Welcome back everyone is Charlie this is going to be my new marvel infinity saga
re-watch video for Iron Man 2 we're rewatching all the MCU movies
pointing out all the big Marvel phase 4 Easter eggs and details that we missed
the first time we watched them if you're new to the channel be sure to subscribe
to get all the videos we're doing that special infinity saga box set giveaways
as part of this all you have to do to enter is be a subscriber and rank the
Iron Man movies from your most favorite to least favorite so careful for
spoilers from all the Marvel movies so far because we'll be talking about all
the Easter eggs and connections between this Avengers end game and the upcoming
Marvel phase 4 movies all number of these as we go along just to keep things
organized so starting at the beginning of the movie we start from the
perspective of the villain Ivan Vanko aka whiplash in Russia watching the
ending scene of the first Iron Man movie alive as it's happening we get our back
story on how whiplashes father was a one-time colleague of iron man's father
Howard Stark helping him create the now famous arc reactor technology but being
branded a thief and a spy exile to disgrace back to Russia as a criminal
the movie is all about legacy so they start with whiplash and his father all I
can give you is my knowledge so obviously that theme would be continued
between Howard Stark and his son Tony Stark then between Iron Man and
spider-man in the MCU up to Spider Man far from home when Spiderman would have
to defend Tony's legacy from usurpers like Mysterio the next Tony Stark I
trust you say edith whiplashes father dies he vows to avenge remember that
word avenge his father's death tearing down everything that Iron Man is using
his own arc reactor technology the big montage of him creating his new weapons
is meant to be a shot-for-shot copy of the original montage of Iron Man in the
cave creating his Mark 1 suit the theme continues through the movie because
whiplash starts out with that beta version of his armor like Iron Man's
mark 1 then by the end of the movie he's upgraded his armor to something more
akin to the traditional Crimson Dynamo suit from the comics like Iron Man
upgrading from his mark 4 to mark 5 and then mark 6 whiplash in this movie
played by Mickey Rourke is a bit of a combination of a couple characters
Crimson Dynamo in the comic book whiplash were actually going back to
Russia in the black movie but that's it during the 90s
hopefully we'll see more Easter eggs and references to other Russian Marvel
characters it's implied that whiplash dies at the end of this movie so I don't
expect Mickey Rourke's character to come back but they might reference Crimson
Dynamo or whiplash during the Black Widow movie there's a bunch of newspaper
clippings and references to earlier MCU events here there's an article about
Iron Man's stabilizing relations between the US and Russia written by Rob down
aka Robert Downey jr. they have their big intro scene with the ACDC shoot to
thrill call back to the first Iron Man movie ac/dc kind of became his theme
music in the MCU there was a real big deleted scene of him opening the movie
like this it had him booting in the toilet while he was wearing his mark for
armor then jumps out after Pepper Potts kisses the helmet and throws it at the
back of the plane you may remember part of that scene from the original trailer
the reason why they got rid of it is because during that version they hyped
up way more of his alcoholism and drinking problems as part of the demon
in a bottle adaptation of the movie I think that Marvel just didn't want to
get that dark with it and they already had the Palladium poisoning storyline
and used that as their demon and a bottle of style story the source of Iron
Man's strength his legacy was literally poisoning him to death when he lands in
the armor comes off he says it's good to be back
referencing the sequel celebrating the success of the first movie the critical
and financial success he brings back his father's stark Expo in Queens New York
which we later see them referenced during the flashbacks at the beginning
of spider-man homecoming in Peters short film set prior to the events of the
airport battle in Captain America Civil War there's a lot of Spider Man Easter
eggs during the movie as spider-man lives in Queens or lived in Queens when
the stark Expo was happening and he was around for all this we get the intro
scene featuring John Slattery as older Howard Stark for the first time this is
meant to be a big Walt Disney Easter Egg for the broadcast that he would do
talking about Epcot Center and Disneyland introducing new programs when
they got to the Captain America movie and we went even further back in the
timeline we saw the original version of the stark Expo back during the 1940s
