In the following interview with Trailer Addict, he talks in detail about the design of the Mark 42, the choice to primarily use the colour gold in its design and its functionality and most iconic elements. The new suit plays a major role in the movie and despite some early worries when it was initially unveiled, the recent trailers and TV spots have been more than enough to show that it really does look fantastic.

Marvel Studios’ Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?
