Partly set in China the film is rumoured to be based on the Extremis storyline from Vol. 4 of the Iron Man comics and will feature Guy Pearce on baddie duties as crazed genetecist Dr Aldrich Killian and Ben Kingsley as his silent partner The Mandarin.

But when he loses his funding the scientist goes rogue to test his creation...

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.
