As fans prepare for the onslaught of awesomeness that will surely be unleashed in less than two months with Avengers: Age of Ultron, speculation about the direction of Marvel Studio’s Cinematic Universe continues at a steady pace. However, while everyone has been looking forward, it now seems as though a new theory has discovered a critical occurrence in the film that’s widely considered the black sheep of the MCU, Iron Man 2.
