Preparation for May 3, 2013 Film Release
Following in the footsteps of the record-breaking Marvel Studios’ release
“Marvel’s The Avengers,” production on the highly anticipated film “Iron Man 3,”
directed by Shane Black, has commenced production in Wilmington, North Carolina.
The production schedule will also include locations in Raleigh/Durham, North
Carolina, Miami, Florida and China.
Based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book
series, first published in 1963, “Iron Man 3” returns Robert Downey Jr. (“Iron
Man,” “Marvel’s The Avengers”) as the iconic Super Hero character Tony
Stark/Iron Man along with Gwyneth Paltrow (“Iron Man,” “Iron Man 2,”) as Pepper
Potts, Don Cheadle (“Iron Man 2”) as James “Rhodey” Rhodes and Jon Favreau
(“Iron Man,” “Iron Man 2”) as Happy Hogan. Set for release in the U.S. on May 3,
2013, Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” marks the second feature to be fully owned, marketed
and distributed by Disney, which acquired Marvel in 2009.
“Iron Man 3” continues the
epic, big-screen adventures of the world’s favorite billionaire inventor/Super
Hero, Tony Stark aka “Iron Man.” Marvel Studios’ President Kevin Feige is
producing the film. Executive producers on the project include Jon Favreau,
Louis D’Esposito, Alan Fine, Stan Lee, Charles Newirth, Victoria Alonso, Stephen
Broussard and Dan Mintz.
The creative production team on the film
includes two-time Oscar®-winning director of photography John Toll, ASC
(“Braveheart,” “Legends of the Fall”), production designer Bill Brzeski (“The
Hangover,” “Due Date”), editors Jeffrey Ford, A.C.E. (“Marvel’s The Avengers,”
“Captain America: The First Avenger”) and Peter S. Elliot (“Fantastic 4: Rise of
the Silver Surfer”), and costume designer Louise Frogley (“Quantum of Solace,”
“Contagion”).
Marvel Studios most recently
produced the critically acclaimed “Marvel’s The Avengers,” which set the
all-time, domestic 3-day weekend box office record at $207.4 million. The film,
which is currently in release, continues to shatter box office records and is
The Walt Disney Studios’ highest-grossing global and domestic release of all
time and marks the studios’ fifth film to gross more than $1 billion
worldwide.
In the summer of 2011, Marvel
successfully launched two new franchises with “Thor,” starring Chris Hemsworth,
and “Captain America: The First Avenger,” starring Chris Evans. Both films
opened #1 at the box office and have grossed over $800 million worldwide
combined. In 2010 “Iron Man 2,” starring Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don
Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson and Mickey Rourke, took the #1 spot in its first
weekend with a domestic box office gross of $128.1 million.
In the summer of 2008, Marvel produced the
summer blockbuster movies “Iron Man” and “The Incredible Hulk.” “Iron Man,” in
which Robert Downey Jr. originally dons the Super Hero’s powerful armor and
stars alongside co-stars Terrence Howard, Jeff Bridges and Gwyneth Paltrow, was
released May 2, 2008, and was an immediate box office success. Garnering the
number one position for two weeks in a row, the film brought in over $100
million in its opening weekend. On June 13, 2008, Marvel released “The
Incredible Hulk,” marking its second number one opener of that
summer.
