Japanese Iron Man 3 trailer features extra footage: watch now

Iron Man 3 fans hungry for new footage can breathe a small sigh of relief, as a new Japanese trailer has hit the net.

It only clocks in at one minute long, but there’s enough new snippets in there to sate appetites.

After opening with an Avengers Assemble reminder, the trailer focuses largely on the Mandarin’s attack on Tony Stark’s Malibu beach pad.

It’s Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) who bear the brunt of the new footage, with further evidence that the threequel will hinge on their relationship.

The Mandarin’s (Ben Kingsley) largely absent from proceedings, save for a snippet of his voiceover spiel about heroes.

Check out the new video below:

Iron Man 3 opens in the UK on 26 April 2013.
