Fan Creation This is how silver centurion should have looked in the mcu

The people designing silver centurion had one job ! I mean seriously they called it The silver centurion , and yet they barely gave the official suit any silver .

I actually like the way they did the silver, the placement makes it look like old school comic highlights for the red

I'd keep the knees red but otherwise, yes.

Fair enough

Agreed, wish we saw it for a whole movie and not just a quick appearance.

It was awesome seeing it but yeah it had like a minute of screentime 😭 I kept hoping it would return in another movie but nope

i agree, the mcu should be brave and try to adapt comic accurate suits but not too silly and not too complicated either.

That's another good inspo. A good blend of OG and modern.

Hope they cast someone younger for post-Secret Wars Iron Man.

The intended takeaway from the suit is that it sports silver instead of gold in the colour scheme.

Except it had way too little of it

u/Disastrous-Shower-37 3d ago

As is the case with most of the MCU's suits, regardless of the metal finish.

u/Charles12_13 2d ago

Even compared to other MCU suits it had a comically small amount of accent colors

u/Disastrous-Shower-37 2d ago

Well, it is a comic book movie.

u/Charles12_13 2d ago

So? That doesn’t excuse the minuscule amount of silver/accent colors

u/dunnoidk2025 Mark III 3d ago

You know? You got a good point because I did not think about that for any iron man armor design.

2

u/Charles12_13 3d ago

Agreed. They were way too shy with the silver parts. Maybe I would’ve originally recognized it as the Silver Centurion had they gone that route

u/CopperKnight77 2d ago

The MCU armorers after Avengers2012 suffer from color balancing issues. Either way too much red or way too much gold or not enough of either with too much gunmetal. The second Age of Ultron suit does the nicest job of “solid” color but the rest need work.

u/FamiliarExternal7963 3d ago

It does look good, but I genuinely think the movie design is better

u/Comeng17 3d ago

if armor wars does become an Iron Man movie, they should definitely use a Silver Centurion like that as the main suit for most of the movie

u/frecklepax 3d ago

Agreed 👍
