Maybe this link could help to update this article, it was from the Marvel site: http://marvel.com/news/story/18821/first_official_iron_man_3_set_photo Happygoth09 ( talk) 15:11, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
Because someone there has added casting credits for Iron Man 3 that includes Sam Elliott as Thunderbolt Ross, Rocky Carroll as the Falcon, and Regina Spektor as Yelena Belova. I believe none of those is correct since they are all busy. Sam Elliott was replaced as General Ross by William Hurt, Rocky is probably doing prep for NCIS and Regina is more likely on tour. In addition, there is no link to even support that the cast has been increased. All of this makes me understand why imdb is a terrible site to use in the context of linking to here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guidorulz ( talk • contribs) 17:47, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
Whatever the plot is and whoever the villain is, after what happened in Armored Adventures they'd better give Pepper her own armor. 74.69.214.197 ( talk) 07:05, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
I know that it has not yet been verified but with Coulson no longer around, it is logical that Maria Hill takes his place as Tony Stark's S.H.I.E.L.D. watchdog. Also, it has been stated that Cobie Smulders is signed on for 9 films(like the rest of the group). Despite all of that, I do hope Marvel follows through with keeping an agent or two in IM3. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guidorulz ( talk • contribs) 04:05, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
Graviton continues to change the starring list without reason, but he has at least confessed his purpose by posting this on my talk page: "You stupid idiot STOP MAKING WOMEN SPOIL THE MOMENT BEFORE I HAVE TO COME FIND YOU!". His misogynistic attitude not withstanding, he has no basis for changing this list and is apparently doing it because women ruin the moment, whatever moment that is. It's been discussed in edit summaries, his talk page and now here, and by discussed I mean people have said it and he has ignored it until saying stuff like the above. This discussion is being added for others to give input and for a record of Graviton's activities for when this inevitably escalates to administrator intervention.

Is it better to link to the original Chinese source, rather than the article with an English report on the matter? I don't speak fluent enough Chinese to provide an accurate sentence-by-sentence translation, but I know enough to confirm that the article definitely confirms the actor and the role and says that the reports of Chinese actresses joining were false, and that filming in Beijing and Shanghai will happen in September. - Fandraltastic ( talk) 23:35, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Hey, I found this PDF a while ago; it's from the Miami Beach Gov't and includes filming dates for the location (which is currently tagged with a citation needed template in the article). The problem is the PDF doesn't open in the user's browser, it automatically downloads to the hard drive. So I'm not sure what citation template/format to use. Anyone know? - Fandraltastic ( talk) 20:18, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Official merchandising clearly refers to these armors as War Machine and Iron Patriot. Does this not count as being canon? The tie-in comics also refer to Rhode's armor as War Machine. Suzuku ( talk) 19:55, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Marvel has recently released a new tv spot (can be see here) and with in it it confirms that Pepper is going to be wearing the armor, at least an Iron Man one. Should this be noted in the article at all at this time (I was thinking in the marketing section possibly) or should it be held off for the moment? Technically it can be added as Wikipedia does not deal with spoilers, in case any one felt that was a reason not to include it. - Favre1fan93 ( talk) 18:05, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Just came from a press screening. Giving no spoilers, but here are two pertinent things — neither of which we can use until corroborated by a published source, but just so we keep an eye out: The onscreen title, given at the end, is Iron Man Three, with the numeral spelled out. And Stan Lee has a cameo playing "Pageant judge." (Also, there's a two-person post-credit scene; can't say more than that.) -- Tenebrae ( talk) 18:09, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
The coverage of the things spotted in set photos in the filming section does not appear to encyclopedic. A year from now, I do think readers will care what was seen in a set photo, the film itself will do that. What matters is analysis of the things seen in the film and is what we should strive to include. As such, I think the coverage of the set photos should be removed.-- TriiipleThreat ( talk) 19:43, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

