Iron Man 3 films action scenes around iconic Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles

Marvel’s superhero sequel Iron Man 3 has filmed action scenes around the TCL (formerly Grauman’s) Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. Shooting took place over one night earlier this week.

Writing on its Facebook page ahead of the shoot, the Hollywood Orchid Suites said: “Film crews plan to shoot wide-angled shots from cranes positioned high overhead ‘to capture the full scope, colour and liveliness of Hollywood’, while they ‘blow up’ Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.

“There will be flashes of light, debris being propelled out of the courtyard towards the street and about 30 cars driving by with obligatory fender benders (minor collisions).”

Iron Man 3 filmed mainly in North Carolina last year, basing itself at the EUE/Screen Gems Studios in Wilmington.
