Rumor: IRON MAN 3 Plot Details May Have Been Revealed

iron-man-3-image

Though all eyes are understandably on this May’s release of The Avengers, Marvel still has a full slate of movies set to follow Joss Whedon’s ultimate superhero pic. After last year’s one-two punch of Thor and Captain America, the only Marvel film slated for this year is The Avengers. The studio’s next film out of the gate will be Iron Man 3 with Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang director Shane Black at the helm. The movie has yet to even start production, but we may have an idea of what to expect for our third go-around with Robert Downey Jr.’s wise-crackin’ Tony Stark. The plot details in question involve the over-arching plot device for the film as well as where our villain may come from, so if you want to stay clear of possible spoilers for Iron Man 3 (good luck), maybe don’t click on. For those of you up for hearing this latest rumor, hit the jump.

Apparently the entirety of Iron Man 3 may or may not involve nanobots. Latino Review is reporting the scoop that the film will revolve around nanobot technology “that can make villains” and “that can also make Tony Stark more than a man in the suit.” Apparently the idea for using nanobots is given to Stark by Captain America in The Avengers, given that Whedon’s film will serve as the tee-up for Iron Man 3. There’s no confirmation one way or another, but LR has been pretty solid with scoops in the past.

The good news is that we’ll have a better idea of what to expect from Iron Man 3 once The Avengers hits theaters. Besides any hints buried in the dialogue of the film, we’ve also got a presumably Iron Man 3-centric post-credits Easter egg scene to look forward to. For now, I’ll leave it up to those more versed than I in Iron Man lore to piece together what this nanobot technology could mean with regards to the comics. Iron Man 3 is set to start production in May and will film through the summer, and Downey Jr. himself recently said that the film has the potential to be the best of the three. Beyond Iron Man, we’ve also got a post-Avengers slate that includes Thor 2, Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy and The Inhumans.

For the love of god just do the 10 Rings already as a villian. IM2 already blueballed by not including them (which was even hinted at in IM1) end titles. It would be perfect too, the terrorist/ weapons corruption angle worked so well in the first one. Please!

They could be talking about SPIN tech here. These nanobots have the ability to stop other superheroes from using their powers even the Hulk. The reference to Tony being more than a man in the suit could be a nod to the Extremis – which in itself is a super soldier solution. So Tony becomes direct interface between man and machine through his armor making him a cyborg of sorts. The Mandarin villain can be introduced in this storyline too.

Exciting!

The “10 Rings” or Mandarin as most of us assume needs to be resolved in Avengers 2. Yeah Mandarin is an IM foe but he is a heavyweight that would require the Avengers

As for IM 3 it sounds like they’re going to tackle the Extremis virus to which I say “fuck yeah”.

“‘Iron Man 3 might be very good’ says Iron Man 3 star”
Well, duh

  I’m sure he said Iron Man 2 was going to be better then the first. Then the producers got in Favreau’s face and he pussed out. So much like Raimi and Spiderman 3, Iron Man 2′s suckiness was based on producer interference. Let’s hope Iron Man 3 doesn’t suffer the same fate.
  P.S. Leave Scarlett Johansson out of this one. I know her super power is twist flips but I can only take so many and Iron Man 2 filled that quota.

Marvel movies are only good when they take Lee, Kirby and Ditko in a love embrace, ‘fire all of the guns at once and, explode into space.’

Seems like a spin on the Extremis virus is what it sounds like to me. I’ve only seen the motion comic on Netflix and its one of the best ones I’ve seen. Surprisingly violent too. Check it out if u have Netflix. It’s called Ironman: Extremis.

It’s ready on Netflix. It’s called Ironman: Extremis. It’s pretty cool too.

God, I hate nanotechnology as a plot device. It’s a cure-all for every problem. And it’s just not relatable by the audience. We can at least understand a mortal man in a robotic, knight suit. Making his cells basically do anything they want removes Tony’s humanity and makes him no longer relatable.

Look how well nanobots worked for GI Joe: Rise of Cobra. They didn’t. They were used to explain every bad guy and the main plot device. They’re too intangible to affect the audience.

The avengers the only marvel movie this year… werid I thought spider-man was marvel

  Nope – spidey is fox’s bitch and is going in for Another round so their contract doesn’t die out with marvel, they sold the rights way back when marvel didn’t have enough balls to take care of their own property.

IRON MAN 3 should have Madame Masque and Ghost as villains… But Mandarin should definitely be in AVENGERS 2.

Mandarin should be the villain in Iron Man 3.
I would prefer the Kree-Skrull war for Avengers 2 and lead to Infinity Guantlet for Avengers 3.