It says here that Mandarin's role is a behind the scenes villain, but its source is claiming that whilst also claiming Guy Pearce is the main villain. With that article being from May and Guy Pearce admitting that his role is essentially an extended cameo, shouldn't we delete the behind the scenes aspect of Mandarin? I know we don't know that much, but given that the source was essentially wrong about Guy Pearce, they seem to be wrong about Mandarin as well. Jaybling ( talk) 19:13, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

[There's no mention of specific storylines onscreen. I hope this helps]. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 21:53, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
I'm not happy with the current description of the plot, which mentions the New Year's Eve flashback scene at the very start of the section. I understand why it has been included here, because it was shown first in the film. However, I feel that it would serve the purpose of the article better if it were included further down the page, in the paragraph about Stark's first encounter with Killian. The reason for this is that Stark reaslises his actions on that night were directly responsible for setting Killian on the path he chose, and Stark blames himself for them. Therefore, the flashback is more relevant to that scene than the opening.
Furthermore, describing the flashbacks at the start of the section provides no context to their relevance later in the film, and the reader has to keep reading to understand what it means. There is nothing in the MOS that says recounts like this have to be done chronologically, and the MOS also emphasises clarity. I think it would be much clearer if the section was attached to the scene that it has the most relevance to. Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 04:47, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

There are some edits that I may suggest to this article. For instance, at the end of the movie, after the psychologist listens to Tony Stark halfway and falls asleep, the screen goes black with a message; TONY STARK WILL BE BACK. Also, there are some specificications I would like to suggest to the "plot" part. I do not understand why this page was made a semi-protected one, but I think it was made so by some foolish people who wanted their way, only their way. But what of the honest people? What of the people who honestly want to help Wikipedia? Please, can't you just make editing public?

So I'm a bit confused on how to handle this. The film is a co-production between DMG (a Chinese company) and Marvel Studios (American), but according to some articles I've read ([ http://blogs.wsj.com/chinarealtime/2013/03/08/iron-man-3-blasts-away-at-china-co-production-myth/ Wall Street Journal), the film is technically not filling in all it's forms to become an official American-Chinese co-production.

On 6th May, i have added the review taken by The Times Of India, suddenly it was deleted by Tenebrae according to that fellow it must be a short paragraph, i admit besause i had added a long paragraph. I think the review must be there in short paragraph not totaly unavailable. That person mentioned that "The reception area is already long and covers most aspects", in my opinion the area must be shortened and a single review must be added (in short paragraph). Himanis Das talk 06:28, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
I realize that the main starting opening of the article mentions how the plot is inspired by the Extremis story arc, but given how there's no source provided for that, is it possible to add that it's also inspired by the Mandarin's story arc from Iron Man: Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. (#15-28) aka Iron Man: Haunted?
If you don't understand what I mean, you can have a look at the specific story arc I'm talking about on the Mandarin's wiki page under the sub-heading "Government inflitration". Demented-P ( talk) 15:49, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
There are numerous sources reporting that around the half-way point in the film, Aldrich Killian is revealed to be the true Mandarin and that Kingsley is a decoy. Even though the film wont be released in the United States until May 3rd, someone should still add this in the cast section. Also Marvel Movies Wiki is reporting that Mark Ruffalo will appear as Bruce Banner in a post credit scene so maybe you can add that too.

