Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige and special guests will provide an inside look at the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series, first published in 1963, Iron Man 3 returns Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man, Marvel’s The Avengers) as the iconic Super Hero character Tony Stark/Iron Man along with Gwyneth Paltrow (Iron Man, Iron Man 2) as Pepper Potts, Don Cheadle (Iron Man 2) as James “Rhodey” Rhodes and Jon Favreau (Iron Man, Iron Man 2) as Happy Hogan. Iron Man 3 continues the epic, big-screen adventures of the world’s favorite billionaire inventor/Super Hero, Tony Stark aka “Iron Man.”

Got it for you….. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110313183410AAKVGg9

Comment From WhileWeWait
While we’re waiting, can you just give us one more cool tidbit from Comic Con (instead of all this marriage talk)?
6:05
ComingSoon.net: There’s a lot of dressed up people?
6:05
Comment From IamIronMan
Can we have a Q & A with you guys in this format? Similar to an AMA on reddit. Think it would be pretty cool
6:06
ComingSoon.net: Maybe, someday. Today it’s not about us 😉
6:08
Comment From Aaron
Is this panel purely on Iron Man 3, or are they covering other Marvel properties as well?
6:08
EDouglasCS: Yeah, we should do an “Ask ComingSoon/SuperHeroHype” evening… I’d be up for that.
6:08
EDouglasCS: And yes, ladies, I am single! I know you’ve been wondering.
6:08
ComingSoon.net: It’s Marvel, they always have surprises.
6:08
EDouglasCS: I know the surprises…. 🙂
6:09
Comment From Guti
Why is Hollywood never on time? 6PM should mean 6PM
6:09
ComingSoon.net: This isn’t in Hollywood 🙂
6:09
EDouglasCS: Guti, it’s because they have to get people in and out, both the talent and the audience and it’s really tough when you have that big a place. The talent basically has to be walked over from across the street
6:11
Comment From Cam Cheline
@EDouglasCS what do you think of the IM3 Extremis suit? I’m hoping it looks better in person then it does in the pics. That gold is so fugly.
6:11
EDouglasCS: Yeah, lots of people complaining about the gold.. Shane mentioned that in the press conference earlier. I haven’t really seen it up close. I guess it’s one of the suits in the Marvel booth?
6:12
Comment From Kevin
Will you guys be covering the Kevin Smith Q&A?
6:12
Silas Lesnick: We’re live!
6:12
EDouglasCS: Sorry, Kevin, we don’t normally cover those.
6:12
EDouglasCS: Woooooo!
6:12
Silas Lesnick: A montage looked back on all the years of Comic-Con presentations
6:12
Silas Lesnick: Way back to Kevin Feige saying in 2006 that he’d love to see an AVENGERS film happen
6:12
Silas Lesnick: It ends with a big thank you to the crowd for helping to assemble the Marvel universe on the screen
6:12
Silas Lesnick: the final title reads…
6:13
Silas Lesnick: PHASE TWO BEGINS…
6:13
Silas Lesnick: NOW!
6:13
Silas Lesnick: Feige is now giving an update
6:13
Silas Lesnick: IRON MAN 3 is halfway through production
6:13
Silas Lesnick: THOR 2 is filming in London now
6:13
Silas Lesnick: THOR 2: THE DARK WORLD
6:14
Silas Lesnick: Sorry, THOR: THE DARK WORLD
6:14
Silas Lesnick: No 2
6:14
Silas Lesnick: CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER
6:14
Silas Lesnick: Very, very applause on that title!
6:15
Silas Lesnick: very MUCH applause, that is
6:15
Silas Lesnick: They’re showing concept art for GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY!
6:15
Silas Lesnick: Including a painting of Rocket Raccoon!
6:15
Silas Lesnick: They’re about to announce the team!
6:16
Silas Lesnick: Star-Lord, Draxx the Destroyer, Groot and Rocket Raccoon
6:17
Silas Lesnick: And Gamorra
6:17
Silas Lesnick: Edgar Wright has come on stage!
