'Iron Man 4' Movie: Pepper Potts Could Leave Tony After The Events Of 'Avengers 2,' Lead To Destroyed Stark Industries [VIDEO]
While the movie is still a long ways off, there is a lot of speculation as to where Iron Man will go in the next installment of the franchise, which could take place after two Avengers movies. But could that mean a major break-up is happening?
Could Iron Man Move To Another Franchise & Ditch His Own?
Over at ComicBook Movie, they speculated a plot for the upcoming movie Iron Man 4 that would come directly after Avengers 2, with a plot dealing with the aftermath of Ultron.
"The films begins with the political aftermath of Avengers: Age of Ultron. Stark Industries is under heavy scrutiny and controversy due to the public learning that Ultron, the artificial intelligence who nearly conquered the entire planet, was a creation of Tony Stark. No longer a media darling and facing dwindling support, Stark makes a formal announcement that he will be stepping down and foresaking any attachment to the company, leaving everything in the hands of Pepper Potts," the site speculates.
"While Pepper is used to being the CEO of Stark Industries, she is emotionally disturbed by what happened with Ultron. Unable to stomach being around Tony, she demands that he leaves, and he agrees that it is for the best."
The site goes on to say that part of the film goes to Pepper trying to salvage the company while Tony hangs his head.
"At the same time, a new company called Baintronics starts to make headlines due to the development of prototype digital weapons called the 'Protocol' line. The company's CEO is Sunset Bain, an extremely charismatic and attractive woman who has taken the media by storm due to her vehement stance against artificial intelligence. She refers to the 'Ultron Incident' as a tragic inevitability because of humanity's innate desire to create life," the site speculates.
"The Protocol weapons do not have a corporeal form; they are weaponized computer viruses which are designed to infiltrate digital systems and destroy them at a basic level if they show any signs of attaining sentience."
The site speculates that the film ends with a showdown between Baintronics and Tony, which seems like a mix between the plot of the first and third movies.
