IRON MAN 3 Now Confirmed For Even Earlier UK Release

We already knew that Iron Man 3 would open in the US slightly earlier than in North America, but Disney has now confirmed an even earlier release date for the highly anticipated Marvel Studios threequel in the UK. Read on for details!

By Josh Wilding - 3/5/2013
While it was initially reported that Iron Man 3 would be released on April 27th in the UK, and later on the 26th, Disney has now confirmed that UK comic book fans will be able to see the film on Thursday, April 25th. Booking is already open on many UK cinema websites to see the film in IMAX 3D, with many seats having already sold just hours after going on sale. The film is still set to be released in North America on May 4th. The UK version of the latest trailer can also be seen below.







Marvel Studios’ 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?


STARRING:

Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man
Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin
Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts
Don Cheadle as Rhodey/War Machine
Guy Pearce as Aldrich Killian
Rebecca Hall as Dr. Maya Hansen
Ashley Hamilton as Jack Taggert
James Badge Dale as Eric Savin
Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan

RELEASE DATE: May 3rd, 2013.

This is bullshit!
Everything should come out

oh [frick] off marvel. this shit is getting stupid as [frick], more people are gonna download camrips instead.
TheAbomination - 3/5/2013, 11:03 AM
Ain't that a bitch? Why does Marvel always release their movies overseas a week before they release them here in the States. Why not just do like they did with Avatar and release the damn thing on the same date everywhere?
GizmoEl - 3/5/2013, 11:07 AM
Cause they know its gonna be really good and create a lot of buzz for the American release. That's what happened with avengers.
Gusto - 3/5/2013, 11:08 AM
It's some kinda pinko commie ploy!!!
Gusto - 3/5/2013, 11:10 AM

America invented Jesus, The Sun, karate, cute little puppies in sweaters and porn valley!
Gmoney84 - 3/5/2013, 11:10 AM
Well, they did this with Avengers and it made a strong amount of money. No surprises here.
FOOM - 3/5/2013, 11:11 AM
Holy crap! When I was a kid it took about a year after the US release date for some movies to hit UK shores. All a part of the marketing machine now and the studios always design it to max out profits.

Still, I'm lucky to have remained willfully blissfully unaware of what IM3 is all about having avoided virtually every IRM3 thread and image CBM has thrown up in over the months. Same goes for ST2.
Holy crap I hate knowing too much before hitting the box office.
Gmoney84 - 3/5/2013, 11:11 AM
Gusto, don't you live in porn valley a.k.a. Tea's butt crack??
Battabing - 3/5/2013, 11:12 AM
So, it'll be pirated before it gets to the States.
Guess I'll get my copy at the good ol' neighborhood barbershop.
Fogs - 3/5/2013, 11:14 AM
Jeez, here comes the bitching again...

Let me put this straight: many overseas countries' audiences will NOT watch a movie if it's ripped and online before the launch.

That's not true to the US, you'll watch it anyway (and the grossing is always higher in US than anywhere else). They'll release in other countries first so people will watch it in theaters.
Gusto - 3/5/2013, 11:18 AM

Gmoney...the crime rate in that neighborhood's way too high. It's a 100% rape zone.

Pogues Rule!!!
ACira - 3/5/2013, 12:52 PM
Releasing it later in America (their biggest audience) means that they generate more interest from Americans. I mean, just look at all of you getting pissed that you have to wait longer - it makes it more likely that American cinemas will start selling out Iron Man 3 screenings, because everyone will want to see it as soon as possible, especially if others around the world already saw it days before.
FOOM - 3/5/2013, 12:56 PM
@Gusto

'First I drank the whiskey, then I drunk the gin, I tried to make the toilet but I broke my f*cken shin!'

We might as well get used to the fact that this will be a ritual. Except for CAPTAIN AMERICA.