This is correct. I've been to the avant première yesterday (23 April). No post credit scene though.
I have seen the film in Australia and it contained a post-credits seen with Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner. I don't have a reliable source though. These are close though. Don't be alarmed when people add it to the article as they see it.. unfortunantely, still without a source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.170.78.244 ( talk) 09:58, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
"Rhodes secures the president and takes him to safety, while Stark discovers Potts has survived the Extremis procedure. However, before he can save her, a rig collapses around them and she falls to her apparent death. Stark confronts Killian and traps him in an Iron Man suit that self-destructs, but fails to kill him. Potts, whose Extremis powers allowed her to survive her fall, intervenes and kills Killian."
Is the above paragraph correct? My understanding was Pepper "survived" because the procedure was cut off, and Stark obviously didn't know her body has acquired the Extremis powers because he didn't think Pepper would've survived the fall.-- Krystaleen 05:44, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I don't mean to worry anyone here but I would perfer not to mention Aldrich Killian as Mandarin because he was not wearing and using rings. It frustrates some users like me when you slander that name over the bad twist that plagues the filmand the Marvel Cinematic Universe and besides Killian never mentioned himself as the Mandarin until he came out of the debree so disappointingly not dead because he was ticked at Tony for outsmarting him with part shifting Mark 42 armor that failed to kill him due to his Extremis enhanced body being denser than the other soldiers in his organization. If he was really the Mandarin, he should have used power rings but he did not so that does not make him any more official than Trevor Slattery, not even the dragon tatoos. He only combined fire elements with Extremis which makes him more like the supervillain Firebrand in a more extremis enchanced version. I reccommend not to mention Killian as the Mandarin at least not on the Iron Man 3 page. They may reintroduce Kingsley's character as the actual Mandarin in the future MCU installments. Afterall with Iron Man 4 announced along with two rumored 5th and 6th films and with Mandarin being Iron Man's arch enemy, it would be impossible for the staff of the Marvel films to continue without the actual character, and especially withoutthe rings too because there is one more major story line in the Iron Man comics that Marvel hasn't used yet before Extremis got their attention. It's the Dragon Seed Saga; the one where Fin Fang Foom betrays the Mandarin over his legion of alien dragons coming to invade earth forcing Iron Man and his arch enemy to team up to defeat the dragons. MandarinVengeance ( talk) 01:03, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
You don't know that it will last because Marvel may reintroduce the character in the future whether you believe it or not. So please no more disagreeing comments MandarinVengeance ( talk) 21:22, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
Youre twisting my words. Black said interpretation, meaning under consideration. Whether a new or fixed Mandarin will appear or not, we will still have Fin Fang Foom for Iron Man 4 at least and if a new Mandarin or reintroduced Mandarin is confirmed, Killian will be the real phony then.

I don't understand why this keeps getting removed, because the rest of that paragraph makes little sense without it; the Shane Black quote for example. - Sudo Ghost 01:10, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Re:SudoGhost - Of course it needs to be mentioned, just not twice within the same paragraph. And it's Black's quote that puts the information in context, not the other way around.
Re:Demented-P - The claim does not summarize his role in the film, and even if it does there's no reason for the information to be mentioned twice within the same paragraph. The quotes concerning Don Cheadle's and Ben Kingsley's characters are not redundant as they do not re-state what is elsewhere in their descriptions. And the claim is highly debatable (for reasons best not getting in to). It's the claim that needs Shane Black's quote, not the other way around. And again, there is no inferred reading behind Black's quote as he blatantly says Guy Pearce's character is the real Mandarin.
LoveWaffle (

LoveWaffle is correct. The Shane Black quote gives the facts from the horse's mouth succinctly and makes perfect sense in context. Adding additional plot information to the cast section about it is redundant. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 16:29, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Readers should be able to look at a cast list without having the plot given away. The plot section serves that function. The Cast List should not go into the casting history for the role - we usually have the Casting section for that. The current Guy Pearce and Ben Kingsley list entries are much too long - a lot of their material, including the Shane Black quote, should be removed from the cast list, and probably put in the Development section, discussing how the script evolved. A Casting section should be carved out - in this article it only currently exists as an unlabelled part of the Pre-production section. - Gothicfilm ( talk) 22:26, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
I believe that Wikipedia:Spoiler covers this, information should not be restricted just because it is a spoiler. The cast section is exactly for this type of information and as it stands as "who is the true alter ego of the Mandarin" suits the purposes fine. Don't forget that for an article to reach GA it needs to be detailed and sourced correctly. WP:FILMCAST Is quite clear on the subject. -- MisterShiney ✉ 20:01, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Re: "Disabled scientist Aldrich Killian offers them a place in his company, Advanced Idea Mechanics...." Now, is he really offering the rich, famous, powerful tony Stark "a place in his company"?

