ComicBook.com reports Marvel Studios has already put Iron Man 3 into pre-production, creating new sets and nicknaming the project “Caged Heat.” The Shane Black-helmed threequel is being handled in Wilmington, North Carolina, at Screen Gems Studios. Read an excerpt below from CB’s story.
Iron Man 3 is currently in pre-production under the code name “Caged Heat.” Comicbook.com has reporters on-site in Wilmington, North Carolina where Iron Man 3 is scheduled to film at EUE/Screen Gems Studios. We’re hearing reports that set construction has already begun. As far as filming, we’re still hearing the target for initial filming will be very early May (with a possibility of late April). Even though Iron Man 3 has been officially announced as filming in Wilmington, the code name “Caged Heat” is still being used by various sources in the local Wilmington film industry.
The foursome of Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, and Jon Faverau are all signed on to return, with new rumors having Scarlett Johansson reprising her role as the Black Window for the film. Iron Man 3 is due in theaters May 3, 2013. Better get a move on Shane!
