Sticking to the Original Blueprints Keeps Iron Man 3 Working

by Zoe Chevat | 11:00 am, May 6th, 2013

“The world is getting weird,” declares faithful former bodyguard Happy (Jon Favreau) early in the first act of Iron Man 3. He’s not wrong. Everybody’s favorite genius billionare playboy philanthropist is back for a fourth round, facing a changing world, and a changing self. After the invasion of New York, and the start of the Avengers, there’s plenty on the table for Mr. Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) to handle, from terrorists to his mercurial relationship to his own obsessions. Fortunately for us, though, IM3 doesn’t take too steep of a dive into Tony’s demons. It stays at a neat cruising altitude: charming, effusive, with requisite explosions aplenty. Much like the most used and battered of Tony Stark’s suits, Iron Man 3 has some loose pieces that rattle, but it holds together for a fun, familiar ride.

Material under the cut contains arc-reactor-powered SPOILERS. Read at your own discretion.

Iron Man 3′s Rebecca Hall Says To Expect A “Refreshing” Female Dynamic Between Pepper & Maya

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:35 pm, April 5th, 2013

“The thing I really like about this storyline is that everyone assumes, ‘Oh, this is going to be some sort of love triangle, and it’s going to be some massive cat fight between Pepper and Maya,’ and it was never that on the page. Instead, they did what the Iron Man franchise has nearly always done, which is sort of subvert expectations and stereotypes and actually made it about two very smart women who understand this rather eccentric figure, Tony Stark. There is a sort of bonding that happens between them because of that, and they are very funny about it. It’s not at all what you expect, which I think is much more true to life and was refreshing, frankly.” – Iron Man 3′s Rebecca Hall responding to a question from Marvel.com on how her character Maya’s past with Tony Stark affects her relationship with Pepper Potts.

Iron Man 3‘s Rebecca Hall Is Sort of Like a “Female Robert Downey Jr.” Go On…

by Rebecca Pahle | 12:10 pm, February 1st, 2013

“We needed a snappy and exciting actor to play the part, and not make it this ‘female scientist who takes off her glasses and suddenly she’s beautiful!’ There’s a certain element about her being the female Robert Downey Jr in a way.” —Director Shane Black on Rebecca Hall, who plays scientist Maya Hansen in Iron Man 3.
