Iron Man 3 has to really explore Iron Man alone; it should acknowledge the event of the Avengers and other Marvel films if possible, but mainly the Avengers.
It was announced that Shane Black would be writing and directing, now this is a new step and not just including his history of ‘R’ rated films, but he is great at making an action duo film, good at story and action also so I have much faith in Shane Black. Ware Machine should have more screen time then he did in Iron Man 2 since he and Tony both have armored suits they should work together exactly like they did in the comics, so in short I want to see more of this:
It was announced that Iron Man would battle real world terrorists, now that is okay but I would like to see some villains from the comics in the film, my top three villain choices for Iron Man 3 are The Mandarin, Titanium Man and Ezekiel Stane. Of course I want Justin Hammer to return and be in cahoots with the villain(s) of Iron Man 3 not just because it was set up that Justin Hammer would return when he said “I’ll be seeing you again, real soon!” but also because Justin and Tony’s long feud should not be ended just like that, Justin is a key player in the hired criminals sent in to kill Tony Stark.
I love how in Iron Man 1 we got the Mark I, II, and III. Then in Iron Man 2 he evolved the armor, we got the Mark IV, Mark V and Mark VI, so it seems like they introduce three new Iron Man suits every movie so out of them all the three suits I would love to see in Iron Man 3 are:
Bleeding Edge Armor
Hulkbuster Mark I
Stealth Armor Mark III
I would also like if new allies were introduced, but not heavily in the film but hinted at for future films, like Bethany Cabe would be fine in the whole film, but hints at Wonder Man, Sentry and Ms. Marvel would be great.
Happy Hogan should really evolve in this movie like in Iron Man 1 he was just there and in Iron Man 2 he got more screen time and it kind of seemed like they were hinting at a Happy and Pepper relationship in the making so I would like to see The Freak in Iron Man 3 and Happy’s passing, maybe trying to save Tony.
The Helicarrier and the S.H.I.E.L.D. Prisons should appear in Iron Man 3 also, I’m pretty sure the S.H.I.E.L.D. Prisons would appear in The Avengers 2, but aside from the Avengers cartoon the prisons haven’t been on TV or in movies and it would really open the gate for various villains.
Of course I would want all of the recurring characters to appear in Iron Man 3, Robert Downey Jr., Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jon Favreau and Sam Rockwell definitely should return in this film.
Iron Man 3 will be released on May 3rd 2013
