‘Iron Man 3’ TV Spot Sees Pepper Potts In Armor

A new TV spot for Iron Man 3 has been released, and shows Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) in the Iron Man armor.

Iron Man 3 stars Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Ben Kingsley, Guy Pierce, and Rebecca Hall in a story about a warlock who uses the Ten Rings of Power to wreak havoc on America. Only Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) can stop him, but first he has to recover from an attack that leaves him stranded, dragging his own armor through the sand.

Apparently, a love triangle of sorts will emerge between Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, and the armor. Pepper Potts is said to be a central character in the story this time.

The TV spot starts with Tony Stark lying on the ground in his Iron Man armor in the dark, as Robert Downey Jr. pipes in, “I can’t come home yet.” He takes the mask off, and then we see him apparently walking through snowfall as he continues, “But as long as I’m out here, the Mandarin will come looking for you.”

We see someone in colorful robes reach his hands out in a crowd armed with rifles. Then Pepper Potts is seen with her forehead to the Iron Man helmet in the dark in what looks like a disaster site.

The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) says “You’ll never see me coming.” before “May 3” flashes on the screen. We then see Tony Stark dragging his armor across sand before he tosses the suit on its back, intact, through a door. The Mandarin continues, “So run away. Hide. Because nothing can save you!” We see him flashing his rings, the suits of armor in the wall exploding, Pepper Potts seeming to have a problem in a metallic harness, and Rhodes (Don Cheadle) in what looks like the White House or something.

The rest of the TV spot is below.
