Three new Iron Man 3 photos have arrived, featuring Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce), and James Rhodes (Don Cheadle). Interesting to note about the last photo, Tony Stark is wearing an A.I.M. (Advanced Idea Mechanics) shirt. Take a look, and then read on for more information regarding the nefarious company A.I.M.

Back in June, we showed you a number of photos that were taken outside of what appeared to be the A.I.M. headquarters on the North Carolina set. In the Marvel comic books, A.I.M. is a division of HYDRA, which created the Cosmic Cube (a.k.a. Tesseract) that was seen in Marvel Phase I movies Captain America: The First Avenger and Marvel's The Avengers. It still isn't known how the company figures into the Iron Man 3 plot, but if Tony is wearing an A.I.M. shirt, it seems possible that the billionaire industrialist may be working for the company, in some capacity.
