Iron Man 3 Extended Trailer: Five Questions Raised

Last year, Disney promoted The Avengers during the Super Bowl, and The Avengers went on to rule the box office, becoming the highest grossing movie of 2012. While several movie studios decided to pass on a 2013 Super Bowl advertising buy, Disney wisely realized that that the Super Bowl is a great place to promote superheroes. We were hoping that the Iron Man 3 Super Bowl spot would answer a lot of questions, but it actually raised more questions. Here are our top five questions.

Check out the trailer as well....




5. Does The Bunny Survive The Mansion Attack? – The breakout star of the Iron Man 3 movie trailers has been a giant stuffed bunny. Just like in the previous trailer, the bunny is shown in the Malibu mansion when the missiles hit. Even though Tony Stark and Pepper Potts are sent flying through the air, the giant bunny seems unfazed. Will the giant bunny sink to the bottom of the ocean when the mansion collapses? Or will the giant bunny prove to be a hero as a possible flotation device for Pepper Potts?

Pepper Potts pregnant
4. Is Pepper Potts Preggers? – Speaking of the giant stuffed bunny, why is it there to begin with? One theory is that it was a present for Tony Stark who we know will be spending some time in the hospital in Iron Man 3. But what if it was a present for Pepper Potts? Could Pepper Potts be pregnant? What if Pepper Potts loses the baby as a result of injuries during the attack on the mansion? Wouldn’t that be enough to send Tony Stark spiraling into a deep depression?

Iron Man 3 The Mandarin's Rings
3. Are The Mandarin’s Rings Just For Show? – The Iron Man 3 Super Bowl trailer gives an up close and detailed view of The Mandarin’s ten rings. However, we still haven’t seen The Mandarin actually use his rings in any way. The way one sequence is cut together almost makes it looks like The Mandarin’s rings are causing an explosion, but the scenes are in two separate locations, so it’s likely just some sneaky editing by Marvel Studios. If the rings actually have power like in the comics is something we really want to know.

Iron Man 3 Happy Hogan Dead
2. Is Happy Hogan Dead? – Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige let it slip out that Jon Favreau’s character Happy Hogan plays a major role in Iron Man 3, but his scenes were all shot very early in the production. The Iron Man 3 trailer shows what appears to be a very badly injured Happy Hogan. Could it be that Happy Hogan is killed off in Iron Man 3?


1. How Large A Role Does Guy Pearce Play? – Guy Pearce is playing Aldrich Killian, who in the comics was a scientist who helped in the development of Extremis. Aldrich also gave Extremis to a terrorist organization. There have been conflicting rumors as to whether Guy Pearce plays a minor or a major role in Iron Man 3. We’ve seen very little of him in the Iron Man 3 trailers, but when we do see him, he sure looks menacing.
Iron Man 3 is scheduled to be released in movie theaters on May 3, 2013.
