The Return of the King (As a Villain)

The teaser does not waste time, opening with a decimated Latveria and a voiceover that chillingly reminds us that ‘new masks are needed for new problems.’ It is a jarring shift from the Tony Stark we once knew, as Downey brings a cold, calculated intensity to the screen that feels distinct and menacing.
