While Iron Man 3 fans are still trying to recover from all the action set pieces and armors seen in the latest Iron Man 3 trailer, there's definitely more contained in the footage than is necessarily discernable on first viewing.
As we did with the first Iron Man 3 trailer analysis, it seems time to take a close look at the new trailer, and point out the most promising teases and nagging questions put on display. First, we thought it would be a good idea to clear up a few of the things we know would be useful to readers.
Those willing to endure some serious story spoilers can check out our preview of the Iron Man 3 extended footage, but for our purposes here, nothing will be spoiled beyond what's actually shown in the trailer itself.
Or more plausibly because it’s NOT Wasp at all. Why would Marvel have her listed as Bethany Cabe when she’s not… I think SR is wishing too much into this. I don’t think Marvel would screw that much the origin of the Wasp, nor would they make another character become the Wasp instead of Janet Van Dyne.
So until proven wrong, I consider what is listed on IMDB as real, and that she will play Bethany Cabe. No Wasp in sight for IM3. No origin screw-ups. Which would be kinda good news. Anyway, I don’t think Wasp was ever involved in the Extremis storyline…
If you look on wikipedia it says her character is “to be revealed” NO MENTION of Bethany Cabe so I dont know where that name came from but if they are holdig it so close to the vest that wiki is not allowed to reveal it I dont think SR can say who she is playing!
Either way THAT is a big enough secret to keep IT THAT QUIET she will be playing someone the fans are going to go NUTS about… I think all fans are expecting Janet Van Dyne (aka the wasp) HY ELSE would it be kept SOOO SECRET???
It does fit for sure! but who is to say that IMDB is the end all be all? It could all be a ruse just to keep ppl guessing! I have no clue either way,it does fit the Cabe story line, But Marvel can be quite good at giving FALSE info to throw ppl off..
I think it’s safe to say that the guy swinging at the armor has superhuman strength due to the Extremis virus. There can’t really be any other explanation.
The Wasp thing is a little weird though. Just introduce her in Ant-Mans film. She shouldn’t be involved in this at all.
Wasn’t Cabe part-owner of a bodyguard service and somewhat of an ally to Stark and Rhodes? I just got done reading Demon In A Bottle again and she was a pretty prominent part of that story so maybe they’re setting her up as a big player similar to Hill and Fury (as in, we see them and recognise them but they don’t save the day so much as the main characters)?
Kristen Kreuk is an absolutely, stunningly , beautiful woman and quite a resourceful actress who just needs to given an opportunity in a role for a major movie. Olivia Wilde isn’t really an a-lister either though admittedly has a bigger profile. Then again she was once a television actress as well who was given her chance, so Kristen deserves hers as well.
the guy going bareknuckles with the suit could be Coldblood, we still havent seen much about him and firepower, and they are both pretty powerful, even as minions, I still wonder how they will play in
anybody else think we might see DeathLok in the future, he could have his origin related to this whole incident….
and we still dont know its wasp, could be cabe, could be madam Mask for all we know, we just need to wait and see. hmmm wonder if Damage Control will ever show up XD
That’s true and as we know, in the comic book, Killian isn’t the guy going hand to hand with Iron Man and the guy had the same energy beam power as Stark’s repulsors so maybe they’re giving Coldblood that role or changing it so Killian gets to be the one fighting Stark and ultimately killed by a point blank repulsor to the face?
What I love is that we have enough nods towards the source but enough changed to make the whole thing different enough to not feel like you’ve seen it all before.
well there is the chance we could see MODOK coming out of this movies events, as we are getting AIM, and it takes some powerful tech to make him, heck I could see them turning killian into MODOK even, but we will have to wait and see
If you watch the new trailer then watch the super bowl trailer you know air froce one blows up when tony goes to catch the people and with the new trailer you can see the presdint is about to go in to air force one so else the presdent is one of the people falling from the plane he most likely dead
I didn’t know about Bethany Cabe’s role in the source material, but now that I’ve looked it up, it seems to fit with some of the themes of the movie besides Extremis. But it’s still possible that this is just an alias to keep us from knowing her true character
I’m starting to think that Stephanie Szozak will NOT be The Wasp…
I think she will be related to the little kid that found Tony instead. As much as I want the Wasp to appear, it’s still a bit too early for her appearance, since Ant-Man is out in 2015. Beside, if her power came from Nanovirus, I’m sure if I’m going to like that idea… she needs to get her power from Hank Pym, that’s what I want to see.
SR makes us think she still might be with their analysis of the second trailer, but IMDB listed her as Bethany Cabe, a character from the Ironman comics that I’m not very familiar with, but who fits logically in the Extremis storyline. Janet Van Dyne has no connexion whatsoever with this storyline, so I highly doubt that it’s her.
Don’t get me wrong, I want to see the Wasp, but not along a complete reboot of her origin story that would not make any sense.
As for the rest of your comment, I completely agree with you
This is going to awesome. Totally missed the Wasp cameo thing. I’m still wondering if Radioactive Man is going to play a part of this. And Ant Man what about Ant Man?
Also, am i the only one who thinks they’re telling this Extremis story too soon. I mean it’s only the third movie in the trilogy and they’re already going through with this.
To have Wasp get her powers from some sort of medical procedure/extremis is nothing but HUGE fail in my book. She is supposed to be tied to Hank and his Pym particles which grant her her shrinking ability. To do otherwise would be ultra lame.
Ok, hopefully this turns out to be better than its predecessors. I mean Iron Man was good, Iron Man 2 was eh, and The Avengers was great. Now, this looks to be like a very good film. I hope they keep a balance, like The Avengers did exceptionally well at, with lightheartedness and seriousness. The chemistry between Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow is fantastic, they should keep it going
Also who’s with me. At some point Paltrow needs to be featured in a love scene in this film. I mean she has developed throughout these movies just as Stark has. Should be interesting
I think Paltrow mentioned that this may be her final Marvel film! I bet Happy dies, and maybe something happens to Pepper that HOEFULLY tony gives her the rescue suit! DOES ANYONE know what the HEARTBREAKER suit is all about?? I dont know much about it, can i get some help!! ALSO did ayone see the suit in the trailer when “his boys” show up, THE SUIT ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN…. it looks like a purple or blue suit maybe BUT TO ME IT LOOKS PURPLE, a I have watched it a few times MORE AND MORE IT LOOKS PURPLE
Goliath (Hank Pym: cool blue/yellow costume)
Wasp (Janet Van Dyne)
Quicksilver (Pietro)
Scarlet Witch (Wanda)
They can either be in Iron Man or preferably, Avengers. But we need them.
That was for the good guys. We also have bad-guy needs:
Ultron
Kang
Skrulls
Make these things all happen, again preferably in Avengers, but Iron Man would be OK, too.
First off with Pym, it goes ant-man, then Ant-man/Giant-man, then Goliath, then Goliath/Ant-man(finally can shrink again, adds attenaes), THEN Yellow jacket. Also we proably wont see QS or SW anytime soon, when they have the full rights to other characters they can use completely. Skrulls cant happen till FF returns to Marvel Studios. Kang is equally unlikely, because though he does first show up, he is highly involved with the FF and is a Descendent of(or possibly even due to time-space anomalies) Doctor Doom, so Marvel would only have limited use if any at all
Great analysis. But what the hell? Isn’t anybody gonna talk about the Hulk-Buster armor? Did it really not get you guys excited? I know ScreenRant mentioned it in a previous post but that was just a rumor then. Its a subject that deserves an entire article to fully discuss. Os is that in the works?
@Adarsh V: Aside from what we’ve discussed the armor’s presence meaning when the first concept art was leaked, and our time laying out the possible World War Hulk, and Planet Hulk adaptations, for right now there isn’t much to say.
More recent word is that whether the armor is there or not (and whether it’s Hulkbuster or not, and just some brute armor) the Hulk plan isn’t related at all.
Until there’s some more news or rumors to go on, it’s hard to think of what else there is to say. If you’ve got some insights though, we’d love to hear them!

