She-Hulk Episode 1; Is this a legacy Marvel is trying to build for Iron Man? Or, can’t Marvel help but believe that fans want to see Iron Man somehow in their movies and shows?
Both of these considerations could be true! That’s because we saw a lot of Iron Man and Tony Stark references in She Hulk Episode 1. We will discuss them one by one.
Iron Man Damaged Helmet
When Jennifer Walters woke up in the Hulk’s lair after running into people on the street, she came across an Iron Man helmet on a table that had been damaged and presented as a keepsake.
We took a closer look at it, and depending on whether an Iron Man helmet is considered, it was a great screen time for fans to find all the hidden details.
Tony gave the lab and equipment to Bruce
Later, in the episode where Jen asks Bruce how he’s going to test and train her in a beach lab, Bruce replies that Tony gave him this to fight off his alter-ego during the blip. In other episodes or in the future, we may find out how Tony contributed his knowledge to help Hulk become the Smart Hulk.

In a later scene, when Jen and Bruce are talking about Hulk stuff at a bar, Jen asks him if he built the bar on his own. He responds with a ‘Yes’ and says that he and Tony used to have drinks here, as Tony was the one who always drank and talked endlessly about how Steve hurt him.
Very cleverly, Marvel also teased the connection between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers. Since the Hulk was in that bar after the blip and before End-Game, it’s possible Tony worked on a few things with Bruce to get all the blipped people back.
A bit later in the episode, we saw the wooden squiggles that said BB and TS Hulk run his hands over these squiggles, totally showing the bond they shared. For a while, Hulk and fans watching the episode remembered Tony Stark, aka Iron Man.
We would love to see more Iron Man references later in other episodes! Is not it?
