IRON MAN 3

While following up on a lead, Happy is caught in a blast when one of the Mandarin’s “terrorists” explodes after being provided with a new case of Extremis by Savin.

Certain scenes and wide shots were filmed at the actual Chinese theater in Hollywood, while additional sequences at this landmark were filmed at The National Gypsum in Wilmington, SC (configured as a soundstage) to portray the Extremis explosion.
