10 Easter Eggs You Didn't Notice In Marvel Phase 2

9. Robert Downey Jr's Hand & Foot Print - Iron Man 3

Here's an easter egg you'll need the eyes of a hawk to catch. Early on in the movie, Extremis soldier Jack Taggart heads to the famed Chinese Theatre to meet Eric Savin and obtain more of the Extremis serum. However, Happy Hogan ends up interrupting Taggart, causing him to drop his case, right on top of a very special concrete block that's in partial, clear shot for a split second (albeit extremely zoomed in, as pictured above). You see, that very block is the one that Robert Downey Jr., Iron Man himself, used to immortalise his hand and footprints forever more at the real L.A. TCL Chinese Theatre in December 2009. You'd probably need prior knowledge of the Chinese Theatre and Downey's relation to it to get this one, so give yourself an extra hard pat on the back if you somehow caught it. And if you didn't, pretend that you did and amaze your friends with it the next time you watch Iron Man 3.
