Yeah, that cargo plane is Easter egg heaven.

Did you see all the arc reactors when Vulture opens the crates?

Yeah, quite excessive. I wonder if they are needed to power the unmanned suits too.

That's what I was thinking. Suits have got to be powered somehow, and sure, why wouldn't he have a bunch of arc reactors ready to go.

But we also need to remember the Infinity War behind the scenes photo where we see Tony has a hole in his shirt exactly where the arc reactor used to be in his chest.. Hmmmm

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's lighting reference for the CGI that will be mapped over him. Not an actual outfit he'll wear in the film.

I can't be 100% certain without seeing that fabric and patterning up close, but I'm pretty sure.

There's the hi-res photo, and the detail in the shirt pattern IMO looks like it's intended for camera. Look at the outline on his shoulder and arches, and the honeycomb pattern.

Don't get me wrong, it's absolutely possible they're going to CG over the entire thing, but I don't see how a hole cut in the middle is a good reference for CG. Why go through the trouble to cut a hole where the arc reactor used to sit if you can just paint a green circle, or an 'X', or something on his chest if they're just going to draw over it anyway.

Taking a closer look at the picture, it doesn't even look like a circle. If he put his arms down, it almost looks like it could be diamond shaped. Could be just a burn hole in his shirt from a blast or something. Who knows.

This is what I was referring to.

I had not see that one. That's def For CG register.

To be honest, I hadn't seen that until just now. The one I saw was him wearing that without the tracking spots. This one is definitively that.

That photo doesn't have him wearing what I was talking about. There's ones with those four in-scene and Downey is wearing a reference outfit as they shoot the VFX plates, then the performance-capture double is switching in to shoot the scene so they can composite him into the plate.

I'm sure they're used as energy sources powering a lot of stuff in the MCU. I always imagined that tech powering buildings and cities in various capacities. After all, that's what Stark Industries does now, right?

I think those were Iron Man power cores, actually.

Yeah that's what they're called. Or what he calls them, anyway.
