'Iron Man 3' TV spot

The new 30-second TV ad for Iron Man 3 doesn’t tell us much new about the plot of the bleak-looking threequel. (Bleakquel?) But it does feature a particularly eye-popping extended shot of Tony Stark putting on his armor. Except, in his inimitable fashion, he actually appears to jump into his armor, from a very high place. Also: More of Ben Kingsley’s gonzo Mandarin accent! Watch the trailer:
