All we get to see are helicopters, a damsel in distress and some broody looking men, all essential components of a successful action movie.

A plot synopsis from Marvel Studios reads: "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?"

Also featuring Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and Ben Kingsley, 'Iron Man 3' will be released on 3 May, 2013.
