‘Iron Man 3’ Sneak Preview and Movie Stills Will Get Your Heart Racing (VIDEO)

The first sneak preview for Iron Man 3 is upon us, and it's about damn time. Considering that we've waited months for this 17-second montage of clips, it better be worth it. And it is. Robert Downey Jr. tones down his cocky gait as he exits the building, only to be swarmed like reporters and photographers who're out chasing some big scoop.

What it is, we can only guess--but we have a hunch that it has something to do with Gwyneth Paltrow aka Pepper Potts. Hit 'play' above to check out the teaser trailer for Iron Man 3, and stay tuned for the release of the official full trailer of the movie this Tuesday!

On a related note, Marvel also unveiled a couple of stills from the movie which you can check out in the gallery below. We definitely approve of Iron Man's Patriot suit design, but it looks like his XLVII is history as Pepper picks up the pieces.

Iron Man 3 hits theaters on May 3rd next year.
