Iron Patriot In Iron Man 3

Earlier this month James Badge Dale joined the Iron Man 3 cast as the movie's main villain, but his role in the movie was unknown. But today the website Superficial has caught glimpses of Dale in his costume...the Iron Patriot costume.

James Badge Dale will be playing as the Iron Patriot in Iron Man 3 according to these photos taken by the Superficial in North Carolina. Originally it was thought that Badge would be playing Coldblood considering his character in Iron Man 3 is Eric Savin, but now he will be playing Norman Osborn's alter-ego The Iron Patriot.

The Iron Patriot first appeared during the Dark Reign event in which Norman Osborn was in charge of H.A.M.M.E.R. and took on the role of Iron Man by replicating his suit and combining it with the symbolism of Captain America. Unfortunately it won't be Osborn as Iron Patriot due to the fact that Sony has right to the movie character.

James Badge Dale To Play As Eric Savin In Iron Man 3

James Badge Dale (The Departed, Rubicon) has been signed up to play Eric Savin in Iron man 3, who will be playing the main villain for the movie.

Eric Savin, aka Coldblood-7 (his villain name in the comics) was first introduced in Marvel Comics Presents #26 in 1989. Savin was a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army until he stepped on a land mine which obviously caused him to die. Shortly afterwards Savin was resurrected as a Cyborg under the Ultra-Tech project.  From there Coldblood then became a mercenary where he took on jobs with his superhuman strength, speed, stamina and durability with enhanced sensory implants. Coldblood has been known to connect himself to any computer system.

It is not known whether or not if Dale's character will become Coldblood in Iron Man 3 or if he will just stay as Eric Savin throughout the movie.

Guy Pearce In Iron Man 3

Marvel is in final negotiations in order to snag Guy Pearce to appear in Iron Man 3 in order to play Aldrich Killian. Don't know who Killian is? I'll explain in a bit.

Shane Black, the director of Iron Man 3, is basing the movie around the Extremis story arc. Killian is an employee at Futurepharm who helped create the Extremis virus, which was suppose to be a recreated Super Soldier Serum, then stole it and sold it to the highest bidder which was then injected into a criminal, Mallen. Mallen was then mutated and was given superhuman powers.

Iron Man 3 will begin filming next month in North Carolina, from there filming will continue in China in order to get ready for its May 3, 2013 release date.

Iron Man 3 To Kick Off Avengers 2

At the New York Comic Con, Marvel announced that there will be in fact an Avengers 2 and that Iron Man 3 will be the movie to kick it off.

Kevin Feige, film producer at Marvel Studios, has stated that Iron Man 3 will be the movie to kick of the next Avengers initiative. He has also confirmed that Iron man 3 will be directed by Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang).

Is this is the case, then we won't be seeing an Avengers 2 for a few more years; Iron Man 3 is to be scheduled for a May 2013 release, so we most likely won't see it until 2014. And as make sure you wait till the end of The Avengers to see a special teaser trailer for Iron Man 3.

Thor 2 in 2013

Disney announced that Marvel Studios will be doing a second film for Thor. Along with the announcement of Thor 2, Iron Man 3 will have a release date aiming at May 3, 2013. Of course Chris Hemsworth will be returning to portray the God of Thunder, but Kenneth Branagh won't be returning to direct; July 26, 2013 is the planned release date for Thor 2.

We're facing many different movies based off of Marvel's creations - The Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Captain America, Wolverine, Thor 2 and Iron Man 3. I might be missing one or two, those are just from the top of my head, but either way I'm stoked for all of them.
