Robert Downey Jr.

Fanboys please try and remain calm. On June 4th Marvel released the first official picture from the set of Iron Man 3. In the picture we can see Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, in his workshop surrounded by several different Iron Man suits. From Marvel.com:

"Following in the footsteps of the record-breaking Marvel Studios release “Marvel’s The Avengers,” production on the highly anticipated film “Iron Man 3,” directed by Shane Black, has commenced in Wilmington, North Carolina. The production schedule will also include locations in Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina; Miami, Florida; and China."

After the success of the first 2 Iron Man movies and the tremendous success of The Avengers, Marvel can't wait to get this newest version into the theaters. I can't wait to see how this one turns out. Robert Downey Jr. was the perfect actor to portray Tony Stark, not only does he look like him, but he also gets his whole persona across so well. The release date is set for May 3, 2013.

Samuel L. Jackson on "The Avengers" set

Samuel L. Jackson and fan

Not too long ago Samuel L. Jackson took a time out to pose for a picture with a fan on the set of The Avengers. Not only is he a great actor, but he also appears to be a pretty nice guy.

PICTURES: Check out more on The Avengers page.

We have more pictures from the set in the gallery, be sure to take a look around and see what Director Joss Whedon has in store for you. With an estimated $220 million budget I'm sure the special effects will be out of this World and pretty constant. Fresh off of it's Hollywood premier a few days ago, the official US release date is set for May 4. But for many countries around the World, The Avengers will be released almost a week earlier. So yeah, we are a little jealous of you right now.

Also seen on set were Joss Whedon, Robert Downey Jr., Jeremy Renner, Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo.

Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr. is seen walking on the set of his new movie Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London on Saturday (September 24). Robert was also spotted on the set of The Avengers a few weeks ago (pics here). What a busy guy!

Speaking of The Avengers, Robert was fiddling with his Iron Man costume on set and accidentally hit Scarlett Johansson! A source told the National Enquirer:

"It suddenly jerked backward and whacked poor Scarlett. Knocked silly, she staggered backward, then lost her balance and fell off the low platform they were standing on. Robert, who couldn't help because he literally can't move in that iron suit, was beside himself – he kept apologizing. Scarlett smiled about the incident."

Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo on the set of "The Avengers"

Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo

Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo are seen filming The Avengers in New York over the weekend (September 3). Check out the custom "Stark 33" license plate on Tony Stark's car. Love it!

Robert was spotted on set with Chris Evans on Friday - check out the pics here.

You may have heard that Daryl Hannah was arrested last week in front of the White House during a protest against the proposed 1,700 mile long Keystone oil pipeline from Canada to Texas. Ruffalo has come to her defense. In a video on the Tar Sands Action's website, he says:

"Up north where the tar sands are located, native people's homelands have already been wrecked. All that new oil will worsen global warming. It's time for us to get off fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are over."

Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans on set

Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans

Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans are spotted on the set of The Avengers at Bethesda Fountain in New York last Friday (September 2). Chris plays Captain America in the film and of course Robert plays Mr. Iron Man himself, Tony Stark.

Also spotted on set was Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston - check out some pics in the gallery. And don't miss The Avengers page for more pics from set.

Speaking of Hiddleston, he told MTV last week that the fight scenes in the film are going to be "breathtaking":

"It's so fun and so hard. I have had so many fights in this but it's going to be breathtaking. The action in this film is going to be breathtaking. The stunt team is the greatest in the world, everyone's really dialed in. That's part of the reason you go to see Avengers. You go to see what happens when all these superheroes go toe-to-toe. When half the people in the film can fly, you know it's going to be incredible. The challenge is to make it dynamic and quick and athletic, but also I'm wearing 40 pounds of leather and metal."

Robert Downey Jr. on the set of "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows"

Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr. is spotted on the set of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows in Strasbourg, France. Pics are a bit old (from Feb. 5 - I didn't find them until today) but I thought you'd still enjoy. Rachel McAdams also makes a surprise cameo in the film (pics here).

Game of Shadows commences several months after the events of the first film and will involve Holmes (Downey) and Watson (Jude Law) hunting for the dangerous and ever-elusive Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris) from London to Paris to Germany to the Swiss Alps.

Can't wait!
