The first trailer for "Iron Man 3" is here ... and April 2013 can't come soon enough!

This is it!! The first look at Iron Man 3. The clip is packed with glimpses at some of the new additions to the Marvel movie universe, including shots of Sir Ben Kingsley as new bad guy, The Mandarin, and someone in the Iron Patriot suit.

And while Sir Ben will likely steal the movie, the most impressive part of the trailer is the massive destruction he causes to Tony Stark's gorgeous Malibu mansion.

The place gets blown away in the video, with the fates of Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) unknown. My guess: They're fine.

The trailer also makes sure to mention the events of "The Avengers," which apparently weigh heavily on Stark -- who says almost dying in the alien battle left him with bad nightmares and an inability to sleep.

And..this is just the beginning..Thor 2 is in production..I'll have more on that in a later blog...not stop reading and check out the trailer!!!
