Marvel revealed during their panel at the San Diego Comic Con more details for Iron Man 3, showing a suit that would fly and attach itself piece by piece to Tony Stark. They also showed off footage of Sir Ben Kingsley as the villain Mandarin and Gwyneth Paltrow’s Pepper Potts, Don Cheadle’s James Rhodes and Jon Favreau’s Happy Hogan.
Favreau, who directed the first two Iron Man films, plays a role in the movie; he executive produced the third installment and did not direct. “I feel like a proud grandfather who doesn’t have to change the diapers but gets to play with the baby,” Favreau said, appearing on the Marvel panel with Iron Man 3 director Shane Black.
Iron Man 3 will look into the roots of the Iron Man mythology and is said to be something of a culmination to the trilogy, putting more movies in the series in question. When asked about doing more Iron Man movies, Robert Downey Jr. said, “The future is uncertain. I’m super happy and this has been just an amazing journey.”
Marvel Studios CEO Kevin Feige gave titles to the Thor and Captain America sequels as Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier and confirmed that Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man are in development. The director of Ant-Man Edgar Wright made an appearance at the panel and showed his test shots for the big-screen adaptation.
“I can reveal that Ant-Man has been here the whole day. In fact, he was here to spy on the Pacific Rim panel,” Wright joked, referring to Guillermo del Toro’s giant-robot-versus-massive-monsters movie also at Comic Con.
