http://www.slashfilm.com/kevin-feige...-the-avengers/ “Why wouldn’t Tony Stark just call The Avengers if he’s having a problem in Iron Man 3?” It’s a questions fans have been asking for months in anticipation of the first film of Marvel Phase 2, out May 3rd. We all know Tony Stark is friendly with the likes of Captain America, The Hulk, Hawkeye, Thor and Black Widow so it would make sense for him to ask for help when battling The Mandarin. So why doesn’t he? At a recent roundtable we joined with director Shane Black and Marvel President Kevin Feige (from which we’ll have more soon), Feige explained why he doesn’t think that’s a problem, and confirmed it will be dealt with in the movie. He also discussed how the S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show fits into the cinematic Marvel Universe. Read his quotes below. Here’s Feige’s answer to the question of why Tony won’t call The Avengers: Journalist: After cell phones came out horror directors had to come up with elaborate ways to explain why people wouldn’t call someone on a cell phone for help, now that all The Avengers know each other do you have to come up with excuses for why Tony Stark wouldn’t reach out when he needs a hand? Feige: It’s a good question, and it’s sort of half and half. I am betting that like the comics you don’t have to keep – if you are reading a standalone “Iron Man” comic, they don’t spend every page explaining where every other Marvel hero is. The audience kind of accepts that there are times when they’re on their own and there are times when they are together. I’m betting that movie audiences will feel the same way. That being said, there is a little bit of lip service here and there to that. There is also just the very nature of Tony wants to, once he barely survives that house attack you saw today, and even you saw it in the message he left for Pepper, he’s basically saying “I’m going off the grid to try to figure something out.” So not only will Iron Man 3 directly deal with the lack of Avengers, it specifically puts Tony in an isolated state of mind where, even if he wanted help, he wouldn’t ask for it. As for the S.H.I.E.L.D. show, Feige was asked if Tony knew his good friend Phil Coulson was alive and well on TV: Feige: Does Tony know that? No. |
Oh, holy hell, I just watched the latest trailer. When all the suits come for "backup". I jizzed.

Shane Black Hints At IRON MAN 3 Love Rectangle?
Sir Ben Kingsley’s portrayal of The Mandarin has been lauded and evinced as the main antagonist of Iron Man 3, but Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark will also deal with Aldrich Killian, played by English-Australian actor Guy Pearce. Beyond the character’s role in the Extremis storyline, which Iron Man 3 is “loosely” based upon, not much is known about Killian’s interpretation in the film. Speaking with French magazine Première, Director Shane Black revealed, “We approached [Pearce] to play one of our villains, and he’s incredibly menacing as this guy who is insanely jealous of Tony Stark. He wants to possess everything Tony has, including his girl…” Aldrich Killian may not be the only one badgering Tony and Pepper’s relationship. Played by Rebecca Hall, Maya Hansen was associated with Killian in the Extremis arc. “Rebecca is a talented, funny and beautiful actress,” says Black. “We needed someone who could be believable in the role of a scientist, who’s a little in spite of herself, and has a lot of charm. She was perfect. Maya Hansen is an old friend of Tony Stark from the past that resurfaces. This is not strictly a rival for Pepper Potts, but she has a real bond with Tony that goes way back.” |
Is this a 3 hour movie? It would have to be to fit all of that in.

Wasn't impressed with the second trailer.
That said, I was similary unimpressed with "The Avengers" trailer. That turned out to be glory on a movie screen. Hope the same is true of IM3. |

I think casting Kingsley was a HUGE blunder. Not that it will cost them much money, but the Mandarin is Chinese, and they are obviously making a huge effort to cater to the Chinese audience.
It would have went a long way with the Chinese to have an actual Chinese person play him, I would imagine. It's not like Kingsley would be brilliant casting even if the mandarin was from Yorkshire. |
