I was only told afterwards that Cap’s shield was in the Iron Man movie. I don’t know if there is a real explanation of why Tony Stark has the shield (maybe he wanted to collect an expensive artifact from WWII) or if it’s truly just a wink at the fans.

All I know is that comic book films should have all sorts of crossovers and nods to other characters. I hope Marvel can pull off an Avengers movie.

I think Joshua is right, but if that is Cap’s shield, well, it’s kind of interesting, let’s see what kind of easter eggs Marvel have prepared for Hulk. Remember what Fury said to Tony “you are now part of a whole new universe” or something like that. Peace.

I’m more interested in that pic of Liv Tyler in the wet shirt.

A friend showed me this picture a few days ago and I met up with some friends to go see Iron Man again yesterday afternoon, and it’s there, clear as day, but it looks like its being assembled. It’s a great easter egg.

Am I the only one who noticed the Roxxon Corporation building during Tony’s fight with Obadiah, or am I just insane?

I definitely saw the Roxxon building during the last fight, I thought that was awesome. I missed the shield tho! damn, when does the dvd come out?

I see it, but really, why? The super soldier serum makes sense, but why it Tony making a Cap’s shield?

I noticed the Roxxon building, but missed the shield on both viewings of Iron Man. I suppose Tony could have the shield as a reference — perhaps he was studying the alloy’s metalurgy, or something along those lines.

i applaude the synchronicity going on here. this may set a new trend in movie making.

Speaking for myself, this has been the whole appeal of the Marvel Universe to begin with.

There’s not only a continuity, but an interconnectedness with all these characters. You can do a Batman film without referencing Superman (& vice versa), but so much of the Marvel stable is identified by their relations to each other.

Which is why we’ll see a coherent Avengers film before we see a JLA one.

To people who might not understand why Stark has a prototype shield. Captain America in fact got his modern shield from Nick Fury and The SHIELD Agency. If the Nick fury they had in the film was African American I believe they will be keeping the same ULTIMATE universe intact. Remember Stark builds devices for the government who is to say a order wasn’t placed. Also keep in mind Fury says “You don’t think that you are the only super hero out there.” Possibly implying that Captain America might already exist and is still not publicly known. Could still be training until SHIELD is ready to introduce The Avengers to the world

Gee, thanks for spoiling the Nick Fury appearance. I swear, can’t people wait at least until a movie hits the dollar show before speaking freely?

I didn’t get to see the Fury clip, my theatre never showed it (complained and have tix waiting for me), but if #21 is quoting SLJ/Fury, then what about DD/Elektra/X-Men/Blade, etc?

I would imagine all/most of these would all be in the same “universe” in Hollywood/Marvel-land.

I’m honestly surprised there were no X-Men references, but other superheroes were implied as existing at the final press conference.

I don’t think that’s Cap’s shield at all. It actually looks like a scale model of his house. The unfinished “star” shape is the actual top-down view of his home, and the “rings” around it are maybe perimeter markings or whatever.

The three pointed star portion of the “shield” is actually a work lamp on Stark’s table. It is flattened out and blurry in the screen cap but clear as day on the screen.

The portion of dark/light blue curving under his bicep is the lamp’s stand.

Agreed Spy Smasher, it’s ridiculous to come into a thread about a movie that’s been out this long and get pissy about a spoiler. Me, I think the cap shield is just a fun easter egg and has no actual continuity implications.

Marvel has announced an Avengers movie, written by Zak Penn, for July 2011. A lot of things could happen between now and then to change those plans, but it’s certainly more than “internet gossip.”

What about Jarvis? Well, he was voiced by Paul Bettany (for any of you who didn’t recognize him or mistook him for Jude Law, though they do sound alike) and I think it was great that they changed him from an Alfred Pennyworth rip-off to a wisecracking computer program (“of course, what was I thinking? You’re usually so discreet…”).

Also, I dearly, dearly wish they would take all Marvel properties far, FAR AWAY from Zak (“Elektra” and “X-Men 3″) Penn. Why not give the Iron Man writers another go again? They did a bang-up job.

You know, for all its success, I don’t even care if the Iron Man movie turns out to be the winning horse in the summer blockbuster derby because I freaking loved it no matter what. Own away, Dark Knight.

What I do want, oddly enough, is for it to scoop up a heap of nominations (at LEAST) come awards season, and I don’t mean the usual Visual Effects or Sound Effects Editing or Sound Mixing nods. I mean if there was ever a movie that could establish the legitimacy of the superhero comic book adaptation it was this one, with its pitch-perfect mainstream actors, its cleverly-conceived script and technical perfection. If Raiders of the Lost Ark could get nominated for Best Picture in 1982, and if LOTR could WIN the Best Picture Oscar in 2003, maybe the Academy’s ready to recognize a new kind of film, even just nominally.

And I’m dearly hoping for a Best Actor Oscar for Robert Downey, Jr. Since this movie came out so many people have been patting him on the back for carrying what was effectively his comeback movie with such panache, and considering the semi-political nature of the Oscars I wouldn’t be suprrised if people in Hollywood wanted to give him the award just to let him know how glad they are to see him back doing what he does best.

Não é o escudo não… é reflexo e imaginação.

Nope, I checked my bootleg, it’s not the shield. It’s part of the machinery, it even moves.

it was confirmed to be Cap’s shield by Marvel Studios’ President Kevin Feige. check out the recent blog post about the Captain America movie, he says it there.

Firstly, Captain America didn’t originally use a round shield. Therefore it is possible that Tony is making the more famous one, whilst the other is with Cap. Rumor has it that there was a removed scene from “The Incredible Hulk”, in which Hulk is in the arctic trying to commit suicide and whilst smashing up the ice, a frozen form pops up out of the water.
Secondly, the super soldier serum for Cap which was used on Blonsky is not the one from the photo above. It was a clear liquid, which was in the container marked Dr. Reinstein in the freezer that Gen. Ross pulled out. The blue serum was something else mixed with Hulk’s blood. The Hulk-blood serum mixed with the super soldier serum is what caused Blonsky to become the Abomination.
Thirdly, Alberta is the stomping grounds of Wolverine. Wolvie’s first appearance was in the Incredible Hulk comic, when Hulk and Wolverine fought the Wendigo. Is this a coincidence? Especially, now that there are new rumors circulating around that Tony Stark has a cameo in “Origins of the X-Men:Wolverine” and that Wolverine was to be a member of the Avengers.

Now that I have thought about that, you must be correct.

Thanks for the share. interesting post!