6:17
Silas Lesnick: “I’m taking the Terrence Malick approach to super heroes,” he says about his slow progress on ANT-MAN
6:18
Silas Lesnick: They’re teasing test footage, but say it’s unfinished
6:18
Silas Lesnick: They’re going to show it!
6:20
Silas Lesnick: Nice! The costume looks a lot like the IRREDEEMABLE ANT-MAN costume
6:20
Silas Lesnick: The face is completely covered, so we don’t know who the actor is
6:20
Silas Lesnick: It’s a black suit with red highlights
6:21
Silas Lesnick: The scene is a hallway with two guardians (maybe shield agents?) guarding a door at the end
6:21
Silas Lesnick: on the opposite end of the hallway is a vent and, at it, stands Ant-Man at only a few inches high
6:22
Silas Lesnick: He leaps down and we see him running down the massive hallway
6:22
Silas Lesnick: Suddenly there’s a flash and he’s full sized, charging the guards.
6:22
Silas Lesnick: He leaps and flashes again. He punches one at his tiny size and one of the guy’s teeth goes flying out of his mouth as he crashed into a panel.
6:23
Silas Lesnick: Ant-Man slides down the tie of the other man and returns to full size, flipping him over
6:23
Silas Lesnick: He gets in the door, apparently an elevator, at full size and, with another flash, is gone
6:23
Silas Lesnick: The title comes up, just plain ANT-MAN
6:23
Silas Lesnick: “He’s going to kick your ass one inch at a time,” says Edgar
6:23
Silas Lesnick: There’s no casting yet.
6:24
Silas Lesnick: Robert Downey Jr. has made a sudden appearance, marching straight down the center of the hall
6:24
EDouglasCS: Silas, did they say anything about release dates for either Guardians or Ant-Man?
6:28
Silas Lesnick: Another huge win on the footage front with IRON MAN 3!
6:28
Silas Lesnick: We begin in Stark’s lab. He’s talking to “dummy” and his suits of armor, telling them he’s about to introduce them to their badass baby brother
6:29
Silas Lesnick: He asks Dummy to play some seasonal music and he turns on a techno version of Jingle Bells
6:29
Silas Lesnick: Stark stands, posing and flexing. Suddenly a piece of armor shoots across the room
6:29
Silas Lesnick: One by one, his armor form, flying at him as he wills it to
6:30
Silas Lesnick: One hits his crotch, through, and he doubles over
6:30
Silas Lesnick: Another slams into his back and he falls, but jet-propels himself back up
6:30
Silas Lesnick: The last piece is the faceplate and, as it comes at him, he flips, propeling himself off the crowd with one hand upside down while the mask comes on
6:31
Silas Lesnick: We see another scene with Favreau as Happy talking to Stark through a video chat
6:31
Silas Lesnick: “You can’t talk to me like that,” he tells Stark good humoredly, “I don’t work for you anymore.”
6:31
Silas Lesnick: “That’s because you quit!” says Stark
6:31
Silas Lesnick: He says he can’t deal with Stark being off with the Superfriends these days
6:32
Silas Lesnick: We see a bunch of footage — Guy Pearce’s character — The Iron Patriot armor
6:32
Silas Lesnick: “Some people call me a terrorist,” says a voice (I don’t think it’s Kingsley)
6:32
Silas Lesnick: “I consider myself a teacher. Lesson number one: There is no such thing as heroes.”
6:33
Silas Lesnick: We see a bunch of helicopters firing on Stark’s house, blowing it off the edge of the cliff
6:33
Silas Lesnick: Inside, every suit of armor is destroyed
6:33
Silas Lesnick: Iron Man falls into the ocean as wreckage comes down on top of him
6:33
Silas Lesnick: Cut to…
6:33
Silas Lesnick: Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin
6:33
Silas Lesnick: It’s the costume from the comic almost exactly
6:34
Silas Lesnick: The footage ends and they’re even calling him the Mandarin now
6:34
Silas Lesnick: Downey is taking credit for Shawarma sales being up 700 percent
6:35
EDouglasCS: He deserves to take credit for that!
