In a new behind-the-scenes clip, Robert Downey Jr., Marvel’s Kevin Feige, and Iron Man 3 director Shane Black discuss Tony Stark's obsession with building up an artillery of Iron Man suits.
“At the beginning of this movie there are 42 suits,” says Black in the one-and-a-half-minute featurette. “He’s been doing nothing but building suits and suits and suits and suits. It’s an obsession.” adds Feige. The film’s suit construction supervisor, Lindsay MacGowan (the real genius behind Stark’s well-armoured wardrobe), shows off the first seven Iron Man getups and Downey introduces the new bomb disposal suit as well as the pinnacle of his character’s life’s work, the Mark 42 (controlled by sub-dermal implants with more advanced technological capabilities than the kind favoured by today’s body modification enthusiasts).
