Tony Stark shows off his toys in new 'Iron Man 3' featurette and comic art posters



Like all of the Marvel films, Iron Man 3 is a cross-promotional powerhouse, and considering Tony Stark's love of flashy toys, it's no surprise that Audi has been one of the biggest sponsors since the beginning. With the superhero film right around the corner, Audi has revealed via Your Car News a featurette via  on their sleek new R8 e-tron, which will feature in the May 3rd release. Mostly it contains behind-the-scenes footage of the shoot, along with various folks talking about how Stark's stylish cars are as much a part of him as his many armors.

Because if there's anything fanboys love more than superheroes, it's pizza, Marvel has also teamed up with Red Baron to produce some cool posters drawn by some of comics' best artists.  You can enter to win one of these limited edition posters simply by going here. John Tyler Christopher drew the Mark XLII armor; the Iron Patriot armor is by Jorge Molina; the awesome "Hulkbuster" Igor Mark XXXVIII armor is by the legendary Ron Lim; the Heartbreaker Mark XVII armor by Andrea Di Vito; and the orbital Starboost armor by Mike Perkins. It's the last one that many expect Stark will be wearing if he heads into space to hang out with the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Iron Man 3 is directed by Shane Black and stars Robert Downey Jr., Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Ben Kingsley, James Badge Dale, Wang Xueqi, Stephanie Szostak, and Jon Favreau.
