Marvel Studios has announced the official start of production on "Iron Man 3" and released the first image from the set.
Starring Robert Downey Jr. and directed by Shane Black, the threequel has commenced production in Wilmington, North Carolina. Additional locations are set to include Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina, Miami, Florida and China.
As previously announced, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and Jon Favreau will reprise their franchise roles alongside Downey. New cast members include Ben Kingsley, Rebecca Hall and Guy Pearce.
But you won't see any of them in the on set photo. It's simply a look at Downey's back as he faces a full line-up of Tony Stark's Iron Man suits.
We won't get answers to our real questions -- What impact will "The Avengers" have on a new Iron Man adventure? How will new director Black shake up the series? -- until next summer.
"Iron Man 3" opens May 3, 2013.

June 4, 2012 at 7:35PM EST Reply to CommentI love the line up of suits in the background. Iron Man 2 did disappoint me a little bit, but that was in no way the fault of Robert Downy Jr. At the very least Tony Stark will be fun to watch. This movie better step it up because it will have a lot to compete with when the time comes. This is the summer of Superheroes after all.
