History WMG / IronMan3

* Exactly this happens in the [=IM3=] video game. He's a '''M'''echanized '''O'''rganism '''D'''esigned '''O'''nly for '''K'''illian and his consciousness takes over Stark Industries.

** During an adventure when she's older, she is transported into another universe... There, she finds true love with a monstrous clown and becomes known to the world as [[Characters/BatmanHarleyQuinn Harley Quinn]]!

The Mandarin Resurrected him and sent him on the path of revenge. Meaning that the One True Mandarin was the mastermind all along.

** During an adventure when she's older, she is transported into another universe... There, she finds true love with a monstrous clown and becomes known to the world as [[Characters/BatmanRoguesGalleryPart1 Harley Quinn]]!

It was him who came up with the idea of an Iron Patriot armor. Osborn is such a MagnificentBastard he'll, following [[spoiler:Zemo's example in [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar Civil War]],]] cause a lot of trouble in the future without wearing a Goblin costume or a Patriot armor. He'll still gain SuperStrength.

[[WMG: Ezekiel Stane will appear as either TheDragon or the BiggerBad]]

*** Knowing Coulson, though, he could still have a tattoo of Captain America :)

** [[spoiler: It's unclear whether she keeps her Extremis-based abilities or not, though it could've been made deliberately vague to serve as a potential plot hook for a future movie. If she doesn't keep her powers, she could still get a custom Iron Man suit (she does have one in the comics, under the codename of Rescue)... but if she keeps her Extremis powers, including the PlayingWithFire aspect, she could always become the MCU Firestar.]]

Back to Hulk. What is the main weapon Extremis users receive from their formula? Heat abilities. Who is the Hulk's hottest foe? ([[PlanetHulk No, not Caiera]].) ComicBook/RedHulk, who displays similar powers of extreme heat and strength. Might it be that Red Hulk may appear in a sequel, through a fusion of Hulk's formula and Extremis? And, on the mention of ''Planet Hulk'', might the plant origins of Banner's abilities be reason for why his blood causes plants to grow again on Sakaar, if Marvel Studios adapts a theatrical film of ''Planet Hulk''? One can theorize.

** During an adventure when she's older, she is transported into another universe... There, she finds true love with a monstrous clown and becomes known to the world as HarleyQuinn!

[[WMG: NormanOsborn is [[spoiler:Killian's]] "silent partner".]]

* Even better, he could become Tony's sidekick and the MCU version of [[YoungAvengers Iron Lad]].

* Guy Pearce is playing Dr. Aldrich Killian, who in the comic arc that the movie is based on [[spoiler:commits suicide early in the story]]. [[ActorAllusion It wouldn't be the first time]] that Creator/JeremyRenner showed up after Guy Pearce [[TheHurtLocker was suddenly killed]].

The Mandarin is mentioned to have been around [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld since the Middle Ages]], and in the comics is a descendant of Genghis Khan. If he really is that old, he could be...a much closer descendant.

[[WMG: The Mandarin has a stylized tattoo of CaptainAmerica's shield on the back of his neck because...]]

[[WMG: [[Film/TheAvengers Loki]] will make a cameo in Tony's nightmares]]

** [[spoiler:{{Jossed}}. Aside from several callbacks to [[Film/TheAvengers several]] [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse MCU]] [[Film/IronMan films]], this movie is pretty self-contained and doesn't really drop hints to Thanos, much less to future MCU movies.]]

[[WMG: More [[Film/TheAvengers Phase Two weaponry]] will be shown.]]
* For those unclear, Phase Two of S.H.I.E.L.D's plan in ''Film/TheAvengers'' was to develop weaponry to fight any potential invaders, like the Chitauri, or malevolent Asgardians like Loki. Stark is shown [[DualWielding wielding]] [[GunsAkimbo alien looking guns]] in the second trailer.

[[WMG: Tony Stark kicked alcoholism sometime between ''Film/TheAvengers'' and this movie]]