6:35
Silas Lesnick: He says that every movie he ever makes he thinks is going to be one of the three biggest movies ever and it finally happened
6:35
Silas Lesnick: Favreau, Downey, Shane Black, Kevin Feige,Don Cheadle are on stage
6:36
Silas Lesnick: Downey is wearing an Iron Man colored shirt and tie and an actual Iron Man glove
6:37
Silas Lesnick: He says KISS KISS BANG BANG was what Favreau used to prove to the studio that he was right for the role
6:37
Silas Lesnick: Downey says his wife hates living with him when he’s playing Tony Stark
6:38
Silas Lesnick: Black says that they’re halfway through and, if they don’t f– up the rest, it’s going to be great
6:39
Silas Lesnick: Stephanie Szostak is in the film, which I think is a new bit of casting
6:40
Silas Lesnick: They didn’t say who she’s playing, though
6:40
Silas Lesnick: Black says the film isn’t going to wind up like SPIDER-MAN 3
6:41
Silas Lesnick: Favreau says he feels like a proud grandfather who doesn’t have to change the diapers but who gets to play with the baby
6:42
Silas Lesnick: Cheadle says his suit takes a half hour to put on. Downey says his takes a minute.
6:42
Silas Lesnick: “Racism!” says Cheadle
6:42
Silas Lesnick: “But his gets bigger guns,” says Downey
6:43
Silas Lesnick: Downey says his contract is up after IRON MAN 3 and then he has to decide what Brinks trunk he wants to continue
6:43
ComingSoon.net: Picture of the Guardians of the Galaxy from the panel;
6:44
Silas Lesnick: I don’t think that’s the Guardians 🙂
6:44
ComingSoon.net: Let’s try that again, haha;
6:44
Silas Lesnick: A man in a full, impressive IRON MAN costume asked Downey if it was alright to borrow the suit
6:44
Silas Lesnick: Downey asked how long it took him to get into it
6:44
Silas Lesnick: “Five minutes,” he said.
6:45
Silas Lesnick: Cheadle, with mock rage, stood up and stormed off the stage
6:45
Silas Lesnick: (but came right back)
6:46
Silas Lesnick: Black says they’re going back to the roots of IRON MAN and trying to find the myth of it all
6:46
Silas Lesnick: Black says that Downey really is Tony Stark
6:47
Silas Lesnick: “So I’m an asshole,” asks Downey?
6:47
Silas Lesnick: “Yeah,” says Cheadle, “But a rich asshole.”
6:47
Silas Lesnick: Someone is asking about Stark’s alcoholism, but Black says that it doesn’t play a big role in this movie
6:48
Silas Lesnick: “He’s got the plug in the jug this time,” says Downey
6:50
Silas Lesnick: Drew Pearce is apparently in the audience, but they can’t find him
6:50
Silas Lesnick: “No!” shouts Downey, “Don’t show the guy who is doing all the work!”
6:52
Silas Lesnick: Everyone is about to sing Happy Birthday to a girl asking a question
6:53
Silas Lesnick: She also asked Downey if he could pick any color for his suit without offending Stan Lee, what would it be?
6:53
Silas Lesnick: “Does mauve offend anyone?” he says
6:54
Silas Lesnick: “Will we see Bruce Banner?” someone asks
6:54
Silas Lesnick: “If you remember THE AVENGERS,” says Feige, “Stark left with him in the car…”
6:54
Silas Lesnick: “but he dropped him at the Port Authority and we’ll see him another day.”
6:58
Silas Lesnick: They just showed the footage again.
6:58
Silas Lesnick: Mandarin is wearing at least four rings
6:59
Silas Lesnick: And he cocks a gun in the shot
7:00
Silas Lesnick: That’s the end of the panel! Thanks everyone!
