This is extra amusing as the image of the iconic villain was taken from Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas, a comic written by director Jon Favreau specifically to tie into the movie.

Though to many this seemed to foreshadow Fin Fang Foom's arrival in the MCU, especially once a giant, flying mechanical alien creature showed up in the trailers for The Avengers, to date the character still remains physically absent from the franchise (and probably always will).