After watching Iron Man 3, i found that it was filmed in Bern, Switzerland; Wilmington, North Carolina and Florida (as it was mentionedn whenever the part in thier respective loaction plays).
But in Wikipedia's article it was written that, it was also filmed in Beijing, China; Hyderabad, India and Bengaluru, India. In the film not a single part of those locations were there.
Also lastly (in the film) it was revealed that the original Mandarin was not Ben Kingsley it was Guy Pearce. But in Wikipedia it was written that it was non other than Ben Kingsley.
Again these chinese actress were not featured in the film Yao Chen and Fan Bingbing. Himanis Das talk 06:33, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
The SAS Institute PR team sent me a ping noting that the beginning of the Production/Film section covers the filming at each location in North Carolina, but doesn't mention the filming at SAS, which is used as the headquarters for Stark Industries. This local broadcast in front of the SAS campus is focused on a semi-confirmed "rumor" that parts of Iron Man 3 were being filmed at SAS. (also mentioned here) This brief article suggests the production team was scheduled to "potentially" go to SAS after Epic Games in the timeline. The "rumor" was recently confirmed by SAS here, where the company says SAS headquarters were used as the headquarters of Stark Industries.

So, a user keeps creating the page Iron Man 3 (video game) without any sources, beyond the one already present here. The game does not appear to be notable, as it was released on mobile platforms as a promotional item for the film, and only a few sources exist. The ones that do exist appear to indicate short-term interest, tied only into the game's relation to the film. The user has contended that pages for other mobile games exist, which is true, however these generally have established independent notability, which this game has not. Notability requires verifiable evidence that there exists significant coverage of the game. I'm hoping that we can discuss the game here instead of continuing to edit war over the page. - Fandraltastic ( talk) 23:07, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Simple request, in the Cast section, can we alter the cast member listing a little bit? Instead of Downey Jr., Paltrow, Cheadle, Pearce, Hall, Szostak, Badge Dale, Favreau, Kingsley, Simpkins as it is originally, can we make it Downey Jr., Paltrow, Cheadle, Pearce, Hall, Kingsley, Badge Dale, Szostak, Favreau, Simpkins (and possibly switch the 8th and 10th billed) so that the list can better reflect the cast members and their respective character's importance and involvement with the film? Sorry! I tend to be a bit OC about things. And anyway, I was late for this movie, so correct me if I'm wrong about how much I think someone's character was involved in the film. I'm not making a request to make the same alterations to the listing in the info box since it's the film's official billing (but would you mind placing a "with" and "and" before Favreau and Kingsley respectively?).

Because someone there has added casting credits for Iron Man 3 that includes Sam Elliott as Thunderbolt Ross, Rocky Carroll as the Falcon, and Regina Spektor as Yelena Belova. I believe none of those is correct since they are all busy. Sam Elliott was replaced as General Ross by William Hurt, Rocky is probably doing prep for NCIS and Regina is more likely on tour. In addition, there is no link to even support that the cast has been increased. All of this makes me understand why imdb is a terrible site to use in the context of linking to here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guidorulz ( talk • contribs) 17:47, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

I know that it has not yet been verified but with Coulson no longer around, it is logical that Maria Hill takes his place as Tony Stark's S.H.I.E.L.D. watchdog.

Graviton continues to change the starring list without reason, but he has at least confessed his purpose by posting this on my talk page: "You stupid idiot STOP MAKING WOMEN SPOIL THE MOMENT BEFORE I HAVE TO COME FIND YOU!". His misogynistic attitude not withstanding, he has no basis for changing this list and is apparently doing it because women ruin the moment, whatever moment that is. It's been discussed in edit summaries, his talk page and now here, and by discussed I mean people have said it and he has ignored it until saying stuff like the above.

Marvel has recently released a new tv spot (can be see here) and with in it it confirms that Pepper is going to be wearing the armor, at least an Iron Man one.

The coverage of the things spotted in set photos in the filming section does not appear to encyclopedic.

