Marvel's Avengers Trailer Breakdown - 12 Things Everyone Totally Missed
5. Could Iron Man's New Suit Be Based On Model 50?
Square Enix
In one of the more impressive snippets of gameplay Square showed off, we got to see Iron Man in space trying to control a space station that appears to be falling apart. He's outfitted in a snazzy-looking white and gold armour, that should at least confirm that multiple suits will be made available to players over the course of the game.
However, to be slightly more Frinkish, there's a neat detail to go along with this particular armour. It actually looks as though it's based on Tony's Model 50 armour from the comics, which he actually used while trying to capitalise on the San Fransisco economy.

That might be a coincidence, and it's even more unlikely that this particular armour will pool inspiration from the symbiote-based science Tony used in the comics, but it's a neat detail all the same. Here's hoping there'll be more armour - and hopefully War Machine - to come.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
