Iron Man 3 Release Date: Marvel Reveals The New Movie's Plot

Marvel Studios and parent company Disney released the plot synopsis of the upcoming super hero film "Iron Man 3." The movie will release on May 3, 2013, and the film will be converted to 3D in post-production. The story was first reported by IGN.

Here is a look at the synopsis:

"Marvel Studios' Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?"

The new movie will be the first Marvel film since the crossover mega-blockbuster hit "The Avengers" and will see Robert Downey, Jr. reprises his role as Tony Stark, for the fourth time. Other cast members reprising their roles are Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and Jon Favreau reprising their roles as Pepper Potts, James Rhodes and Happy Hogan, respectively. Joining the cast will be Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Stephanie Szostak, James Badge Dale and Ben Kingsley.

This will be the first Iron Man film not directed by Jon Favreau, who will instead serve as the film's executive producer. Shane Black is set to take over the director's chair and will work with a screenplay he helped to write with Drew Pearce, which will be based on the "Extremis" story arc by Warren Ellis.

The "Extremis" story arc was a reimagining of the Iron Man character and increasing the power of his armor significantly. Many elements in the first two "Iron Man" films were adapted from the story arc. The story deals heavily with nano technology.

Marvel also released a simpler description that reads: "In Marvel's Iron Man 3, Tony Stark/Iron Man finds his world reduced to rubble by a malevolent enemy and must use his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him as he seeks to destroy the enemy and his cohorts."

The villain should be Ben Kingsly's interpretation of Iron Man arch-nemesis the Mandarin, who in the film will be the leader of a terrorist organization.
