Here is the first trailer for Iron Man 3, the first post-Avengers Marvel film.  I must say, it looks much darker and more action packed than the first two, and there doesn’t seem to be as much of a comedic element to this one, at least not based on this trailer.  It’ll be interesting to see if there are any cameos by Avengers characters.  I’d find it hard to believe they’d see stuff on the news about Stark’s house being blown up and not offer a helping hand.  Check out the trailer below after the jump.

Iron Man 3 opens everywhere May 3, 2013.

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?