It says here that Mandarin's role is a behind the scenes villain, but its source is claiming that whilst also claiming Guy Pearce is the main villain. With that article being from May and Guy Pearce admitting that his role is essentially an extended cameo, shouldn't we delete the behind the scenes aspect of Mandarin?

I'm not happy with the current description of the plot, which mentions the New Year's Eve flashback scene at the very start of the section. I understand why it has been included here, because it was shown first in the film. However, I feel that it would serve the purpose of the article better if it were included further down the page, in the paragraph about Stark's first encounter with Killian. The reason for this is that Stark reaslises his actions on that night were directly responsible for setting Killian on the path he chose, and Stark blames himself for them. Therefore, the flashback is more relevant to that scene than the opening.
Furthermore, describing the flashbacks at the start of the section provides no context to their relevance later in the film, and the reader has to keep reading to understand what it means. There is nothing in the MOS that says recounts like this have to be done chronologically, and the MOS also emphasises clarity. I think it would be much clearer if the section was attached to the scene that it has the most relevance to. Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 04:47, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

I realize that the main starting opening of the article mentions how the plot is inspired by the Extremis story arc, but given how there's no source provided for that, is it possible to add that it's also inspired by the Mandarin's story arc from Iron Man: Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

There are numerous sources reporting that around the half-way point in the film, Aldrich Killian is revealed to be the true Mandarin and that Kingsley is a decoy. Even though the film wont be released in the United States until May 3rd, someone should still add this in the cast section.

Potts, whose Extremis powers allowed her to survive her fall, intervenes and kills Killian."
Is the above paragraph correct? My understanding was Pepper "survived" because the procedure was cut off, and Stark obviously didn't know her body has acquired the Extremis powers because he didn't think Pepper would've survived the fall.-- Krystaleen 05:44, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I don't mean to worry anyone here but I would perfer not to mention Aldrich Killian as Mandarin because he was not wearing and using rings. It frustrates some users like me when you slander that name over the bad twist that plagues the filmand the Marvel Cinematic Universe and besides Killian never mentioned himself as the Mandarin until he came out of the debree so disappointingly not dead because he was ticked at Tony for outsmarting him with part shifting Mark 42 armor that failed to kill him due to his Extremis enhanced body being denser than the other soldiers in his organization. If he was really the Mandarin, he should have used power rings but he did not so that does not make him any more official than Trevor Slattery, not even the dragon tatoos. He only combined fire elements with Extremis which makes him more like the supervillain Firebrand in a more extremis enchanced version. I reccommend not to mention Killian as the Mandarin at least not on the Iron Man 3 page. They may reintroduce Kingsley's character as the actual Mandarin in the future MCU installments. Afterall with Iron Man 4 announced along with two rumored 5th and 6th films and with Mandarin being Iron Man's arch enemy, it would be impossible for the staff of the Marvel films to continue without the actual character, and especially withoutthe rings too because there is one more major story line in the Iron Man comics that Marvel hasn't used yet before Extremis got their attention. It's the Dragon Seed Saga; the one where Fin Fang Foom betrays the Mandarin over his legion of alien dragons coming to invade earth forcing Iron Man and his arch enemy to team up to defeat the dragons.

Youre twisting my words. Black said interpretation, meaning under consideration.

Re:SudoGhost - Of course it needs to be mentioned, just not twice within the same paragraph. And it's Black's quote that puts the information in context, not the other way around.
Re:Demented-P - The claim does not summarize his role in the film, and even if it does there's no reason for the information to be mentioned twice within the same paragraph. The quotes concerning Don Cheadle's and Ben Kingsley's characters are not redundant as they do not re-state what is elsewhere in their descriptions. And the claim is highly debatable (for reasons best not getting in to). It's the claim that needs Shane Black's quote, not the other way around. And again, there is no inferred reading behind Black's quote as he blatantly says Guy Pearce's character is the real Mandarin.

