Iron Man 3 had one of the most controversial plot twists in the MCU's history, but it was spoiled by a weird Captain America Easter egg.

Like every other movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iron Man 3 is packed with Easter eggs and references to past movies and other characters, and among them is a weird Captain America Easter egg that actually spoiled the movie’s biggest twist. Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man was the hero that kicked off the MCU, and while his first movie is considered among the best in the Infinity Saga, the same can’t be said about his sequels.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Set after the events of The Avengers, Iron Man 3 saw Tony Stark dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety after his near-death experience during the Battle of New York. In addition to that, Tony faced Aldrich Killian , a scientist and creator of the Extremis virus, with which he was creating a new and dangerous type of soldiers.

Iron Man 3’s Trevor Slattery Had A Captain America-Inspired Tattoo When The Mandarin was announced as the villain for Iron Man 3, there was hope that it would bring to a close the storyline Iron Man started between Tony Stark and the Ten Rings, but the big twist in Iron Man 3 was that The Mandarin wasn’t the real leader of the Ten Rings.

A tattoo on the back of Slattery’s neck can be briefly seen in Iron Man 3, and it’s a very peculiar one, as it’s Captain America’s shield but instead of the star in the center, it has an anarchist’s “A”. Iron Man 3 director Shane Black confirmed this is Captain America’s shield on Slattery’s body, explaining that it was part of the character's design as he’s “very cobbled together”, and it represents the corruption of America.

Trevor Slattery’s Tattoo Gave Iron Man 3’s Villain Twist Away Trevor Slattery’s anarchist Captain America tattoo not only represents what The Mandarin stood for and his posture against power and more, but it also gives away Iron Man 3’s big twist.
