Marvel Studios channelise honcho Kevin Feige has gone in - depth on a number of full stop about the new Iron Man movie . permit ’s start with how it does ( and does n’t ) connect in with The Avengers :
This is all about how he was affected by the event of The Avengers , and how his human beings and mentality can be involve by that . By the end of Avengers , when a portal is opened up in Manhattan and he ’s met Thor and The Hulk and the Chitauri are add up down on him , he realises that he does n’t know everything ; we think that has had an effect on his soul , and then his world is blown out from underneath him … Iron Man 3 does n’t feature any of the other Avengers , or Nick Fury showing up , or any of those humankind - blending conceits that the Phase One picture show had . You have to keep in mind that Iron Man 3 had been in the works for almost a year , yr and a one-half before The Avengers was give up . We ’re cleave to the vision for these films , and showing once again that these characters are just as interesting alone as they are together .
He also discusses Ben Kingsley ’s villainous role as the Mandarin :
Early – and very belated – draft of Iron Man 1 featured The Mandarin as a villain . The Mandarin is his most notable foe in the comics mainly because he ’s been around the longest . If you look , there ’s not needs a definitive Mandarin storyline in the comics . So it was really about having an mind . In terms of the Fu Manchu stereotyping that was involve , we never had any interest in that . He ’s inexorable . Assuming that he ’s the one creditworthy for what happens to Tony ’s theatre , no other villain has been capable to hit that tight and that severely at one of our submarine sandwich . He ’s very much about believing that the earthly concern needs to learn , and he wants to bend the world to his visual sense .
ultimately , he explains why Don Cheadle ’s James Rhodes is trade in his War Machine power train for the Iron Patriot :
The opinion in the motion picture is that a red , white and depressed suit is a bold statement , and it ’s mean to be . With Rhodey , he ’s very much the foil to Tony ’s eccentricities , and in this one you get to see this and be remind of the trust and friendly relationship between them in that neat Shane Black pal - cop manner .

Elsewhere , Feige discusses the movie ’s tone and plan of attack :
It ’s not a serious moving picture , but we gravely dig into exploring more of Tony . The joke is just trying to make peachy movies . We render to make them all great , all dissimilar and all unfermented . What you ’ll see in Iron Man 3 is some very unequaled directions that were ingest . ”
And here ’s some more from conductor Shane Black :
“ We ’re not purport for braggy , necessarily . We ’re aim for different and fresh and unexampled . It ’s all about capturing that lightning - in - a - bottle flavor , about trying to get as much into this as we can . We ’re looking to get a ton of bang into a short space , to make a nice little sweat for you . ”

Star Chris Hemsworth explains how the sequel differs from its harbinger :
There ’s a spate more of an organic sort of look to Asgard now . And that Viking component of the Asgardian people , of Thor ’s chronicle , is much more present … It ’s less science fiction . I mean , if you count at [ director Alan Taylor ’s body of work on ] Game Of Thrones , what I love about it is that it has that mythical element but you ’re always grounded in such an organic world . I recollect that ’s the goal scored second time round .
He also excuse the fussy narrative challenges of build a Thor story when this is the third sentence the audience has seen him , counting The Avengers :
In a room , it becomes more hard at this point . Thor 1 was the origin fib and he starts off as a brash child and end as the Cuban sandwich ; the danger then is , where does he go from here ? If he does n’t change , he ’s gon na become boring . How do you cave in him down again to rebuild him and have some form of electric arc , some sort of journey ? avenger was different , it was the arc of the team . So now , on [ Thor 2 ] , we ’ve been really throwing around , “ Okay , so what ’s Thor ’s bountiful conflict here ? ” Because it ca n’t just be that speculative tempter again , or that he ’s too cocky . We ’ve done that . And now , where does the humour lie ? Because it ca n’t be the fish - out - of - water , Crocodile Dundee variety of matter that we had in the first one . He ’s been to Earth now . There may be elements of that …

Director Guillermo del Toro stopped by the forums of his prescribed fansite to portion out a little backstory for the Jaegers , the jumbo robots used to fight the grievous Kaiju in the flick :
The jaeger were based on survive Robotic / DARPA Jet - fighter neuronic link . The very first engines used to create the “ heftiness strands ” on the Jaeger limbs were Husqvarna engines and the first forum lineage was an amalgam between Germany and US . Those were the MARK I … “ Muscle Strand ” was a novel base nomenclature for the Equus caballus index assigned to each Jaeger ’s limb but it is not an actual muscle fiber - based system .

Peeta Mellark actor Josh Hutcherson discusses what to have a bun in the oven from new director Francis Lawrence ’s Hunger Games sequel :
“ They actually built a profusion in Atlanta that we shot at , and it looks awful , and the fashion that the wheel spoke got out , and the way everyone comes up on the pedestal and the water – it looks incredible . “ I ’ve seen some of the CG renderings that [ director ] Francis [ Lawrence ] has work on , and they look really , really slap-up . They ’re spud , I suppose , all the stuff and nonsense in the Arena is cash in one’s chips to be IMAX . So when you go see it in IMAX , you ’ll see the regular movie when we ’re in the Districts and in the Capitol . When you see us go up in the pod in the game , it will open up into IMAX . It will be awesome . It ’s very cool . ”

Costar Dallas Roberts discuss his quality Milton , starting with his family relationship with Michael Rooker ’s Merle :
I conceive they live on in confrontation with each other ( laughs ) . That is a real playfulness dynamic to play with Michael Rooker . Milton and Merle have completely different value and completely different outlook on living . You put them in a room together and it is fun to watch the pyrotechnic go off .
From what we have seen so far , it seems you are trying to reckon out the behaviors of the living dead and possibly even attempt to vacate the process . What can you tell us about your experiments ?
Yeah , I remember ideally reversal would be the ultimate goal . Milton is on his back foot certainly , there is a limited amount of electricity and he sure does n’t have all of the country of the art medical equipment that you would need , but he is get to his agency toward that idea and at this full stop he is just strain to gather information and examine the undead and see what he can learn about them . Sort of the same way a life scientist would study a raw species . He is in the data gathering level at this compass point .
