"No, I don't think I've lost my heart to action [laughs] I don't think it's my natural calling as an actor but it's fun to do now and then. [Iron Man 3] is as exciting as you can imagine it to be, very, very exciting. They're more than film, they're events, these things. The film already has such a following and such an established tradition - to come in on the third one is really exciting because you understand the characters, you understand the setup and you feel excited to be apart of it. Robert [Downey Jr.] is smart, quick-witted, and keeps you on your toes in an inspiring way."
Based on Warren Ellis' Extremis storyline and following the box-office shattering events of Marvel's The Avengers, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) has become the target of global terrorist The Mandarin (Sir Ben Kingsley) who has secretly been the mastermind behind most of the tragedies in Tony's life. Isolated from his fellow Avengers, Tony will have to devise his most advanced armor yet if he hopes to save the woman he loves, Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow). Standing beside Tony as he takes on Mandarin's villainous allies and Ten Rings subordinates will be War Machine James Rhodey (Don Cheadle) who was conspicuously absent during the Chituari invasion in New York. Based on a screenplay by Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) and Drew Pearce (Godzilla, Sherlock Holmes 3).
