Tony’s back! And so are his emotional scars. In Iron Man 3, the first film of Phase Two and the most Christmas-y Marvel movie in the Infinity Saga. We talk Iron Man's post-Avengers PTSD, his touching friendship with a snarky, small-town, Stark-esque kid, and Shane Black’s deft mix of quips and explosions. From a fireworks display of exploding suits to that Mandarin twist, we unpack the leaps Marvel took, the moments that did and did not pay off, and why Tony’s journey here might be his most human yet.
