The first extended scene from is coming this Sunday exclusively at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, but you can get a snippet of the action ahead of time — that is, if fans band together online to power Tony Stark’s arc reactor.
Using the Twitter hashtag #UnlockIronMan, fans can fuel Tony’s power source at MTV.com, unlocking a sneak peek of the “Iron Man 3” extended scene that will premiere in its entirety during the Movie Awards at 9 p.m. Sunday. Iron Men (and Women) are encouraged to tweet as often as possible and check back regularly to see how quickly the reactor reaches full power, at which point MTV will unveil a snippet of footage from that exclusive scene.
“Iron Man 3” wraps up a trilogy of films starring Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, a billionaire industrialist whose search for a remedy for his ailing heart led to the construction of a superhuman suit of armor. In the latest film, which is set for release May 3, Stark finds his business and personal lives threatened by an unknown adversary with seemingly bottomless resources. As he fights to keep his company afloat and his friends safe, Stark must come to terms with what made him the hero he is today — the suit of armor he wears or the man inside it?
Meanwhile, Iron Man is but one of the heroes being honored at the MTV Movie Awards: “Marvel’s The Avengers,” featuring Stark and several of his superpowered colleagues, was nominated for Movie of the Year, and Iron Man himself is nominated alongside David Banner (Mark Ruffalo) for Best On-Screen Duo.
