Marvel Studios’ Phase 2 begins with the movie that launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe to where it is now; Iron Man 3 opens in theaters May 3, and notable faces like Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Don Cheadle return to reprise their roles from the previous film. But instead of Jon Favearu directing, Shane Black takes the helm to direct what Kevin Feige calls “a political thriller.” So to see how that theme fits into the third installment of the Iron Man film franchise, you will just have to hit the jump.

From the moment we heard that Iron Man 3 would feature the Mark XLVII (47) armor, we knew that there would be a wide array of different armors possessing different capabilities. But those armors have stayed away from prying eyes and the only new armor was the Gold with red trim equipped with the Extremis technology seen in the trailers. Now new concept art has revealed the space armor and the Hulkbuster. One looks very cool, but the other not so much. Guess this is why they call it concept art.

Check out both armors here after the jump.

There is no confirmation that both of these armors will appear in the film, but the space armor toy appeared online a few weeks back, and with the release of this new image it seems to led us to believe that we will see the space armor in the film. The space armor makes sense especially since Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) has been traumatized after the events of The Avengers.

Disney and Marvel Studios premiered a 30-second TV spot for their next huge superhero epic Iron Man 3 during tonight’s Super Bowl. Now an extended version has made its way onto the Internet.

You can watch it here below.

After franchise star Robert Downey Jr. engages us in the greatest staring contest in the recorded history of mankind (he wins), we are treated to a solid minute of footage from the movie. It all comes in lighting quick glimpses, but eagle-eyed viewers will catch Ben Kingsley as the main heavy the Mandarin, Guy Pearce as Dr. Aldrich Killian, Don Cheadle suited up as a more patriotic War Machine, and a smashing finale where ol’ Shellhead has to make a mid-air rescue of thirteen people who have just been sucked out of an exploding aircraft when he can only carry four at a time. As Tony Stark would say, “Oh boy.”

A new poster and ultra-brief teaser for the upcoming Iron Man 3 have been released online.

The poster shows Tony Stark on what appears to be a not so good day, and the teaser spot is just a teeny tiny taste of the new preview that will be shown during this Sunday’s Super Bowl.

You can check them both out below, as well as an official rundown of the movie’s synopsis and cast and crew.

Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe begins on May 3, 2013 with the one franchise that started it all. Shane Black‘s Iron Man 3 will take place after the events of The Avengers and based on what we’ve seen from the first trailer, it looks like Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) will be scarred by what he has seen since The Avengers first assembled.

In an interview with MTV, Marvel Studios’ President Kevin Feige talked about what we would see in the film.

Feige first address the mental state of Tony Stark and how the events in New York would affect him in Iron Man 3.
