Iron Man 3 is an American action film and the next film in the Avengers Cinematic Universe. It is directed by Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) and stars British Ben Kingsley as the film primary antagonist. Filmed by Marvel Studios and distributed by its parent company Disney, Iron Man 3 is set for a large world wide release and heavy marketing. Through websites like youtube and itunes, Marvel have released popular trailers. Vertical Intergration is primarily used as Disney uses its theme parks and toy subsidiaries to promote the film. Marvel (owned by Disney) also published tie in comics to promote the film and Iron Man 3 advertisements appear on the front cover of every current run of comics. This is beneficial for Disney, because they can bring together the companies they own and apply convergence to their advertising campaign. The film is being released in 3D and Imax to try and pull in as much profit as possible. Disney's last Marvel earned a record breaking $1.5 billion at the box office and they are trying to achieve similar numbers.
