I don't know why they had to release a trailer so early, it's clearly a rush job.

I'm surprised they didn't opt for a shorter, more teaser-ish trailer with a bit less footage, but I'm not complaining.
Marvel Movies are now the biggest fucking machine in hollywood. Clearly rushed but they dont want to lose one bit of momentum.

Peter Weyland meets Tony Stark at a tech convention.

Kinda crazy they would show him twice in the trailer if it's a cameo, but I guess if that's the footage they had available, no reason not to?

What character?
Cause they knew I needed some footage directly into my veins before the year was out.
Aldrich Killian, the guy he plays

I still hope he gets as much screen time as Rockwell.
I wasn't implying they were copying it. Nonetheless, the voice sounds like a lame version of Bane's.
However, Iron Man 3 didn't go into production until 6 months after the TDKR prologue was released

hopefully they learned that those voices are shit in movies and don't use it for the final film.

Oh, okay, cool.

I'm always down for more Iron Man.
why wouldnt they?
do you have any idea how many suits they build? if they're gonna blow up a suit they'll just build the outer parts of one and blow it the hell up. Using CG because of them not wanting to blow up a prop is the most ridiculous thing I can think of. They blow up fucking tons of luxury cars in every movie ever.

hm, weird. guess we know why he wants Iron Man dead. clearly Team Cap in Civil War.
definitely looked practical. wait for the behind-the-scenes to show it.

That was a really poorly edited trailer. It didn't really create any sort of cohesive tone or introduce much of the narrative. It just felt like a few completed scenes put together, with a Mandarin voice over at the end. Pretty crappy trailer.
Ben Kingsley looks pretty awesome though, and the movie itself will probably be good.
Completely agree with your thoughts about the trailer.
Haven't really enjoyed any of the recent Marvel films, so I have low expectations with this one.
Im guessing the ability to get it just right would require way too many suits to be practical. But honestly, none of us actually know either way. So there is no definitive proof until a making of or something equivalent.
The first trailer for The Avengers featuring empty streets blowing up for no reason. People whined about it.
Shockingly, the final movie's streets were NOT empty, and the CG was spectacular. People cheered about it.
I seriously cannot believe the amount about complaints about the CG, all acting as though this is a sign of the end times and that ILM would have done better. It's been in post production for like 2 months, with 7 more to go. You won't get a new trailer til sometime in the spring, but that's a better time to judge how the special effects may look.

Spoilers for Director of SHIELD, Haunted and Extremis
Extremis is a virus which, when successful in its merge to the host, optimises the body and evolves the human. More energy, internal organs shifted, removed or created etc. In the books, it usually results in really strong dude impervious to bullets, damage, and almost always breathing fire (for some reason). The problem with Extremis is that it has a 97% or 99.7% success rate, meaning that barely anybody survives the process. Tony did, another guy did, a few other guys did. Mandarin tried to unleash the virus on the world through the air using nanomachines, as an airbourne virus. His goal was to push forward human evolution. Tony stopped it because it was going to wipe out 97/99.7% of the population. It was originally developed as a replacement for the Super Soldier (Captain America) serum.
Fuck I suck at spoiler tagging.
Captain America tattoo on the mandarin's neck?
the fuck
The director has a very realist approach in terms of CG use. It wouldn't be surprising at all.
Iron Man 2 wishes it were shit. It was an incomprehensible mess of shit I simply didn't care about.
Again, I am not saying I am right, I just think the first suit that blows up looks fake as hell. Whether it be a shitty prop or unfinished CG.
maybe practical combined with CG?

That seems incredibly... insane. How does that even work?
So... fucking nanomachines?
kinda but not really. I mean sure it makes sense, but it'd be kinda lame

That would imply that Mandarin
is already infected with this Extremis thing and is now a combination of machine and man?
I do think a lot of the effects in the trailer look unfinished or kinda bad, whether they're practical or CG. If they're using props and then planning on touching them up with CG details later, that might make sense too.

no, just that he's obssesed with the "survival of the fittest" idea of advancing human evolution through the equivalent of the super soldier serum
That makes a lot of sense, especially in regards to my complaints.

Maybe he's a Cap fanboy like Coulson.
Maybe he's Coulson! BELIEVE

Lol, pretty fucking much. It's comic books. In Haunted,
SHIELD put an ankle brace on Tony so he can't use Extremis, and Mandarin almost gets away with his nanomachine stunt. Tony ends up cutting part of his foot off to remove the bracelet so he can access his Extremis powers, which let him tap into every satellite network in the world, so basically any computer in the world. He then stops missiles from blowing up
That...a very good thought!

So wouldn't he use it on himself first? To shepherd the evolution or whatever.
We'll have to watch to find out, lol.
I have been Googling info but I might get trades when there is a sale at Midtown comics.
bluebird explanation is correct except for the fact that it's not like people dont know wether they'll succeed at taking the extremis or not. There's only a super small percentage (2 percent or so) of people who are genetically fit to take in the extremis and not die, and they can know this beforehand, Mandarin is not one of them.
Not necessarily. The only reason that Extremis has the affect that it did on Tony was because
he was wearing the suit when he underwent the process, turning his body into a computer basically, complete with circuits and wires!
Mandarin knows that his genetics would reject Extremis, so he doesn't undergo the process
