I was holding off on posting those lovely character posters for
Iron Man 3 because I wanted to put them all in one post, with the presumption that Rebecca Hall would get her own poster as well. Alas, Hall is a no-go both for her own poster as well as even getting billing on the main IMAX poster. That is a bit odd as her character in "Extremis" is basically a co-lead while Guy Pearce's scientist um... it's a small part in the original comic book arc. I'll let others discuss the usual gender boilerplate here (expanding the guy's role while seemingly minimizing the female character's role, keeping the women on the poster to no more than one, etc.), and merely point out that this is basically a giant mash-up of several prior character posters smushed into one image, which may remind fans of the
Batman Forever poster campaign from 1995 (with the five character posters copied and pasted into the theatrical one-sheet). At least no one is unleashing exploding farts like
the last time around... Anyway, since they are apparently done for now, I'm including the rest of the solid
Iron Man 3 posters after the jump, including the general theatrical one-sheet.
Iron Man 3 opens overseas on April 25th and April 26th but not until May 3rd in America. As always, we'll see.
