Marvel movies are known for their numerous references to the comics they’re inspired from, or the little details they throw in here and there to draw attention to other movies in their related universes. A habit that rewards long-time fans and keeps audiences on their feet every time a House of Ideas (another name for Marvel) movie comes on.
Ever since the saga’s first official feature film, Iron Man, came out 16 years ago, director Jon Favreau and his crew have had fun putting a lot of his Easter eggs on screen, sometimes in a way that’s impossible with the naked eye if you don’t freeze the image like this. , which we will talk about today. This is not a reference to a comic book, but a pop culture movie.

The scene takes place when Pepper Potts infiltrates the office of the film’s villain, Obadiah Stane, to examine confidential files and reports on an airplane shipment of weapons. His research leads him to discover a “ghost” hard drive containing many classified documents.
Among these documents we find files on a number of armaments and armament vehicles, including a certain “MSC Lebowski”. A reference to the Coen brothers’ film The Big Lebowski and its iconic character “Dude” (Duke in French) in 1998 played by Jeff Bridges, who plays Obadiah Stane.
The Marvel Universe will also allow itself another reference to the anti-hero, as Tony Stark will name Thor in an overly “Big Lebowski” Avengers: Endgame to emphasize his carelessness, bringing him closer to the neglected appearance of “The Dude.” From the first movie of Iron Man Phase 1 to the last movie of Phase 3, Iron Man has come full circle!
