Iron Man 3 Holiday Greetings From Tony Stark

In all the commotion surrounding the holidays, it can be hard to keep focus on the really important things. For example, the momentary excitement over a Wii U could, for just a moment, make someone forget that there is a new Iron Man movie being released in less than five months.

Marvel knows this, and the studio sent out a special Christmas reminder this week via the Iron Man Facebook page. A new photo posted to the page features Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, standing in the snow and staring up at a “Happy Holidays” greeting. His arc reactor glows in the twilight as the snowflakes fall.

It’s unclear whether the photo is a still from the upcoming movie or simply a photoshopped teaser for fans. What is clear is that Iron Man 3 will kick off the summer 2013 movie season on May 3, complete with new director Shane Black and Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin.