For number 6, it looks like an Iron Legion Armour, Old school, maybe? Maybe that guy was practicing fighting and swung out his fist right when an Iron Legion armor flew by just in time for him to be safe… It would add comical parts to IM3
I dont know if anybody looked into this, but in the trailers we have seen already, it comes to a point where Tony Stark falls into the water with a ton of metal and other stuff falling onto him. wouldnt this be a good plot to bring in Namor to be introduced? he could show up to help Tony get out from under all the rubble. just a thought
That would definitely be a great surprise, but how would he fit in? That wouldve leaked already and be in the credits. Then need another Big gun other than all of Tony’s suits and War machine. This should be the movie where ant-man and wasp introduced as wella s Ultron and vision
OK so I just saw the film yesterday and decided to fill in some gaps. So;
Extremis is a specially created serum which has the ability to completely restructure DNA. As such, it can regrow limbs, heal any injuries, give the host superstrength/speed/agility/durability, along with the ability to raise your body temperature to unthinkable levels, able to melt metal itself. Killian even develops the ability to breath fire. Killian collects large amounts of crippled ex soldiers and injects them with Extremis. Once injected, the body either accepts it, and as a result becomes another member of the Extremis army, or doesn’t allow it, causing the body to heat up and detonate.
Iron Patriot is the new name given to War Machine, who has become a secondary public figure alongside Iron Man, and he is used as the US militaries secret weapon.
Pepper Pots is seen at the start as the same as she always was: Tony’s lover/assistant. But when the house is destroyed, Tony orders the suit to encase her in order to keep her safe. Once she is out of harms way, he summons the suit back to him, and fights back the attacking helicopters. However, the suit did not have sufficient power to fly, and he falls into the sea along with the houses rubble. Trapped beneath it, Jarvis orders the arm of the suit to detach is itself, and grab onto Tony and pull him free. It then attaches again and Tony, now with enough power, flies from the water.
Later on in the film, Pepper is kidnapped by Killian and subjected to Extremis. Luckily, her body accepts it and she is granted superhuman abilities.
During the final battle, Tony and Rhodey (both suitless) board a giant ship that is holding the might of Killians army, aswell as the President, who is shown in the Iron Patriot armor, hanging helplessly between two of the ships towers. Tony realises that Killian was planning to publically execute him, and they race through the ship to save him. Soon, they are surrounded by the Extremis army, and Tony calls every one of his previously built suits to aid them in battle. As the battle ensues, Tony continuously enters suit from suit and fights off the Extremis while Rhodey saves the President and retrieves the Iron Patriot.
After Tony finds her on board, Pepper falls 200 feet into flames below, causing Tony to believe she was dead. In a rage Tony battles against Killian, who seems evenly matched.Later on in the fight, Pepper returns, completely healed, and kills Killian. Afterwards, she feels slightly disorientated and frightened of herself. This is the picture shown of her looking confused beside a burning wreck.
Well I hope that pretty much covers it
Enjoy
why would marvel allow a side character like Bethany Cabe to be the Wasp… why not just call her Janet van Dyne?
It’s possibly a codename to hide her true identity, before the big reveal.
well, its an actual character from ironman history, so we cant rule out that its actualy her
Or more plausibly because it’s NOT Wasp at all. Why would Marvel have her listed as Bethany Cabe when she’s not… I think SR is wishing too much into this. I don’t think Marvel would screw that much the origin of the Wasp, nor would they make another character become the Wasp instead of Janet Van Dyne.

