Hulkbuster armor

Around two weeks ago, Comicbook.com was first to report on Hulkbuster armor in Iron Man 3. What we heard was that what looks to be Hulkbuster armor appears to be under construction among the numerous Iron Man armors shown in Iron Man 3. While we classified the report as rumor at the time, there has now been other information to surface which seems to support our original report. First, Comicbookmovie.com was sent some Iron Man 3 concept art which included Hulkbuster armor. Of course, fake concept art surfaces all the time on the Internet, but here's where it gets interesting. The Hulkbuster armor concept art has since been removed at the request of the copyright owner. Usually, the removal requests only happen if the concept art is real. Now, Bleeding Cool is reporting that they received an early description of an upcoming Iron Man 3 trailer. Their report matches up with a previous report on Comicbook.com that a new Iron Man 3 trailer will be released with Disney's Oz The Great And Powerful, even though they fail to cite a source as to where they received this information. In Bleeding Cool's description, they note that the trailer ends with what looks to be Hulkbuster armor bursting through a wall. If Tony Stark actually wears Hulkbuster armor in Iron Man 3 is something we haven't heard, but it's always possible. It could also be what looks like Hulkbuster armor might be the Heartbreaker armor, which is supposed to be armor in the movie made up of pieces of previous designs. Other scenes reportedly in the trailer include the President of the United States declaring war on Ten Rings, more shots of The Mandarin, Tony Stark issuing a threat to The Mandarin, and Tony and Rhodey leading a fleet of Iron Man armors into battle. Some of the things that Comicbook.com observed during filming of Iron Man 3 in Wilmington, NC support that it's very possible that all of the scenes described occur in Iron Man 3, so it will be interesting to see if they are all in the trailer.
