"Iron Man 3" is a perfect fitting leadoff for the 2013 summer movie season: It's got flashy stars, Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow, large-scale effects, a third dimension and plenty of marking tie-ins.

Besides "Iron Man 3" be prepared for major movie follow ups: films like "Star Trek Into Darkness," "Monsters University," "The Hangover Part III," "Kick-Ass 2," and "Grown Ups 2." Marvel is set to bring back everyone's favorite bad boy hero Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in "The Wolverine." Also look out for family favorites "Despicable Me 2" and "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters."
