** As the troper who posted the original WMG, fair point about Sasha. Having seen the trailer and read a few film mags, it looks like I may have been right about the rest. The trailer shows Pepper restrained in a lab, which may be when she gets fitted with an arc reactor, and we're getting Firepower and at least one other villain in Iron Man-style armour. Can't wait. And yes, Ezekiel Stane appearing in it would make my day.

[[WMG: Rhodey saw action with the Mk II before he brought it to the military.]]
On his way to see Stark, Rhodes is clearly fielding calls from people desperate to have Iron Man back on duty. There is something out there. He leaves with the Mk II in order to deal with it himself. Bringing it to the military is an afterthought. It is "fully mission capable".

[[WMG: Raza, the Ten Rings leader from the first film, is the Mandarin's son.]]
In the first film, Raza is similar to the Mandarin in some notable ways; he speaks of Genghis Khan, who the Mandarin claims ancestry from, and how he wishes to rule Asia, and wears a rather ornate ring, that is either the same or similar to one of the rings worn by Mandarin himself in the trailer. These similarities are intentional, because Raza is going to be revealed to be the Mandarin's son, and the humiliating defeats Raza suffered in the first film, from both Tony Stark and Obadiah Stane, is why Mandarin is taking such an active role in avenging them. As to whether Raza himself will appear, I don't know, but if it turns out he IS Mandarin's son, then he probably will at some point.
[[WMG: Fin Fang Foom is going to appear.]]
The Cinematic Universe has proven they're willing to go along with the more fantastical elements of the Marvel universe, and Mandarin has a connection to him in the comics, so it's possible that he will appear in the film, perhaps serving as a BiggerBad to Mandarin, who doesn't appear to be as much of a fighter in this film. Since a big fight scene at the end between the hero and villain is necessary, it won't be Mandarin that Tony fights, but rather Fin Fang Foom. ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames may or may not be in effect though, regarding his name as "Fin Fang Foom" DOES sound a bit too hokey for the Cinematic Universe. He may only be referred to as "The Dragon" or maybe even "The Makluan", after his planet of origin. It'll be even more awesome if they manage to keep his role in the film a secret, and out of the trailers...or at least the first wave.

[[WMG: The Mandarin uses reverse-engineered Chitauri tech.]]
It'll be used as a stand-in for "tech taken from Fin Fang Foom".
[[WMG: Tony Stark will be framed by the Mandarin for serious crimes.]]
The Mandarin hacks into Stark's newest armor and goes on a rampage with it, killing and/or severely injuring several people. A manhunt goes out for Tony Stark, leading to the military blowing up his house as shown in the trailer. Tony is forced to go on the run and stop the Mandarin, without having access to his usual rescources.

[[WMG: Tony Stark can actually see the future]]
Confirmed in the "Newuniversal" continuity, so it may be possible in the 616 as well.
"Repulsor technology", "zero point generators", "micro transistorization" and "Neuro-memetic telepresence" are all technobabble smokescreens to cover up the fact that Stark is a telekinetic mutant who powers his armor with his own mind.

* Actually, this makes a lot more sense than you probably think. Both Tony Stark and Sherlock Holmes are innovative and inventive geniuses who easily understand the concepts of technology that is incredibly advanced for the time period they live in (Stark's {{Power Armor}} and the wireless device in Sherlock Holmes). Holmes's drug problems (eye surgery medicine used to be laced with Heroin) could have easily been a heretical problem which passed down and evolved into Tony's alcoholism. On top of it all, both of them, plus Howard Stark, were workaholics who needed to keep their mind busy in one form or another otherwise they went nuts. Add to that their shared {{Deadpan Snarker}} and {{Jerk with a Heart of Gold}} personalities as well as both having {{Heterosexual Life Partners}} (Holmes has Watson and Stark has Rhodey, respectively), a special pet (Gladstone and "Dummy"), That woman who is the one exception (Stark's never hit on Pepper and has yet to sleep with her, while Miss Adler is the only women/criminal to outsmart Holmes), and of course the fact that they [[RobertDowneyJr look alike]], makes it almost seem like this was intentionally planned from the start.

[[WMG: Tony Stark is actually a [[GirlGenius Heterodyne]].]]
It makes perfect sense! "The technology they need hasn't been invented yet"- "A strong Heterodyne will take about two hours to truly warp the laws of physics." Clearly, it's not that the tech hasn't been invented, it's just that they aren't Sparks. Howard Heterodyne's breakthrough device was actually a dimension warper. Everyone in Mechanicsburg thought it had killed him, when really, it just dumped him in the 1940s MarvelCinematicUniverse. He was probably still in the Madness Place when he first encountered people, and so said something unintelligeable including "Howard" and "Spark", which they misheard as "Stark", and assumed that was his name. He quickly realized that as the only Spark, he'd probably live a good bit longer there than back home. We've seen what the nursery looked like, it's no wonder he never went back. The reason he was less into the weapons than Tony is that he saw a chance to get away from all of it, so he could just invent stuff, be famous, rich, etc. Tony, on the other hand, didn't have the experience with the insanity of the Heterodyne family, so he didn't have any real reason to not make that stuff until the movie.

** In point of fact, real life grenade launcher shells won't detonate until they're past a set distance. If the Ex-Wife is ''really'' as powerful as Hammer says it is, it's probably similar in that it doesn't arm itself until it's a safe distance away from whoever fired it.

* There are Asgardians in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and they're nothing like those in Stargate at all...

[[WMG: Iron Man is actually set in the Stargate Universe]]
It happens back in the time of the Ancients, before they got all their awesome tech. The Arc reactor is a primitive ZPM. Think about it: small, cylindrical, energy source with phenomenal amounts of power stored inside. Tony will eventually make larger, yellow versions and return to the cylinder shape instead of the triangle.

* I feel really stupid for having put almost the same WMG on the WMG page for the overall MarvelCinematicUniverse without checking here first, though there is some minor differences in terminology (positing that the arc reactor was an attempt to reproduce the energy-generation with human technology rather than stating it as an attempt to build a new Cube, mostly - they have the Cosmic Cube, so strictly speaking they could just do what Hydra did but for non-military uses, but that has flaws). When one thinks about it, even the palladium-based arc reactor that Tony built after getting home could count as something greater, if only it was reproduced (that little thing seems to generate a lot of power for something that small), though of course Tony seems rather reluctant to do the sharing with the world bit.
