With just a month left until the Stark Expo launches in Flushing Meadows, NY, I'm really getting a kick out of the corporate hints of what exactly the Expo could mean for Stark Industries (or, in another sense, a certain film franchise).
/Film was given the exclusive to point readers in the direction of the Expo's offshoot site for the Accutech Corporation which seems primed to premiere a special robotic exoskeleton on May 7th. There's video of both the suit in use as well as a corporate memo about Tony Stark's "no more weapons" policy. What's more, the site seems to have inactive hyperlinks to two other Stark divisions, Cordco and Fujikawa. Dollars to donuts says that we're going to be able to visit those two sites in the very, very near future.
After scouring the AccuTech site, I noticed that the Stark Expo site itself has a new addition; a memo from Tony himself. Of particular note is this line:
"Stark inventions were first displayed at the World Expo in 1941. In '54, my Father returned to Flushing Meadows, Queens to show off the new tech he used to defeat globabl tyranny."
The '54 is most certainly a reference to something his father, Howard Stark, did against the Soviet Union, creating the animosity of Mickey Rourke's Whiplash character in the present day. 1941 is the coolest bit as it highly suggests that we'll be seeing Stark Industries involved in the Super Soldier Program that creates Captain America. I mentioned the other day that the Accutech logo bears a shocking similarity to the A in Avengers and the blue-scaled background invokes a definite sense of Cap's forehead.
If that's not enough speculation, here's a completely wild and unfounded thought; couldn't you just see Ant-Man in that exoskeleton suit?
