Comic-Con 2012: Marvel Unveils Tony Stark's New 'Iron Man 3' Armor

We've gotten an official shot of Tony Stark's growing sets of armor as the sequel Iron Man 3 is in production. Some official concept art debuted just last week and is being handed out here at Comic-Con, but today Marvel made a big debut of the newest set of armor at the Marvel booth. We're currently waiting in Hall H for the Marvel panel (with plenty of surprises in store), so we'll have a lot more from the sequel coming soon, but this new shot of the armor should hold you over. Honestly, I think it doesn't have enough red, but this might be a suit Stark uses in the middle of the movie before getting a better one. Check it out!
Here's the new set of Iron Man 3 armor from the Marvel booth via The Avengers Twitter page:
And here's a couple close-up looks thanks to our friends at ScreenRant (head there for some more shots):
Iron Man 3 is directed by Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) from a script he also wrote with British TV writer Drew Pearce ("No Heroics"). Robert Downey Jr. returns as Tony Stark along with Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and Jon Favreau reprising their franchise roles from the first two films. New cast members include Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, James Badge Dale and Ashley Hamilton. Story details are unknown at this time but stay tuned. Disney sends Iron Man 3 to theaters next summer on May 3rd, 2013.

uh....ok i knew it was going to be different but it looks like they just reversed the colors of MK6 with replacing the Triangle for a Circle...

don't understand why they feel its necessary to change the suit? you don't seem tony changing the suit in the comics

Um, you do realize that there have been over 40 different suits in the comics? Tony is sorta like an inventor, so his whole thing is the constant improvement of the suit to meet the ever-changing and advancing threats within the Marvel U. In fact, the new suit for the "revision" of the Marvel U coming this winter and next spring will have a black and gold suit with red lights: http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/07/03/marvel-universe-to-undergo-drastic-changes

it very well may be a new suit case armor or an emergency equip one, look how the joints are more exposed, it could also be that extremis stuff people mention since it looks more snug....

Id rather they would have gone with that black an gold suit, thats looks so badass! But red and BEIGE?.. Hopefully it is just some sort of backup suit.. :/

Almost looks like the Bleeding Edge armour. Apart from the colours being a little flat it's not that bad. Excited to see where this is going

Finally, a comment from someone who obviously reads the comics.

I like the design, I even like the color placement, but I do not like how plastic it looks and I do not like how the gold is tan

I don't like it either. Like many others, I dislike the color. The design is nice, but it should have more red than gold.

didn't they 'test screen' the suit with fans? it's ugly as hell!

If the suit is that ugly I can imagine how awful the movie is going to be. If they have no sense in designing a respectable suit then they have no sense in story telling or directing I mean dam man!!! Even the old designs from the comics looked better than that ughh....

The "american flag" suit is based on the Iron Patriot armor, which was actually worn by Norman Osborn (a villain) during a major arc in the Marvel U. Besides, the studio claims the "american flag" armor is supposed to be a new War Machine suit, not that it makes the whole thing any better.
Secundus on Jul 14, 2012

I think it looks great. A radical departure but awesome none the less. I bet the suit is for a specific purpose and won't be his regular anyway. Just like the Hulk-buster had a specific purpose

it might be a new suitcase armor, look how more of the joints are exposed...

keep in mind this is the start of an arc called the Armor Wars, obviously they figured out how to get one or steal one since he had removable reactors in the 2nd movie....
