Marvel has just released the Iron Man 3 movie trailer. The film will arrive in theaters on May 3, 2013 and the movie will also hit select theaters in 3D.

For Tony Stark, the brain is just as powerful as the blaster. After saving the world alongside superhero pals Thor and Captain America in the box-office hit The Avengers, Robert Downey Jr.’s tech genius playboy in the Iron Man suit is back for his third solo big-screen adventure in Iron Man 3, directed by Shane Black. The movie begins “Phase 2? of Marvel Studios’ grand movie plan, continuing an epic story that will ultimately lead to The Avengers 2 in 2015. Iron Man 3 picks up some months after The Avengers, with Tony and love interest Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) back and running Stark Industries. However, Tony is targeted by the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) — Iron Man’s most iconic foe from the comics — and has a vast array of gadgets and weaponry wiped out. “He basically loses all of his toys and is forced to just use his mind to rebuild and to face his biggest enemy,” Feige says, resulting in the most advanced Iron Man suit yet.