If you look on wikipedia it says her character is “to be revealed” NO MENTION of Bethany Cabe so I dont know where that name came from but if they are holdig it so close to the vest that wiki is not allowed to reveal it I dont think SR can say who she is playing!
Either way THAT is a big enough secret to keep IT THAT QUIET she will be playing someone the fans are going to go NUTS about… I think all fans are expecting Janet Van Dyne (aka the wasp) HY ELSE would it be kept SOOO SECRET???
ok here you go, background on Cabe, and she does fit what we have seen in the story so far http://www.ironmanarmory.com/bios.html#cabe
It does fit for sure! but who is to say that IMDB is the end all be all? It could all be a ruse just to keep ppl guessing! I have no clue either way,it does fit the Cabe story line, But Marvel can be quite good at giving FALSE info to throw ppl off..
Thanks MANDO
Good info!
Sorry to burst your bubble, but it’s been on IMDB for weeks now…
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1300854/
IMDB listed her as “Bethany Cabe”, I don’t see why they would list her as the wrong character.
Wikipedia is not always the most reliable source
The beauty of anticipation!
’nuff said…
Rihanna should be the Wasp
…No
hmmm….very interesting choice.
No. Seriously… just no.
Just a thought, but how about instead of Rihanna to play the Wasp, how about we get an actress, that can actually act. Battleship?!?!? I mean come on.
She would definitely rock as Wasp! I’m on it.
these are the best movies ever but why can:t we watch them online?
+1
I think it’s safe to say that the guy swinging at the armor has superhuman strength due to the Extremis virus. There can’t really be any other explanation.
The Wasp thing is a little weird though. Just introduce her in Ant-Mans film. She shouldn’t be involved in this at all.
that could be Iron Fist… lol
That would be a bigger surprise than Fury showing up at the end of Iron Man 1
Wasn’t Cabe part-owner of a bodyguard service and somewhat of an ally to Stark and Rhodes? I just got done reading Demon In A Bottle again and she was a pretty prominent part of that story so maybe they’re setting her up as a big player similar to Hill and Fury (as in, we see them and recognise them but they don’t save the day so much as the main characters)?
I couldve seen olivia wilde as the wasp personally
Olivia Wilde or Kristen Kreuk maybe.
Kristen isnt an a-lister to put on the roster tho sadly. Tho if that chun li movie had anything to show is that she would be majorly out acted
Kristen Kreuk is an absolutely, stunningly , beautiful woman and quite a resourceful actress who just needs to given an opportunity in a role for a major movie. Olivia Wilde isn’t really an a-lister either though admittedly has a bigger profile. Then again she was once a television actress as well who was given her chance, so Kristen deserves hers as well.

