify the means" rhetoric, and is a grumpy ol' bear a lot of the time.

[PaleFolklore]

She is extremely talented. I would hate to see her waste that talent on Iron Man 3. I'd love to see her work with Jeff Nichols again. Take Shelter was fantastic.

[The Outsider]

Don't think this deserves another thread, so I'll put it here:

http://www.superherohype.com/news/ar...ing-iron-man-3

NeonPunch (via Twitch) is reporting that Andy Lau is in negotiations to play an old friend of Tony Stark in Marvel Studios' Iron Man 3. The site says the friend "represents China’s technology sector – and will use China’s armored heroes to HELP Iron Man defeat “The Mandarin” who is seen as a terrorist against both the US and China." He would be joining a cast that includes Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Ben Kingsley and Guy Pearce. Shane Black will direct the third installment, scheduled to be released on May 3, 2013. As we previously reported, the film will be co-produced in China. Filming will start in May in the United States and move to China later this summer.

So Extremis and the Mandarin?

[WonkersTHEWatilla]

Andy Lau in Iron Man 3? Would be really cool.

[Htown]

Extremis yesssssssss

[3N16MA]

She was hot in "The Help."

Carry on.

[Tobor]

Don't think this deserves another thread, so I'll put it here: http://www.superherohype.com/news/ar...ing-iron-man-3 So Extremis and the Mandarin?

Thats a lot of movie. Marvel's keeping the gas on the pedal.

[The Outsider]

Thats a lot of movie. Marvel's keeping the gas on the pedal.

I'd be worried, but Shane Black.

[SerArthurDayne]

I am worried, because Marvel.

I think they need an overarching villain like the Mandarin, especially as the end of the trilogy. I'm not sure Extremis is epic enough. I think it would be bitching as the start of a new trilogy (if we were forced to get that many) or as a 4th, stand alone film.

I am just curious how they are going to incorporate everything. Mandarin is the evil hand behind everything to date, or just a new villain? I assume he will have to be behind Extremis as well, because two completely separate plotlines just would not work.

edit: Apparently there was a subsequent Mandarin-Extremis plotline. I guess they could incorporate that with the initial Extremis arc. Hrmmm.

I can see how they can combine both but i just hope they don't make it a clusterfuck of different villains and try to shoehorn in a coherent plot (spiderman 3).

[purple cobra]

Marvel then began lining up meetings with actresses like Diane Kruger, Gemma Arterton and Isla Fisher.

Mmmm.

Not familiar with the actress cast in IM3, but many here believe it's a great choice so I'll go with the flow. Marvel's really striking while the iron's hot...

[Blader5489]

Oh, that's nice. Is ScarJo returning?

Nope

Though the cast of the next addition to the Tony Stark saga is filling up rather quickly with a bevy of notable and formidably talented actors, Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow will not be joining the adventures on this one. The actress told us she would not be appearing in Iron Man 3 at the start of our interview with her and The Hulk himself, Mark Ruffalo, at The Avengers Los Angeles press event last week. Johansson did, however, pitch the idea of a Jason Bourne-esque super hero movie featuring the Black Widow character.

[DMczaf]

Nope

She's gearing up for her own feature film!

It debuts on ABC Family this fall.

[PhoncipleBone]

She's gearing up for her own feature film! It debuts on ABC Family this fall.

Cinderella Story 3, starring Black Widow!

DAY ONE!

[Radec]

Will this be after the story of Avengers ?

[The Outsider]

Will this be after the story of Avengers ?

I believe so.

[Escape Goat]

She's gearing up for her own feature film! It debuts on ABC Family this fall.

You guys are mean.

[Eggman]

Nope

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Hot Coldman]

Cinderella Story 3, starring Black Widow! DAY ONE!

There was a Cinderella Story 2?!

Also, good, because I fail to see how Black Widow or S.H.I.E.L.D. would fit into an Extremis/Mandarin story.

[Zen]

http://www.deadline.com/2012/04/jess...on-man-3-talks Some follow-up articles have indicated that the role is that of Dr. Maya Hansen, a character responsible for the "Extremis" nanotechnology that is said to be a key part of the sequel's focus. Looks like Shane Black is putting together a nice little cast for Iron Man 3!

Oh man, they going with the extremis plot line for Iron Man 3? Sounds like a wild ride.

[James Woods]

Oh, that redneck girl from The Help. She was all right in that. Nobody watched The Tree of Life, guys. The movie grossed a whopping $13 million domestic.

Yeah but motherfuckers steal the rental copies. I'm serious. All the Blockbusters around me...there's like one fucking copy left and it isn't the Blu Ray. People swiped all of them :(

[Scullibundo]

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Thank fuck Black Widow will not be in IM3. Have even higher hopes for the movie now.

[ChiTownBuffalo]

I like the Extremis storyline, so I'm looking forward to it.

[Eggman]

Thank fuck Black Widow will not be in IM3. Have even higher hopes for the movie now.

Like I give a shit about the Iron Man "plot" after 2. Scarlett was the highlight of that trash.

[Discotheque]

Like I give a shit about the Iron Man "plot" after 2. Scarlett was the highlight of that trash.

Sam Rockwell was actually.

Scarlett and Sam Jackson's being shoehorned into that film is what hurt it.

[Hot Coldman]

Pfft. Give me Duff or give me death. (No joke, I definitely remember enjoying that first film. Don't ask.)

[Tobor]

Scarlett and Sam Jackson's being shoehorned into that film is what hurt it.

Sam Rockwell, Don Cheadle, and Mickey Rourke are what hurt it. Scarlett and Sam saved it.

[Eggman]

Rourke is trash.

[Scullibundo]

Sam Rockwell, Don Cheadle, and Mickey Rourke are what hurt it. Scarlett and Sam saved it.

You are well mad.

[Discotheque]

Yeah I really don't understand how Sam Jackson could be considered the best part of Iron Man 2. Unless you count a few winks to the audience (YO WATCH OUT FOR AVENGERS!) as scene-stealing.

Sam Rockwell owned the screen in that movie.

[The Outsider]

You are well mad.

I think I'm going to take the middle ground here. Everything hurt it, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that any of the above things made any sort of detrimental impact.

[Solo]

Sam Rockwell.......... hurt it. Scarlett and Sam saved it.

lolololololololololololololololol

















................................









lolololololololololololololol

Rockwell was the ONLY endearing element of that POS.

[Tobor]

You are well mad.

Just dropping those truth bombs on ya, brah.

[The Outsider]

Rockwell was hilarious, but felt somewhat out of place at times for me.

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Scarlett and Sam Jackson's being shoehorned into that film is what hurt it.

The crappy sickness plot was the bigger problem. They didn't want to do the alcohol stuff so it the stuff in his chest sickening hm. His degrading health and sanity could have been done so much better. Instead we get a horrible CGI Monaco race and a party scene worse than Bruce's in Batman Begins.

[Eggman]

Yeah, only 15 minutes of the actual film was about Iron Man.
