Nia DaCosta, director of The Marvels, reveals that this detail from Iron Man 3 had a big influence on the next MCU movie.
The Big Picture Nia DaCosta joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the director of The Marvels, which serves as a follow-up to a number of MCU projects — primarily 2019's Captain Marvel. And while the narrative of that story propels the sequel forward, the Candyman director has revealed that the film has been influenced by another MCU project, and it's one viewers may not have anticipated.
"Oh, Iron Man 3. I just love it so much, first of all. I think it's one of the best Marvel films. But also, in a really practical sense actually, the Extremis effect, which I really loved in the film influenced us on another thing we did in our film, which you'll see when you watch it." The main antagonist in the film is a terrorist called "The Mandarin," portrayed by Sir Ben Kingsley. The Mandarin is responsible for a series of bombings in the United States, and Stark takes it upon himself to confront this new threat. The secondary antagonist in the movie is Aldrich Killian , a brilliant scientist and entrepreneur associated with the development of Extremis technology, which is central to the story.
