CoF Presents: Superheroes of 2013

The onslaught of superhero and comic book movie adaptations over the years isn’t slowing down any time soon, and 2013 is proof of this.  Some of these movies rank high on must see lists; others might be left in the dust.  Whether you’re going to stream superhero movies or check them out in theaters, there will be a lot of options waiting for you.

A superhero is a type of character possessing “extraordinary or superhuman powers” and is dedicated to protecting the public. That’s how I got away with including some questionable “superhero” movies here folks. That’s why I wear a bow tie.

Find out what’s coming out and when. Let us know what movie you’re most excited for:

New Trailer for IRON MAN 3, or Gandhi’s Revenge

The new trailer for Iron Man 3 isn’t as dark as the last trailer; instead it goes heavy on the action.  Writer-director Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) might also be trying to give more depth to the character of Tony Stark after so many films.  He has witness a lot, and after all, is still a man.  The film stars Robert Downey Jr., Ben Kingsley, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, and Rebecca Hall.

Iron Man 3 opens May 3rd, watch the trailer below.

FYI: Including the bonus pre-credits scene in The Incredible Hulk, this will be Downey’s fifth portrayal of Tony Stark/Iron Man.

IRON MAN 3 Trailer

Here is the first trailer for director Shane Black’s Iron Man 3 with a more subdued Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) following the events of The Avengers.

Marvel Studios’ Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?

The film stars also stars Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Ashley Hamilton, Jon Favreau and James Badge Dale.

Iron Man 3 opens on May 3rd, 2013.

Trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion

Here is the trailer for Steven Soderberbergh‘s Contagion, the film stars Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Marion Cotillard, Laurence Fishburne and Sanaa Lathan.  I can’t say I expected this kind of thriller from Soderbergh, but I’ll take it.

Contagion follows the rapid progress of a lethal airborne virus that kills within days. As the fast-moving epidemic grows, the worldwide medical community races to find a cure and control the panic that spreads faster than the virus itself. At the same time, ordinary people struggle to survive in a society coming apart.

Contagion opens on September 9, in IMAX too.
