One What If? Scenario For Each Marvel Film
21. Iron Man 2
What If Pepper Fought Tony In The Spare Suit?
Iron Man 2 has quite the overstuffed plot. It features Tony's poisoning, his and Pepper's relationship, introducing War Machine and Black Widow as well as balancing two villains.
Because of this Iron Man 2 has a significantly lower amount of fans compared to some other MCU films. But one scene that most people can agree on being pretty great, is the fight between Tony and Rhodey.
But if Rhodey wasn't present for some reason, it would be really cool to see an alternate scenario where Pepper decides to suit up to try stop Tony from going to far with his party, eventually leading to a similar brawl. Now we have a film that no longer introduces War Machine as a new hero, but instead sets the stage for an early introduction of Rescue.
This slight twist would be another great way to show how such a little change would affect the wider MCU. The events of Iron Man 3 for instance would be widely different.