You mean if there’s something left of him if he is the guy fist fighting with Iron Man?
Interesting….I like your thinking.
Was that the Hulk-Buster armor at the end of that trailer
more of a proto version, but we could see a specialized version built off it
If you watch the new trailer then watch the super bowl trailer you know air froce one blows up when tony goes to catch the people and with the new trailer you can see the presdint is about to go in to air force one so else the presdent is one of the people falling from the plane he most likely dead

Carrie Fisher could do the Wasp also
Dude, she’s close to 60 years old! Get real
I’m starting to think that Stephanie Szozak will NOT be The Wasp…
I think she will be related to the little kid that found Tony instead. As much as I want the Wasp to appear, it’s still a bit too early for her appearance, since Ant-Man is out in 2015. Beside, if her power came from Nanovirus, I’m sure if I’m going to like that idea… she needs to get her power from Hank Pym, that’s what I want to see.
I’m still thinking we’ll get an “Oh, this is Janet Van Dyne, she’ll guide you through it” line in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
SR makes us think she still might be with their analysis of the second trailer, but IMDB listed her as Bethany Cabe, a character from the Ironman comics that I’m not very familiar with, but who fits logically in the Extremis storyline. Janet Van Dyne has no connexion whatsoever with this storyline, so I highly doubt that it’s her.

“This is just a good, old-fashioned revenge.”
Hmm, wonder if someone’s going to die?
To have Wasp get her powers from some sort of medical procedure/extremis is nothing but HUGE fail in my book. She is supposed to be tied to Hank and his Pym particles which grant her her shrinking ability. To do otherwise would be ultra lame.
Ok, hopefully this turns out to be better than its predecessors. I mean Iron Man was good, Iron Man 2 was eh, and The Avengers was great. Now, this looks to be like a very good film.

Rooney Mara as Wasp would be cool

Or Hank Pym can be Yellow Jacket? I prefer Yellow Jacket, but that is just me.
First off with Pym, it goes ant-man, then Ant-man/Giant-man, then Goliath, then Goliath/Ant-man(finally can shrink again, adds attenaes), THEN Yellow jacket. Also we proably wont see QS or SW anytime soon, when they have the full rights to other characters they can use completely. Skrulls cant happen till FF returns to Marvel Studios. Kang is equally unlikely, because though he does first show up, he is highly involved with the FF and is a Descendent of(or possibly even due to time-space anomalies) Doctor Doom, so Marvel would only have limited use if any at all
You gotta keep in mind where the rights are
I like earths mightiest heroes to catch an antman episode. It would be a sick movie with both lang and pym and pym ends up as yellowjacket
He may not give her her own suit, but she does go into his Extremis armor (as hinted by CBM.com)
Great analysis. But what the hell? Isn’t anybody gonna talk about the Hulk-Buster armor? Did it really not get you guys excited? I know ScreenRant mentioned it in a previous post but that was just a rumor then. Its a subject that deserves an entire article to fully discuss. Os is that in the works?
Meh. Like Blank Panther ever getting a movie, its just not *that* important to everything else.
@Adarsh V: Aside from what we’ve discussed the armor’s presence meaning when the first concept art was leaked, and our time laying out the possible World War Hulk, and Planet Hulk adaptations, for right now there isn’t much to say.

Dude that’s what I was gonna say!? Nooooooobody cares about the hulkbuster armor?? It looked friggin awesome!!
For number 6, it looks like an Iron Legion Armour, Old school, maybe? Maybe that guy was practicing fighting and swung out his fist right when an Iron Legion armor flew by just in time for him to be safe… It would add comical parts to IM3
Robert Downey Jr is awesome

yeah we need to introduce those other characters as well definately. but it would be a surprise if they introduced Namor briefly without telling us
