Iron Man 3 Starts Production

Production is underway on writer/director Shane Black's Iron Man 3 in North Carolina. Comic Book.com says a few hours of filming have taken place at the Cape Fear Club in which extras were dressed in military uniforms and suits.

 The site talked with locals and their source involved with the production claims that the Mandarin
was definitely the villain. He said "Mandarin had a set of twins that did most of his dirty work for him." 

There is no word yet as to the accuracy of this report.

The story is based on the popular six-issue mini series "Extremis" by Warren Ellis--the film's events take place after The Avengers. The plot involves the spread of a virus through nanobots.


Robert Downey Jr. Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle,Jon Favreau Ben Kingsley Guy Pearce Rebecca Hall James Badge Dale Ashley Hamilton William Sadler  and Chinese superstar Andy Lau star.

Another of the site sources says that Chinese storefronts were being built at the local studio.

It seems that some of the film's action takes place in Miami. Vehicles with logos for the city of Miami and the Miami Police Department were seen being unloaded on one of the sets.
