I think we can all agree, Marvel has perfected the "leave them wanting more" post-credits finale.
You may recall fanboy's collective gasp when Sam Jackson first appeared as Nick Fury after the end credits of the original Iron Man, and as we suspected last week, Iron Man 2 promises to deliver more mouth-watering imagery.
What exactly should fans expect to see as the triumphant Iron Man fanfare dies down and the lights come back up? We won't spoil it for you, but if you MUST know, head over to Slashfilm for the lowdown. Needless to say, fans of future Marvel properties could make an educated guess, but we'd just feel too damn guilty telling you.
According to Jordan Hoffman, who attended a private screening of the flick (with Director/DJ Jon Favreau in attendance), no such easter egg played - but that doesn't mean you won't see it. According to comments by Marvel go-to guy Kevin Feige and screenwriter Justin Theroux, there WILL be a scene that ties Iron Man 2 into the ever-expanding Marvel Universe. Remember, the press didn't see Nick Fury the first time either.
Do you plan on catching Iron Man 2 in theaters next week? Will you stick through the credits to get a taste of the future? When you do, come back and let us know what you think!
And if you want a teensy hit (and let your imagination run wild) click here - but you've been warned!
