The Armored Avenger’s greatest enemy strikes in Iron Man 3. Will Tony Stark lose everything? Marvel revealed a very ominous poster for Iron Man 3 starring Tony’s great love, Pepper Potts. The poster shows Gwyneth Paltrow holding the damaged Iron Man helmet. If his helmet is in that condition that imagine what the rest of his armor looks like.
The film includes Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin and the debut of the Iron Patriot armor (worn by Don Cheadle’s James Rhodes.)
Robert Downey, Jr reprises his role as Tony Stark. Will this film set the stage for Iron Man joining the Guardians of the Galaxy?
Iron Man 3 arrives May 3rd.

Will the OSCARS celebrate sci-fi, comic book or horror ever again? Avatar was the most recent sci-fi film to be nominated for an Academy Award. Looper should have a contender at least for screenplay. Oscar buzz inspired this list of my most anticipated genre movies in 2013. These flicks have not receive Oscars but could be next year’s Geek Oscar contenders:
#10 Sin City: A Dame To Kill For Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller take us back to the notorious haven of crime, corruption and women with dangerous curves! Eva Green as Ava, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Josh Brolin join the hard-core citzens of Basin City! October 29.
#9 Oblivion Tom Cruise is a repairman of the future who finds a clan of humans (led by Morgan Freeman) on what’s supposed to be a scorched Earth! This new film from director Joseph Kosinski looks action packed and thought-provoking. April 19.
#8 Kick-Ass 2 Sadistic, satirical and twisted! More “real” superheroics from the mind of Mark Millar. Jim Carrey as Colonel Stars and Stripes is among the new citizen heroes that follows Kick-Ass’s crusade but the Red Mist is plotting vengeance against the vigilantes! June 28.
#7 World War Z I absolutely love the book by Max Brooks. I already know the film is very different from the novel. It really should have been a cable series like the Band of Brothers of zombies. I choose to believe in the Pitt…Brad Pitt! June 21.
#6 Pacific Rim Guillerno del Toro. Giant Robots. Giant Monsters. They had me with del Toro and giant anything! July 12.
#5 Thor: The Dark World Chris Hemsworth portrays the Odinson again as Thor returns to Asgard! Malekitch (Christopher Eccleston of Doctor Who fame) leads the Dark Elves and the powerhouse Kurse! Will Loki be forgiven of his crimes in The Avengers? This cosmic clash is sure to be action packed and could include more of the Shakespearean family drama as Loki could find a shot at redemption. November 8.
#4 Iron Man 3 Even after The Avengers I still believe fans want to see Robert Downey, Jr solo. Tony Stark’s world is obliterated by his arch-enemy. This third film unleashes the Mandarin (Oscar winner Ben Kingsley) and introduces the threat of Extremis and the Iron Patriot armor. The trailer is dark but I’m excited to see Shane Black direct a great performance out of Downey as a dethroned Tony fights his way back. May 3.
#3 The Wolverine I believe this is the movie that will be the definitive Wolverine story! The X-Man will faces an army of ninjas, the Silver Samurai and the woman who will change his life. Based on the classic series by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller and directed by James Mangold – this could be Continue reading Comic Book & Sci Fi Movies of 2013
Will Tony Stark meet his match as Marvel unleashes the Armored Avenger’s greatest enemy from the comic books onto the big screen! The latest Iron Man 3 poster showcases Ben Kingsley as Mandarin! The creators have taken a different approach in translating the super villain. No flowing robes and he’s definitely not Asian. From what I’ve read, the creators decide to make this terrorist leader an amalgam of various cultures and as you can see by the poster he sports a more rugged, militaristic style.
The Mandarin is infamous for his 10 power rings (which were recovered a crashed alien ship.) Could this Mandarin be the leader of the 10 Rings terrorist group that kidnapped Tony in the first film?
How will the Mandarin be connected to scientist Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) and the Extremis nanotechnology?
Don Cheadle is back as James Rhodes but he will be wearing the Iron Patriot armor in this film.
Iron Man 3 hits May 3rd.

Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are uncovering clues to a cosmic mystery and discovering the secrets of their newest member in this week’s Avengers #6 by Jonathan Hickman and Adam Kubert.
Here’s what you need to know if you haven’t been reading: Steve Rogers and Tony Stark realized the Avengers needed to get bigger to battle bigger threats on a global and galactic scale. The team confronted a mysterious trio of strangers on Mars who wanted to scorch and rebuild Earth. When the team is captured Steve “woke the world” and the new recruits (including Sunspot, Cannonball, Shang-Chi, Hyperion and a brand new Smasher) answered the call but it was the new Captain Universe that turned the tide.
Let’s talk about what I loved in this week’s chapter:
1. New kids on the block:
I’m excited that Cannonball and Sunspot have graduated from New Mutants to Avengers. There’s a classic showdown… Continue reading AVENGERS: Captain Universe Revealed!
Marvel revealed a new poster for Iron Man 3 starring Guy Pearce. The actor who played the founder of the “company” in the Alien movie mythology (Prometheus) will make scientist Aldrich Killian come of life on the big screen. Killian is a rival of Tony Stark created in the comic book classic: Iron Man: Extremis. I’m excited to see the scenes between Killian and Stark. Rebecca Hall plays Maya Hansen, another scientist on the frightening science project from nanotech hell.
Robert Downey, Jr will face Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin. Plus, we’ll see Don Cheadle reprise his role as James Rhodes but wearing the Iron Patriot armor in the sequel.
Iron Man 3 arrives May 3.

Tony Stark’s best friend gets the spotlight on the new poster from Marvel for Iron Man 3! This is a the best look yet at James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) in the Iron Patriot armor!
Why did Rhodey ditch the War Machine suit for the armor worn by the villainous Norman Osborne in the comic books? Could Rhodey be turned against Tony (Robert Downey, Jr) in the sequel? Tony seems to lose everything in the trailer so maybe his friendship with James is threatened too?
We’ll find out when Iron Man 3 opens May 3, 2013.

Tony Stark is a self-described futurist but Kieron Gillen will explore Iron Man’s hidden past in The Secret Origin of Tony Stark.
“Howard Stark has a secret. A dirty dirty secret,” Gillen kicked off the Marvel.com liveblog.
“I was walking through the airport thinking I wanted to do
something meaningful that hearkened back to the beginning of Iron Man for his
50th anniversary and also spliced in some stuff with the Guardians of the
Galaxy. I thought to do all that would be impossible. Then I had an idea. Then I
laughed, because I couldn’t do that. And now…”
“Tony discovers something from the past that Continue reading Secret Origin of Tony Stark
