Iron Man
Avengers Infinity War hits theatres on 4 May, 2018 Marvel/Facebook

Amid much anticipation, a teaser video for the upcoming Marvel superhero flick – Avengers: Infinity War, was released during the second half of Sunday's Super Bowl. And if the brand new footage is any indication, Iron Man is up for some serious upgrade when it comes to his high-tech suit.

Instead of his previous bulky costumes or the self-foldable suits, the team Avenger member was seen flaunting some cutting-edge technology for his superhero avatar. In fact, in one of the scenes, the costume seems to build around Tony Stark's neck while he marches ahead, taking off his shades.
