We keep seeing images emerge from the set of Iron Man 3, but so far, details about the plot elude us. But aintitcool.com might have just received a description of the Iron Man 3 trailer from someone that's seen it. A first time contributor to the site outlined the circumstances under which he saw the material, so they're thinking it's highly probable that his information is accurate.

It opens with a voice over of Tony Stark talking about how the events of New York (I’m assuming the Avenger Movie) changed him, and how he’s just not “into it” anymore. First scene is Iron Man with battle damage, laying down amid rubble and taking of his faceplate to show a bleeding Stark. Scenes of him arguing with Pepper Potts in the armory (cool shots of alternative Iron Man suits including the red white and blue one we’ve seen on your site already), press conferences, Tony looking solemn, Tony talking with someone who looks like a psychiatrist, and a short shot of Don Cheadle in military uniform (no War Machine in the preview). Also one scene of who I presume is the Mandarin, forcefully landing and cracking the ground. However, it looked like a silver Iron Man. I was unable to tell in the brief view who it was (maybe due to unfinished CGI).
We then get a voice over from Ben Kingsley, talking about how there there are no heroes and how he will teach everyone, especially Stark, a lesson. This is over scenes of the alternative Suits getting blown up, Stark going into surgery, and a fleet of helicopters launching missiles which blow Stark’s home up and apart (the CGI looked nearly finished) and sending Stark and Pepper into the sea below. Then a close up of Kingsley with no helmet in the Mandarin armor.
It ends with Iron man underwater swimming towards what looks like his “heart reactor thing”. Then the logo, then stark walking in the snow dragging a large bag, then the logo again.
All and all, a somber trailer, dark and humorless, which seemed more in tone with The Dark Knight Rises than with any of the other Iron Man movies or the Avengers.
Sounds like Tony Stark is a changed man. And Tony going into surgery could be the earlier rumor that he will suffer an injury in which they inject him with a serum of nanotechnology. Supposedly, Iron Man 3 is based on the Extremis comic series.
I'm more curious as to what Stark is dragging in a large bag through the snow. We'll post more as more is released. Iron Man 3 is directed by Shane Black and is due in theaters May 2013.
