"Iron Man 3 will feature the Iron Patriot, a source has claimed. The villain was previously rumoured to appear in the third Robert Downey Jr outing, but the report was later denied.   Marvel Characters Inc has made new trademark applications on a variety of goods and services for Iron Patriot, as well as the Avengers Initiative, reports ComicBook.com. It is considered unusual for Marvel to trademark such a specific character without some particular purpose in mind. It was previously claimed that the photographs of an actor dressed in the distinctive Iron Patriot armour were simply of a redesigned Don Cheadle&amp;#039;s War Machine. The central villain of the film remains uncertain. Guy Pearce - who will appear as Aldrich Killian - recently revealed that, contrary to previous assumptions, his role is closer to being a &amp;quot;cameo&amp;quot; than one of the central cast. Marvel Studios&amp;#039; Iron Man 3 will debut on April 26, 2013 in the UK and May 3, 2013 in the US. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
