The new trailer for Iron Man 3 has gone online.  The previous trailer presented a much darker tone for the franchise, and that's still what we're getting.  That's fine.  Again, writer-director Shane Black has my full trust even if we're not seeing his trademark snappy dialogue (although I love Ben Kingsley's delivery of the line, "You'll never see me coming.").  What this new trailer does show is action that looks absolutely insane.  I would love to see this trailer on the big screen, but I'll probably have to wait until I see the finished film to check out these blockbuster set pieces.  I can live with that.

Hit the jump to check out the new trailer. The film also stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, and Rebecca HallIron Man 3 opens May 3rd.

Here’s the official synopsis for Iron Man 3:

Marvel’s “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. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?
