Iron Man 3 has dropped a lot of promotional material over the past few months. Today a new character poster and the latest Empire magazine covers are making the rounds.
The latest character poster features co-star Gwyneth Paltrow holding the destroyed helmet from Tony Stark’s armor. The one-sheet is yet another sign that Iron Man is going to have his work cut out for him director Shane Black’s highly-anticipated sequel.
The poster, which arrived courtesy of the film’s official Facebook page , has been embedded below.
Also released for public consumption is the latest Empire magazine cover featuring Iron Man 3 star Robert Downey Jr. Like Paltrow’s one-sheet, the cover showcases a helmet that has certainly seen better days. Those who pick up the latest issue will be treated to a number of exclusive images from the movie.
The Inquisitr previously covered a new character poster and a teaser image featuring the villain known as The Mandarin. Acclaimed actor Ben Kingsley will tackle the role of the terrorist in the film.
During an interview with Entertainment Weekly , Robert Downey Jr. said Kingsley may end up stealing the movie when it hits theaters later this year.
The actor explained:
“There are a lot of contenders who may, but right now he’s probably at the top of that list. He came in as, obviously — speaking of training — as such a technically proficient instrument. And then what proceeded to happen was the release of more vintage, old-school Favreau [improv] stuff with a Shane Black twist on it. It was kind of frightening to witness, I’ll tell you that much.”
