There are already two references to Iron Man in The Mandalorian season 2!
A reference to Iron Man, which we just learned the hidden meaning of the burger scene
, is hidden in episode 6 of The Mandalorian season 2 (our verdict can be read here) . Star Wars and Marvel Studios had already spotted a nod to the billionaire superhero in the first episode of the series, making two with this one! These many connections to the MCU can be explained by the presence of Jon Favreau, the director of the adventures of Tony Stark , behind the camera of this original Disney program. This time, it's through 'a dialogue that the filmmaker offered an Easter Egg to the spectators. Reddit user named Jedd the Jedi spotted it at the very beginning of the episode, when Din Djarin is about to land on Tython.
During the scene, he said to Grogu that they will “have to travel the last straight line with the windows down” . A nod to a replica of Robert Downey Jr. in the first Iron Man ! When the superhero is chased by the US Air Force, which is after him for allowing himself to fly over a restricted area, he is questioned by James Rhodes on where exactly he is. Obviously Tony Stark is lying to him about this by telling him that he “ drove with the helmet down “! As you can see, this is a rather subtle and well-found reference, that only a sharp ear can perceive. Who knows, maybe Jon Favreau has one or two more little surprises for fans of the Marvel and Star Wars … Answer in the next episodes!
