Iron Man 3 Trailer

Some times casting is done poorly. Christopher Walken as Han Solo would have been a joke. Eric Stoltz was so bad as Marty McFly that they had to reshoot half the film. It couldn't have been the same product with someone else.

Some times casting is done perfectly. As in the case of Iron Man. Tony Stark can come off like a bad mix between Max Headroom and Donald Trump. But when portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. - it's perfect. He's likable. He's brilliant. He's horribly horribly flawed. Iron Man is a modern day Jekyll and Hyde. There is no man and no monster. Just a horrible complex and realistic version of a brilliant mind and brilliantly flawed ego.

The first official trailer for Iron Man 3 is out. I am glad to see that they will again focus on not only the battles of the man in a suit - they will show the battle inside the mind of a man.

  

Yes. There is a lot to the trailer. The suit moving on it's own. Seemingly both The Mandarin and The Iron Patriot. Guy Pearce is in it, which thrills me to no end. How his career never took off has always confused me. 

Nonetheless, the most compelling part of this version of Iron Man, central to it's success, is the portrayal of Tony Stark. As an actor, fanboy and man, I can't wait to watch.
