20 Things You Didn’t Know About Iron Man 2
10. Every Use Of The Word "Russian" Was Cut From The Chinese Release
The MCU and Disney as a whole are certainly no strangers to editing their films for the fancies of international markets, in particular China, to the extent that they released an extended cut of Iron Man 3 in China complete with additional Chinese characters.
But for Iron Man 2, the peculiar decision was made to cut every audible instance of the word "Russian" - there are five, by the way - out of the movie.
This was never formally explained, though fans have theorised that it was to quell Chinese censors who didn't want to see their ally "disparaged" on screen.
Either way, it's weird as hell.
