Iron Man 3 Super Bowl Trailer Is Airbourne

Iron Man 3 5 Marvel's Phase Two kicks off in style with the third Iron Man film, returning Robert Downey Jnr to his most famous role, donning the famous red and gold armour to battle a new and more threatening villain than he has faced to date. The first trailers offered a lot of material, introducing Sir Ben Kingsley's Mandarin, as well as suggesting there's a major event upcoming for Tony Stark involving a major attack on his home and his self. But we were left with as many questions as the first trailer answered (which is exactly as it should be): would we be seeing the traditional humorous undertones of Downey Jnr's character? How do the other villains fit in? And will we be seeing a tie-in to the Guardians of the Galaxy? The Super Bowl trailer for Iron Man 3 could have answered some of those questions - though the Guardians of the Galaxy issue was never particularly likely - so would this prestigious trailer slot offer us with everthing we wanted to know ahead of the film's release later this year? But first, we got a 30 second TV spot, featuring a sky-high rescue by Iron Man, with little other detail. Still, it makes for an impressive set piece. Here's the full TV spot... http://youtu.be/XGc4r2dVfiw And then, thankfully just as the lights went out in the stadium, the Iron Man 3 Extended Super Bowl trailer landed, starting with a humorous "extended look" gag. http://youtu.be/JRL5wac6G_s Everything looks incredibly good so far.