with a younger Dominic Cooper version of Howard Stark there's a lot of Howard
Stark Walt Disney Ironman references during this movie this was around the
time that Disney bought Marvel and brought them into the
so that's why you started to see so many Disney Easter eggs in these movies I'm
also kind of hoping in real life because they just officially canceled Comic Con
this summer Kevin Feige we'll just do a full-blown Walt Disney broadcast like
this revealing all these Marvel phase for details and trailers and drop it
this summer one of the other really big Walt Disney Easter eggs is at the end of
the film they actually play his carousel a progress theme song they said at the
movie version of his demon in a bottle story lion when he starts looking at his
poison levels while standing in front of the Howard Stark clips which would later
provide him with a solution to his problem in that new element this is a
string of celebrity cameos starting with Olivia Munn who got her start as a host
on g4 she's playing chess roberts a reporter for WHIH that news station
that shows up all over the Marvel films you all probably recognize Larry Ellison
he just playing himself during the movie Stan Lee his cameo scene is him as Larry
King Seth Green and his wife show up in the back of an elevator we get a big
Fantastic Four crossover moment Fantastic Four actress kate mara cameos
as a court worker giving him his summons to appear before the Senate committee
which itself is another Howard Hughes reference Stan Lee said the real-life
Howard Hughes was the inspiration for the original comic book Iron Man when he
created him but Iron Man 2 makes that reference more literal when he has to
testify in front of Congress defending his business practices just like real
life Howard Hughes did back in the day and we all talk about Spider Man cameo
scenes the little kid in the Iron Man mask shows up at the beginning here to
Iron Man Pat's him on the head it's the same little kid and the Iron Man mask
that he saves later in the movie famously Tom Holland when they were
promoting spider-man homecoming said that this was Peter Parker Kevin Feige
later confirmed the easter egg as official MCU canon so we'll call this -
spider-man cameo scenes during Iron Man 2 in the movie though the actor
underneath this mask was Jon Favreau's son from real life when he faces the
Senate committee the committee is led by Garry Shandling senator Stern who would
later reappear and be revealed as an agent of Hydra in Winter Soldier we meet
our Iron Man comic book villain Justin Hammer who's something of another
Salieri to Iron Man's Mozart in the movie just like Obadiah Stane from the
first Iron Man movie right now Justin Hammer is still currently
live in the MCU being held at cj prison he later guest-starred in Iron Man 3
one-shot movie all hail the king and they referenced his hammer tech during
the Marvel Netflix Luke Cage series they could totally bring back Justin Hammer
or hammer tech as part of a Thunderbolts Disney Plus series when Justin Hammer is
trying to give Tony the business in front of the Senate committee he
references shield and sword - really big Marvel phase four Easter eggs we
recently learned that the spider-man far from home post credits scene with Nick
Fury on that space station is actually this sword space station from the comics
sword is a comic book team that will debut on the Wandavision Disney Plus
series the difference between sword and shield is that sword is mostly based in
outer space on this space station they're responsible for defending Earth
from threats from outer space shield is mostly concerned with threats based on
planet Earth when Justin Hammer says shield in this scene it's also a
reference to the Nick Fury storyline during this movie becoming a much bigger
character after the original Iron Man post-credit scene we meet Don Cheadle
Rhodey for the first time they have a big wink reference when he walks in I'm
here let's deal with it move on they famously recast Rhodey after Terrence
Howard from the first movie got into a big pay dispute with Marvel when Iron
Man is busy not paying attention to the committee you'd notice there's an
Illuminati Easter Egg on his phone that's another big Marvel phase for
Marvel phase 5 Easter Egg now that they have all the x-men and Fantastic Four
characters they can actually do a legit Illuminati MCU team so this is just
Kevin Feige really early on teasing eventual big crossover the way that he
did in that deleted Ironman post-credits scene which reference x-men and
spider-man crossover we go back to venko we get another ten rings Easter Egg when
he gets some information from them the ten rings or the mandarins group from
the MCU heavily featured in the Iron Man movies but the name is also a reference
