Iron Man 3 Easter egg recently pointed
Easter
vacation may be over - but that doesn't mean the Easter Egg bunny has stopped
delivering, and the Iron Man 3 Easter egg
recently pointed out onio9.com is
certainly cool enough to keep the holiday spirit alive.
It
goes a little something (SPOILER-y) like this:
Remember
the female AIM agent, Ellen Brandt?
Well
it turns out that the name Ellen Brandt has a lot of history in the Marvel
Universe. Specifically, that she was the wife of the mysterious superhero named
Man-Thing, before betraying him - acquiring that fetching facial scar in the
process - and joining AIM.
All
of which is far too much like the way her character plays out in the film to be
any kind of coincidence. Does it mean, though, that we're going to see
Man-Thing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe any time soon?
Short
answer - no. Firstly, he looks like this:
So
he wouldn't be the most straightforward cameo to feature - though he would
certainly make for an interesting Agents of
S.H.I.E.L.D. episode.
Secondly,
his rights are actually owned by
Lionsgate, who actually released a made for TV movie version of his story back
in 2005 on the SciFi Channel (back when that was what SyFy was still called).
It was even produced by crossover-foiler extraordinaire Avi Arad.
All
of which means this might be the closest thing to Man-Thing we'll be seeing for
a while - but it's still pretty darned cool in the meantime.
