IRON MAN 3 Set Work Begins; Working Title Revealed

[T'Challa]

Despite most of Marvel Studios' attention planted on promoting the release of The Avengers, production for their next film, Iron Man 3, is reportedly moving swiftly. Now, according to ComicBook.com, who've been keeping tabs on the Shane Black-directed production in Wilmington, North Carolina, reports that set work has begun. Additionally revealing the movie's title that'll be used while filming is underway, read on below.

Iron Man 3 is currently in pre-production under the code name “Caged Heat.” Comicbook.com has reporters on-site in Wilmington, North Carolina where Iron Man 3 is scheduled to film at EUE/Screen Gems Studios. We’re hearing reports that set construction has already begun. As far as filming, we’re still hearing the target for initial filming will be very early May (with a possibility of late April). Even though Iron Man 3 has been officially announced as filming in Wilmington, the code name “Caged Heat” is still being used by various sources in the local Wilmington film industry.

Robert Downey Jr. is set to return as the genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, 'Tony Stark,' while Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and Jon Favreau are reportedly locked in to reprise their roles respectively. There has also been heavy reports that Scarlett Johansson will reprise her 'Black Widow' role. And with filming possibly commencing in April, Iron Man 3 hits theaters on May 3, 2013!

Word! I never got why cats swore up and down that part 1 was great. It was ok, but not the type of film I needed to see multiple times. Part 2 was boring....

Why would they even die?

sarcasm bruh.

 

[irvthaperv]

Y'all smoking crack... Both of the first ones were epic!

 

[HAR125LEM]

I just want to know who the main villain is going to be.
And it's great to see Shane Black direct again.
Dude's definitely more action-oriented.

The Dark Knight came out the same summer as Iron Man....TDK was epic. Iron Man was like a predictable Saturday morning cartoon.

That's because it was an origin story. WTF were you expecting if you already knew the origin from the comics? If you just aren't an Iron Man fan then...

Batman Begins was a better film (origin story) than Iron Man. TDK was in a completely different atmosphere than IM2.

Mandarin

Honestly,
I really hope not.
But it would make sense.
He is considered Iron Man's greatest villain.
I just find the character pretty weak.

I'd prefer Fing Fang Foom or M.O.D.O.K./A.I.M.

like i said in the avengers trailer thread... i think they should throw in mandarin and just make this the last iron man solo film and just keep him in the avengers movies since he an integral part of the team. and judging by that trailer it look like they using a variation of fing fang foom and that serpent from Thor... and i think aliens and other worldly creatures bring out the best in iron man by lookin at the avengers trailer. his solo film villains were sorta using the same lame premise... BOTH stane and vanko basically get jealous/revenge and swagg jacked the arc reactor tech to make a variation of a suit/tech of their own.

wilmington has a local film industry....

 

[silentking]

Iron Man 1 was great. IM2 was cool...not great...but good in context that it was more of a build up to the Avengers. The Iron Man films are great to me because they kicked off something that DC can never do on film.....build a universe with overlapping story lines. I waited on this since I was a kid reading the comics and I'm not disappointed.

Also...TDK was possibly the greatest super hero movie ever made. Kudos to them. But the Iron Man series wasn't meant to be what the Dark Knight series is, and I'm fine with that. Diversity is good.

Iron man 1 > dark knight

alot people don't know that Wilmington has the biggest movie studio on the east coast. Alot of stuff has been made there including "The Color Purple" and "The Crow". Dawson's Creek was filmed out of there. It has to be cheaper to make it there vs. hollywood...

Not only are these completely different movies, they are completely different comic companies, AND y'all are on that Whitney crack

 

[Nemesis Prime]

The main villains have been the biggest problem with the Iron Man movies. There wasnt one in the first one and the Mickey Rourke was not good in the second one...

 

[irvthaperv]

Gotdamn! Nobody said SHIT about fucking batman! Quit trying to compare apples to oranges! The batman movies have had so many ups and downs. Some good and some fucking terrible. *The Iron Man movies so far have been pretty awesome. *We'll see what IM3 has to offer, but I'm very hopeful!


And if you wanna keep it really-real... Iron Man would beat the holy faggot crap outta batman! Lol!!!!!

Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne both:

1. Insanely rich playboys who are left fatherless
2. Used their riches to make themselves, (mortal men) into superheroes
3. Geniuses. One at science/engineering, the other as a detective/crime fighter

Iron Man and Batman aren't really that different when you look at their character archetypes. Yes they are different movies and comic companies, but the way both characters were approached by their respective filmmakers showed in the quality of the films we saw.

The Iron Man movies weren't taken as serious as the Batman films and it showed.

[MonkeyBizness]

Mandarin needs to be the next villain, but Marvel has been antsy because they don't want to make the character offensive to the Asian community.

And I'm clueless as to why anyone would compare Nolan's Batman to Iron Man. That shit is no comparison at all. It' like comparing The Wire (Batman) to Barney Miller (Iron Man). Two completely different things on several levels.

Maybe?

The Christopher Nolan Batman series is notably darker and based on a darker graphic novel. The Iron Man movies are better compared to the 90's Batman movie series...which were corny as fuck and can't stand next to the Iron Man films.

Why do they have to be compared to the 90s films? The Iron Man and Nolan's Batman films are all made within years of each other, using modern special effects. Why are you using the 90s Batman films to compare against Iron Man when the Nolan series is still current, just like Iron Man? You have to have a valid argument why the earlier Batman series should be used instead of Nolan's films.

Man you don't know what you talking about.


First off, there was only one 90's Batman movie and that was in 1993 with Batman Returns. The first was an 80's movie in 1989 with Batman - duh.

And these two movies were not corny! They were campy, surrealist dark - kinda like if Dali and Poe had a baby but told Mary Shelly to be the nanny...quality stuff.

Agreed. I don't see why people have the need to play that game. Either it's good/you like it or it's not/you don't. "Iron Man" and "The Dark Knight" came out the same year and both were great in different ways and set the new standards for comic book superhero movies.

The main villains have been the biggest problem with the Iron Man movies. There wasnt one in the first one and the Mickey Rourke was not good in the second one...

I thought Mickey was great as Whiplash, really a second tier IM villain that he made interesting.
The main villain in the first one was Obadiah Stane.

Mandarin needs to be the next villain, but Marvel has been antsy because they don't want to make the character offensive to the Asian community.

If they need to find a way to present the Mandarin, look to the way he was revamped in the 90s, particularly in the "Acts of Vengeance" crossover when he was fighting the X-Men.

The Dark Knight came out the same summer as Iron Man....TDK was epic. Iron Man was like a predictable Saturday morning cartoon.

TDK was too long, very boring, badly lit, had nonsensical and illegible action scenes, uninteresting pointless dialogue, an uncharacteristically love struck Bruce Wayne, a homely leading lady, and an anticlimactic ending.

it was VERY mundane, not EPIC in the least.

the first Iron Man story had me BELIEVING that tech suit was REAL. it was AMAZINGLY fun, fast, dramatic AND entertaining.