to the 10 alien rings of power that the Mandarin wears the fake Mandarin would
later debut during Iron Man 3 after this but we're going to meet the real
Mandarin of the MCU during shang-chi in the legend of the ten rings where we'll
also see the actual physical ten rings of power from the comics this actor is
Tony Leung he's the person that they cast to play the real-life Mandarin of
the MCU the movie will be a little bit like Marvel's version of Bruce Lee's
Enter the Dragon you notice that the alias that whiplash
is using is Boris Turgenev it's the name of the second version of Crimson Dynamo
from the comics who takes the mantle from Ivan Vanko so maybe we'll see a
second version the Crimson Dynamo in the MCU in the future we go back to Iron Man
in the boxing scene referencing happy Hogan's history in the comics as a boxer
and we meet Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow for the first time Scarlett
Johansson famously was not Marvel's first pick for Black Widow either
originally they wanted Emily Blunt who around this time was getting ready to
get married to John Krasinski in real life who marvel was also after at the
same time for the Captain America role before they went to Chris Evans right
now everyone's talking about Marvel phase 4 John Krasinski doing a new
version of Fantastic Four is Reed Richards and possibly Emily Blunt
becoming the new Invisible Woman marvel's been after them for a long time
to be in marvel movies so it's just funny to see things come back around
full circle the reason that Emily Blunt had to pass on Black Widow is because of
a scheduling conflict with another movie she was doing paving the way for scar
Joe who will later see this year in Black Widow the name that she's using
during this movie Natalie rushman is based on her comic book alias Nancy
rushman from the spider-man comics we has some more celebrity cameos when go
back to the race in Monaco Elon Musk cameos as himself the MCU present-day
version of Iron Man is based a little bit on Elon Musk later in the movie when
Justin Hammer breaks venko at her prison to come work for him in that big
warehouse that's actually Elon Musk's SpaceX warehouse in real life where they
build their rockets while they're at the reception here they take a picture of
Tony and pepper which later shows up during the first Avengers movie at the
bar when Iron Man is confronting Loki I have an army we have a Hulk he goes down
to race the car we get another rocks an Easter egg just as Vanko comes out
revealing himself as whiplash and we get our Iron Man mark 5 briefcase suit for
the first time this sort of wink at the fact that this is way more mobile than
his other armors which up to this point he's had to have a bunch of machines to
put on and take off the whole idea with each new armors that they get more
advanced more mobile more powerful until we get to Avengers infinity war in
Avengers end game with the Nano armors after which he no longer needs the
mobile armory his new nano armours can literally become any weapon
or any piece of armour that he needs them to be on the fly when they flash a
news broadcast showing Vanko being arrested they used a picture of
real-life Mickey Rourke being arrested on drug charges from a long time ago
then we get that big party scene with Iron Man in the armor getting super
drunk as part of the demon in a bottle storyline the DJ behind him is real-life
DJ Adam Goldstein rody comes they fight he takes the Iron Man mark to prototype
armor they later repurposed that as the war machine mark 1 during their fight
Robert Downey jr. even says the name war machine they pay off a really big Iron
Man 1 whiplash reference when this character comes back from the first
movie during that he used the callsign whiplash for one of the pilots chasing
down Iron Man we get that very famous Randy's donut scene that they put in all
the promos with a severely hungover Iron Man eating Donuts sitting inside
the giant donut this is an actual restaurant that you can go to in Los
Angeles when the lockdown because of the virus is over of course Nick Fury gives
Iron Man the business and they reveal black widows secret identity he drops a
big thor easter egg talking about something happening in the southwest
that they later pay off in the post-credits scene Coulson later
references it when he says he has to go to New Mexico and it shows up on Nick
Fury's map at the end of the movie there are a ton of e strays on all these maps
so I'll cover that at the end of the video too we get an Avengers age of
Ultron Easter Egg when Vanko is talking to hammer saying that drones are better
people make problems Tony's iron Legion would famously or
infamously serve as the origin of Ultron in combination with the mine stone in
another big Spiderman Easter Egg he later references that in spider-man
