Right? After that gang's all here spectacle, solo movies seem like a letdown. Although this is Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) directing, so I'm super curious about IM3.

“@ZackRyder: @CMPunk She played me bro” I got your back.
It feels like the spectacle is going to revolve around Ben Kingsley's Mandarin, who's doing a fine Liam Neeson's Ra's Al Ghul impression. I'm sold on the guy as the villain.
This trailer is hinting at a much darker Iron Man and I'm not sure I necessarily like that. Yeah, I was the one that wanted Demon in a Bottle, but I also know what I like from the Iron Man movies. I like that they're fun, irreverent romps. They're lighter, campier versions of the Batman films. I've had my fill of dark superhero movies, so I hope this isn't another one of those. But I'll give Shane Black the benefit of the doubt.
Curious that there's no sign of Samuel L. Jackson yet. But the theory floating around IGN is that IM3, Thor 2, and Cap 2 are all going to be happening simultaneously.
I echo the Lost snub. It would've just got run over by the Sopranos' juggernaut, but damned if it isn't better than Boston Legal, Grey's, House and sure as hell Heroes.
