Iron Man has the world 'blown out from underneath him' in the upcoming third instalment in the franchise.
Robert Downey Jr. famously portrays Tony Stark and his superhero alter ego Iron Man in the films.
The next release will hit screens in 2013 and sees the main character pitted against his most brutal enemy yet, The Mandarin who is portrayed by Sir Ben Kingsley.
Production President at Marvel Studios Kevin Feige has spoken about the new release. In ensemble movie Avengers Assemble, Iron Man teamed up with fellow superheroes such as Thor and Captain America and the upcoming release sees the character dealing with the fallout from that.
'When a portal is opened up in Manhattan and he's met Thor and The Hulk and the Chitauri [aliens] are coming down on him, he realises that he doesn't know everything; we think that has had an effect on his psyche, and then his world is blown out from underneath him,' Kevin told Empire magazine.
'Iron Man 3 doesn't feature any of the other Avengers, or Nick Fury showing up, or any of those world-blending conceits that the Phase One films had. You have to keep in mind that Iron Man 3 had been in the works for almost a year, year and a half before The Avengers was released.'
Kevin also discussed the speculation about the new armour Iron Man's ally Lt. Col James Rhodes will wear in the film. Don Cheadle is returning to play Rhodes/ War Machine but has a new look this time around.
'The notion in the movie is that a red, white and blue suit is a bold statement, and it's meant to be. With Rhodey, he's very much the foil to Tony's eccentricities, and in this one you get to see this and be reminded of the trust and friendship between them in that great Shane Black buddy-cop fashion,' Kevin said.
