Iron Man 3: 10 Things You Might Have Missed

1. Tony Stark Will Return

Iron Man While many people will have stuck around for after the credits, many will have missed this little line of text that will likely create more theorising than the Banner scene. In a James Bond-esque flourish, the words €˜Tony Stark Will Return€™ fill the screen. It€™s obviously important that it said Tony Stark, not Iron Man given the film€™s rather finalising conclusion, but it poses some interesting questions for the future of the franchise. Downy Jr.€™s contract with Marvel has expired, leaving a question above whether he€™ll return. The success of the character and the series are almost wholly down to him, so to leave now seems crazy, but viewed on a personal level it is a possibility. The bigger, more pleasing question is what role will Tony play in the future? It won€™t be difficult to come up with a plot development to get him back in the suit and we€™re bound to see the character head up The Avengers 2, if not eventually in Iron Man 4. Regardless, it€™s pretty cool that Tony Stark is now up there with James Bond, in so far as any mention of his return can send fans salivating. Are there any other moments hidden away in Iron Man 3? Let us know in the comments below.
