We’ve now had a teaser design and character posters for Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce and Don Cheadle in the Shane Black-directed superhero sequel, IRON MAN 3, as well as a look at the main US one-sheet. Now we have another hi-res look at the latest poster featuring Pepper Potts clinging on to Tony Stark in both the US, UK and Japanese designs. We’ve also included an alternative, banner design of that stunning one-sheet that surfaced last week.
The official plot synopsis goes as follows, along with a few extra details:
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. 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?

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