homecoming when he gave spider-man the business about the suit not making the
man it's not about the tech it's about the man inside the suit they put Tony
under house arrest effectively which is kind of what's happening to all of us in
real life now because of the virus he gets a big trunk of his father's
belongings there are a ton of Easter eggs in here he's wearing Howard Starks
old bathrobe there's a Captain America number one comic book in the trunk here
another teaser for the upcoming Captain America movie as Howard Stark was a huge
part of the super soldier program Ironman starts hearing his father talk
about legacy you're the greatest thing I created some
these things good somebody's bad about his history with vanko's father their
original work together developing the arc reactor he finds his father's
tesseract diary with research trying to use it to create a new source of clean
energy later we would see Dominic Cooper's Howard start grabbing that off
the ocean floor at the end of the first Captain America movie Howard Stark
studied the tesseract for years until the early 90s when he and shield created
project Pegasus hiring Marvel who would secretly be revealed as a Kree scientist
giving her the tesseract to study for a way to create faster than light travel
you have to remember that in the MCU ships don't travel past Lightspeed like
they do in Star Wars they use jump gates to get around the universe which we
would later see them pay off during guardians of the galaxy 2 in that funny
montage all the names on all these blueprints in the film reels are just
names of the crew members who worked on Iron Man 2 in real life and then Iron
Man obviously here's his father talking about legacy connects the dots on the
stark Expo model learning that hides the secret work that he did trying to create
a new element based on tesseract research which Ironman then completes so
the big thing here is that Iron Man is basing his new arc reactor technology to
power it based on infinity stone technology which explains in the MCU why
he can be so powerful he's using an infinity stone to power himself
effectively during this montage of him creating the element there's a deleted
scene where he references projects Pegasus Exodus and Goliath years before
they would pay those things off big Marvel phase 4 Easter eggs to project
Pegasus like I said was featured during the Captain Marvel movie it's also the
name of the base that they had at the first Avengers movie that blew up where
they were studying the tesseract if it wasn't clear that was the same base that
they featured in the flashbacks during the Captain Marvel movie project Goliath
was featured during ant-man in the wasp when we met the real-life Goliath comic
book character said that he worked with Hank Pym on a project called quote
unquote Goliath then project Exodus is a big Eternals
x-men Easter egg that they'll pay off in Marvel phase 4 during the Eternals movie
biblical Exodus in the way that the Eternals left society in the creation of
MCU mutants more Captain America Easter eggs because we're getting ready for
them movie Coulson gets super pissed off at
Iron Man when he shows very little respect for Captain America's prototype
shield Coulson would later be revealed as a hilariously massive Captain America
stand in the first Avengers movie I watched you while you were sleeping we
got our big final boss fight hammers drones go off the rails Black Widow
attacks with happy Hogan this footage of her fight scene would later be seen in
the black widow trailer recently showing taskmaster studying her moves and at the
end of the movie Iron Man learns about the Avengers initiative document that we
would later see Nick Fury drafting in the Captain Marvel movie all across
these screens are a billion different Easter eggs
there's whi H footage from Incredible Hulk we just saw in that movie on the
map over here from left to right there's LA for Iron Man's mansion in the events
of the Iron Man movies there's New Mexico for Thor's hammer there's a point
of interest in New York for Incredible Hulk in the stark Expo fight there's one
in the polar icecaps for Captain America where he was found there's one in Norway
for the town where the tesseract was found at the beginning of the Captain
America movie there's one over here in Africa for Wakanda which we would see in
the black panther movie and then one in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of
Africa which is another big Marvel phase for Easter Egg for Atlantis which they
referenced during Avengers endgame then we get our big post-credit scene where
Coulson arrives in New Mexico to find Thor's hammer which has just landed on
earth everyone let me know in the comments if you spotted any big Marvel
phase 4 Easter eggs during Iron Man 2 that I didn't mention during the video
