Pepper Pott's to the Rescue

A new Ironman 3 international TV spot showed up online with what some may consider a spoiler. The new spot entitled "Save" doesn't appear to show any new material except for one small clip with Pepper Potts wearing the Iron Man armor. (I'm gonna let that sink in for a moment.)

Yes, Pepper Potts will be showing up in the suit and I can't say that I didn't see it coming. We actually saw this in other trailers but we actually never got to see who was in the suit. What we did see was Tony Stark on the floor as his mansion was in shambles with the suit kneeling over him and no idea of who was inside. We were led to believe that with the mansion destroyed that someone may have hijacked the armor but that is not the case at all.




Even in the posters that were released we get one of Pepper holding Tony's helmet and I got two feelings from this poster; one, as if something bad had happened to Tony and two, desperation. Desperation that would lead her down a path to put on the suit.

There's no doubt in my mind that this is just another nod to our inner fan boys and fan girls as we've already seen the Hulkbuster armor. While we do see Pepper in the Iron Man suit what does remain to be seen is if she will actually get her own and finally become Rescue?

Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?

Iron Man 3 is set to release on April 26th.


-Nurd!
