'Iron Man 3' doesn't hit theaters until May 3, 2013 and filming is still underway but could we be close to seeing the first trailer for the film? Marvel is apparently testing a new 'Iron Man 3' trailer and we've got a report on what you can expect from the first footage.

Much like movies themselves, movie trailers are shown to test audiences who are given a questionnaire afterward asking them all sorts of questions about what they saw. A lucky fan was asked to participate and shared a description on what he saw with Ain't It Cool.

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).

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.

The footage described above matches some of what we saw at Comic-Con 2012 and it's interesting to see that they're selling this movie with a darker tone than 'The Avengers.' No word on when the 'Iron Man 3' trailer will hit theaters or what it will be attached to (maybe on 'The Avengers' DVD and Blu-ray?) but stay tuned for further developments.
