Walt Disney Pictures and Marvel Studios have officially begun filming for their next heroic film adventure starring ol' shellhead with Iron Man 3, which is directed by Shane Black and once again sees Robert Downey Jr. return to the fold as Tony Stark/ Iron Man. Casting appears to be big for this new sequel too, as actors like Ben Kingsley, Andy Lau, and Guy Pearce have signed up and taken up roles that are either confirmed or still under speculation at this point. Whatever the case maybe, what is confirmed now is the appearance of a "surprise villain" that is sure to get fans of the armored avenger on a spin. SPOILERS contained in this post, so tread at your own risk!

Iron Man 3: Ben Kingsley is your villain and more on the plot itself.

Big news comes for Iron Man 3, and It appears that the film seeing the return of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/ Iron Man's finally getting a villain to its name. No details on what that role will be for Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Pictures' next superhero flick after The Avengers... but playing it is none other than Sir Ben Kingsley! Also, new potential plot details have emerged that may make followers of the comics to get excited. Consider this a SPOILER WARNING to all if you don't want to get too much info on where the plot will center over, but it's pretty much a given based on previous reports from the movie. You have been warned, and check away if you're eager to see what's in store for ol' shellhead's next flick!

Spoiler Alert for Iron Man 3: A fellow Avenger will cameo in the film!

Considering that the build up to Walt Disney Studios and Marvel Studios "The Avengers" is in full swing, fans of Earth's Mightiest Heroes are pumped up and can't wait to see the superhero blockbuster film in theaters this May! However, that doesn't mean that the studios can relax and rest easy, as they're busy already on the planning stages for what they call "Phase 2" of their superhero film initiative, which begins with Iron Man 3 next year! Of course, Robert Downey Jr. is onboard and signed up to play Tony Stark once more for the new sequel, which will be directed by Shane Black. Thing is, he won't be the only hero appearing in the movie, and I'm not talking about his friend James "Rhodey" Rhodes/ War Machine either! A fellow Avenger will be appearing alongside ol' shellhead in the movie to help him out, but who it is is the question.

SPOILER ALERT, so look at your own risk!

Jon Favreau and RDJ Talk Avengers and Iron Man 3!

This past weekend at the Hero Complex Film Festival, Iron Man star and Tony Stark actor Robert Downey Jr. made a surprise appearance at the show, joining his former director and the festival's esteemed guest Jon Favreau for a Q & A session that the duo answered for the people in attendance. They talked mostly about Iron Man I and II's creative process, and later on delved into Marvel's upcoming 2012 blockbuster superhero team up film Avengers, as well as giving some of their own thoughts about Iron Man 3 and its new director Shane Black as well, whom RDJ has worked with before in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Via Superherohype, here are videos captured by a person in attendance and uploaded in You Tube for peeps online to see!

Iron Man 3 Update: Shane Black describes film as a "Tom Clancy" styled thriller

Since Jon Favreau's departure from the director's chair of the Iron Man film franchise, director Shane Black was chosen by Marvel to step in and take over the job for the next sequel Iron Man 3, with more expectations rising from fans as to how the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang director would deliver the next film starring the Armored Avenger. At the recent Omaha Film Festival, Black confirmed that not only will he be helming the film, but he'll also be penning the script as well, and given his extensive writing resume and contributions to Hollywood hits like the Lethal Weapon franchise, we may be expecting big things for Ol' Shellhead's next adventure in the big screen.

Via a post from Ain't It Cool News, Shane Black will begin work on the screenplay of Iron Man 3 by meeting with the star of the show and Tony Stark himself, Robert Downey Jr. Having previously worked and directing the actor in his first and only directorial feature to date, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, it's a sure bet Black and Downey have chemistry, but how it will turn out when it comes to all things Iron Man remains to be seen. The director also states that because of the disappointment the studio had with the direction of Iron Man 2, things are going to be a little different this time around for Iron Man 3. Black describes the film as "Iron Man fighting real world villains in a Tom Clancy-styled thriller". If that's the case, then the third film returns in some way to the humble origins of the first film, where Tony Stark was forced to build a suit of armor to flee captivity from real life terrorists.

In a way, it makes perfect sense to ground Iron Man and have him fight real life villains. Iron Man 2 strayed too much from the sincerity and realism I felt from the first film, especially since the sequel was built as a springboard to slowly introduce The Avengers into Hollywood (which resulted on Jon Favreau leaving in the first place over creative differences with the studio). Having too many heroes will just confuse the direction of the movie altogether, and it's a relief to hear that Shane Black says there will be no other heroes appearing in Iron Man 3 other than Tony Stark, his alter ego, and his supporting cast. There will be references still, but since Iron Man 3 comes out a year after The Avengers hits theaters, things will shift back into single hero stories, and that's truly a good thing to expect. It's too soon to tell how this all plays out, but here's hoping Black, Downey, and the rest of the Iron Man film crew have something good to offer for the third film!

Marvel Movie Updates: New Iron Man Director and another Thor Trailer!

Lots of Marvel movies news have hit the interwebz this day, and it's time to get on with announcements!

Deadline and Screen Rant have just reported that Shane Black, once rumored to be one of the top candidates to fill in the vacant director's chair for Iron Man 3, has officially been named as the new director for the next sequel featuring the armored avenger. Black, whose credentials include directing Robert Downey Jr. before in the movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, has also served as writer for the Lethal Weapon film series, so he may just be the man for the job after Jon Favreau announced that he wouldn't be returning to direct Iron Man 3. No word yet whether or not he'll also serve as writer, but if you're still in the fence as to whether or not Black can deliver, the director/ writer has also been approached to direct treatments of Doc Savage and an americanized version of Death Note. Now if that's not confidence placed in the right hands, I don't know what it. For more info, visit the source posts over at Deadline and Screen Rant!

Next up, Yahoo! Movies has debuted a new trailer for Marvel Studios' first new superhero flick due this May, Thor! It features new footage of the God of Thunder (Played by Chris Hemsworth) and everyone else around his circle, most especially Odin (played by Anthony Hopkins) who manages to show his fighting side in the trailer! For more on the scoop, visit the source post at Screen Rant, and you can check it out here via Yahoo! Movies!

Thor opens in theaters May 6 this year, while Iron Man 3 is set to launch on May 3, 2013!

Iron Man 3 Update: Shane Black being considered as new Director/ Writer!

Looks like Robert Downey Jr. may be getting a familiar face to work with even with Jon Favreau's departure as director of the Iron Man franchise, as Marvel is now in talks with director Shane Black to helm the next installment of the armored avenger's adventures in film!

The Hollywood Reporter and several other movies sites like Screen Rant report that Black, who directed RDJ in his post-rehad comeback film Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, is in negotiations to direct Iron Man 3, and he may also be attached to the project in a writing capacity as well. If this ends up being true, then not only is it reuniting Downey Jr. with Black, but it may also add a new layer of action that's much needed in the franchise. Shane worked on all four Lethal Weapon films, and it's action comedy punch may be what ol' shellhead's next film needs after the lukewarm reception everyone got from Iron Man 2 (not that it was a bad film, but it lost the charm the first film possessed and had too much emphasis on leading on to The Avengers rather than being a stand alone film). Since things haven't been confirmed yet, let's hope Shane Black wins the director's chair for Iron Man 3. For more info, visit the source posts at THR and Screen Rant.

Iron Man 3 comes bursting out to theaters on May 3, 2012.
