Iron Man 3 Armour Rumour
Reading time: 1 minute
It appears that the new Iron Man 3 armour seen at Comic-Con International may not be the Mark VIII as originally thought, but rather the Mark XLVII. Yes, that's right, below you're looking at the Mark 47! Looks like someone will be going through a lot of armour in Iron Man 3.
Rumours though are saying that the previous 40 suits will be unmanned drones all controlled by the Mark XLVII - an army of Iron Men.
Directed by Shane Black from a script he co-wrote with Drew Pearce, Iron Man 3 is loosely based on the 2005-2006 "Extremis" story arc by Warren Ellis and Adi Granov in which a criminal is injected with a nanotechnological drug created by the U.S. military in an attempt to replicate the Super-Soldier Serum, triggering a mutation that grants him superhuman abilities.
Opening May 3, 2013, the film stars returning cast members Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and Jon Favreau, joined by Guy Pearce, Ben Kingsley, Rebecca Hall, James Badge Dale and Ashley Hamilton.
