“Let’s face it—this is not the worst<br />
thing you’ve caught me doing.”<br />
—Tony Stark to Pepper Potts<br />
Iron Man (2008)<br />

How did The Avengers raise the bar as far as<br />
action sequences for Iron Man 3?<br />
There’s people who are, strangely, smarter than<br />
me making these decisions, I’m told. The funny<br />
thing is, Iron Man 3 is simultaneously a much<br />
smaller storytelling style, but it also feels that way<br />
personally. I’m not on the mountaintop with Thor<br />
and Loki in Cleveland—I mean New York—with<br />
Cap and Black Widow and Hawkeye and all that.<br />
I’m in every second of every action scene in this<br />
movie. I’ve never done so much action in my life.<br />
The scope feels really, really big. I think Marvel’s<br />
intention is to defy expectations again.<br />

Did you have any trepidation about coming<br />
back to this character for the fourth time?<br />
I was kinda looking forward to it. I don’t want<br />
to say “kinda.” That’s tepid. You know that thing<br />
of it’s spring break or summer or winter and you<br />
have these plans? You want to go to Sedona, right?<br />
This is, to me, the kind of grab-bag wish list of<br />
things we’ve always wanted to do and haven’t had<br />
the chance. I put so much onus on Iron Man 3.<br />
Iron Man 3 was supposed to answer all the questions<br />
for the audience, cure all my uncomfortable<br />
moments in the past playing this character, and<br />
get in every idea that fell by the wayside in the last<br />
three movies. Then we shot the movie, and I feel<br />
like there’s still a number of other things we have<br />
to do.<br />
