Avengers: Infinity War - 14 Plot Hints You Might Have Missed

14. Tony Stark Might Lose His Hand

If you look back at the Super Bowl trailer for Infinity War, you'll notice a shot where Tony Stark's (Robert Downey Jr.) armour appears to form around his body, prompting speculation that he will be using some version of the iconic Bleeding Edge armour from the comics.

However, many eagle-eyed fans also noticed the peculiar size of Stark's hand, which seemed to suggest that the armour wasn't growing around Stark's hand, but rather growing in place of it. Simply, Tony Stark may well lose a hand early on in the movie.

This being a Disney film, there's plenty of precedent for it, of course, and even in the MCU itself, characters losing a hand has been an extremely common occurrence. Honestly, at this point it'd be more surprising if someone doesn't lose their hand.
