Tony Stark and Pepper Potts are overwhelmed by the amount of promotions going on.

In conjunction with the release of one of this year's biggest blockbuster films on 26 April, movie fans are sure to notice big-name brands everywhere hosting contests and giveaways for "Marvel's Iron Man 3", taking advantage to be part of the popular Marvel saga including yours truly, Cinema Online!

Cinemas nationwide have already commence their advance sales of "Marvel's Iron Man 3", with tickets being swept up faster than hot cakes as everyone eagerly awaits if the movie will be able to supersede last year's "Marvel's The Avengers" which held the top spot at the local box office for more than 4 weeks. Just ask MBO Cinemas, which promises fans that there will be a new show starting every 15 minutes all day from 26 April onwards, just so fans will keep their Hulk-smash tendencies at bay and be able to catch the movie as soon as it opens!

Cinemas
Fans can win a "Marvel's Iron Man 3" diorama and figurine from Hasbro, books from Scholastic, apparel, as well as complimentary passes from Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC). Seems like the folks from GSC really do like Iron Man quite a bit as they based their new cinema opening at CityOne Megamall, Kuching around the Iron Man theme, having both Iron Man and Iron Patriot in full costume trotting around the launch ceremony to enthral the people of Kuching.
