4 New Images from IRON MAN 3 Including First Look at Rebecca Hall

Marvel has released four new images from Iron Man 3, including a nice look at the Iron Patriot armor and our first glimpse at Rebecca Hall as fellow scientist Maya Hansen.  Hall is 30 and Hansen’s comic character bio suggests she is an adult scientist, but her sneakers-and-a-hoodie dress make her look much younger.  It is probably more important to note she was just knocked to the pavement and has a gash in her forehead.

Robert Downey Jr., Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Kinsgley, Guy Pearce, Ashley Hamilton, Jon Favreau and James Badge Dale also star the superhero sequel.  Iron Man 3 opens May 3, 2013.  See the new images after the jump.

Official synopsis:

Marvel Studios’ Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him.