Readers should be able to look at a cast list without having the plot given away. The plot section serves that function. The Cast List should not go into the casting history for the role - we usually have the Casting section for that. The current Guy Pearce and Ben Kingsley list entries are much too long - a lot of their material, including the Shane Black quote, should be removed from the cast list, and probably put in the Development section, discussing how the script evolved. A Casting section should be carved out - in this article it only currently exists as an unlabelled part of the Pre-production section. - Gothicfilm ( talk) 22:26, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
I believe that Wikipedia:Spoiler covers this, information should not be restricted just because it is a spoiler. The cast section is exactly for this type of information and as it stands as "who is the true alter ego of the Mandarin" suits the purposes fine. Don't forget that for an article to reach GA it needs to be detailed and sourced correctly. WP:FILMCAST Is quite clear on the subject. -- MisterShiney ✉ 20:01, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Re: "Disabled scientist Aldrich Killian offers them a place in his company, Advanced Idea Mechanics...." Now, is he really offering the rich, famous, powerful tony Stark "a place in his company"? Wasn't it more along the lines of seeking investment or support? This makes it sounds as if he were offering to hire Stark. Also, did he have a company, or just the idea for a company? -- Tenebrae ( talk) 23:33, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

After watching Iron Man 3, i found that it was filmed in Bern, Switzerland; Wilmington, North Carolina and Florida (as it was mentionedn whenever the part in thier respective loaction plays).
But in Wikipedia's article it was written that, it was also filmed in Beijing, China; Hyderabad, India and Bengaluru, India. In the film not a single part of those locations were there.
Also lastly (in the film) it was revealed that the original Mandarin was not Ben Kingsley it was Guy Pearce. But in Wikipedia it was written that it was non other than Ben Kingsley.
Again these chinese actress were not featured in the film Yao Chen and Fan Bingbing. Himanis Das talk 06:33, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
The SAS Institute PR team sent me a ping noting that the beginning of the Production/Film section covers the filming at each location in North Carolina, but doesn't mention the filming at SAS, which is used as the headquarters for Stark Industries. This local broadcast in front of the SAS campus is focused on a semi-confirmed "rumor" that parts of Iron Man 3 were being filmed at SAS. (also mentioned here) This brief article suggests the production team was scheduled to "potentially" go to SAS after Epic Games in the timeline. The "rumor" was recently confirmed by SAS here, where the company says SAS headquarters were used as the headquarters of Stark Industries.

There is an ongoing discussion at the Edwin Jarvis talk page regarding the way we refer to Tony Stark's computer system. Could I please ask for your views on the matter? Thanks. drewmunn talk 10:27, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
So, a user keeps creating the page Iron Man 3 (video game) without any sources, beyond the one already present here. The game does not appear to be notable, as it was released on mobile platforms as a promotional item for the film, and only a few sources exist. The ones that do exist appear to indicate short-term interest, tied only into the game's relation to the film. The user has contended that pages for other mobile games exist, which is true, however these generally have established independent notability, which this game has not. Notability requires verifiable evidence that there exists significant coverage of the game. I'm hoping that we can discuss the game here instead of continuing to edit war over the page. - Fandraltastic ( talk) 23:07, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
Since its seems Brian82027 is insisting, I have nominated the page for deletion at WP:Articles for deletion/Iron Man 3 (video game).-- TriiipleThreat ( talk) 22:43, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Simple request, in the Cast section, can we alter the cast member listing a little bit? Instead of Downey Jr., Paltrow, Cheadle, Pearce, Hall, Szostak, Badge Dale, Favreau, Kingsley, Simpkins as it is originally, can we make it Downey Jr., Paltrow, Cheadle, Pearce, Hall, Kingsley, Badge Dale, Szostak, Favreau, Simpkins (and possibly switch the 8th and 10th billed) so that the list can better reflect the cast members and their respective character's importance and involvement with the film? Sorry! I tend to be a bit OC about things. And anyway, I was late for this movie, so correct me if I'm wrong about how much I think someone's character was involved in the film. I'm not making a request to make the same alterations to the listing in the info box since it's the film's official billing (but would you mind placing a "with" and "and" before Favreau and Kingsley respectively?). Thanks for your time! Nickrp ( talk) 17:04, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
