Deleted Robert Downey Jr’s Scene From Iron Man 2 Reveals the Truth Behind His Nano Suit That Helped Him Fight Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War

A deleted Iron Man 2 scene hints at Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark’s early nanotech research, explaining his advanced suit in Infinity War.

The vast tapestry of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has allowed for a wide range of possibilities to exist and contributed to a grand narrative that explains a lot of minor and major details that fans have missed. One such detail is Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man suit in Avengers: Infinity War. Made of nanotech, the Mark L Armor was revealed in the said film and proved crucial to fighting the Mad Titan.

Fans have often debated and deliberated where the said armor has come from. The mystery might have its answer in one deleted scene from Iron Man 2, which shows that Stark is not just a genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, but a visionary, tirelessly engineering his own legacy to protect the universe.

Thanos and Iron Man

Robert Downey Jr.‘s Iron Man may not have any real superpowers but his intelligence alone proved he could singlehandedly defeat the greatest of adversaries. Since the very start, the superhero has showcased how he needs neither superpowers nor great equipment to achieve greatness. His wit, intellect, and determination have thus made Iron Man a standout character in the MCU.

And one deleted scene from Iron Man 2 provides a deeper understanding of Stark’s relentless pursuit of innovation and preparedness. In the said scene, Stark is seen working on a new element for his Arc Reactor, and in the same sequence, we can even catch a glimpse of a prototype of the nanotech technology that would potentially become his Mark L Armor seen in Infinity War.

This subtle scene showcases Tony Stark’s preparedness and consistent pursuit of revolutionary tech to protect the universe from threats and adversaries like Thanos. Even though he might have not anticipated how vital this concept would one day prove to be in saving the universe, the scene proves that Tony Stark is not called the smartest Avenger for nothing.

Wakanda Helped Perfect Iron Man’s Nanotech Suit

Fans have often wondered how Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man armor in Infinity War came about. Although unconfirmed, the above-mentioned deleted scene from Iron Man 2 seems to prove that Stark has always been interested in nanotech, perfecting it just in time in Infinity War. However, there is more than what meets the eye for Marvel’s The Wakanda Files reveals that it was the Wakandans who helped Tony Stark perfect his nano suit.

As per the book, there was a significant exchange of information between Pepper Potts, Stark Industries’ Asset Management department, Tony Stark and JARVIS, and the African nation. This eventually helped Stark acquire the information he needed to perfect his nanoparticle technology and initially used it to enhance the Spider suit for Peter Parker.

This collaboration, vital and significant, is also a notable moment in the MCU highlighting Stark’s willingness to seek external assistance to perfect his invention even though he usually avoids sharing his technology and invention. A feat that signifies a deep trust between Stark and Wakanda, this chain of events and the deleted Iron Man 2 scene also showcases both parties’ shared vision for technological advancement.

Iron Man 2 can be streamed on Disney+.
