(IRON MAN 4 title appears) Iron Man and War Machine interviene in a hostage sittuation by taking out captives and freeing the hostages, and following this they get a call from Pepper who informs them that they'll be late for the charity party in New York City. The film then skips to Tony and Rhody arriving at the charity party and are greeted by Happy, Maria Hill, and Pepper who tells them that they are late over two hours, to this Tony replies that they stopped for drive thru. After meeting with some people, Rhody and Pepper meet with businessman Edwin Cord and Tony meets with Maria who tells him that she's there because she hopes that he will suport her idea of the regestration act and asks him to consider it. A wall in the hall the guests are standing in then gets blown up and the charity gets attacked by armed agents in black amor who start taking the guests hostage. Maria Hill reacts by pulling her gun out and shooting at the agents, before she is unarmed from behind. Tony escapes into a seperate room where he uses his phone to activate an autopilot, before being caught and brought back inside the hall. A man in a wheelchair revealed to be Tarleton, then enters the hall and uses a computer to talk to the hostages. He starts by saying that they should thank Tony Stark for this intrusion as his father is responsible for his condition, and then asks Tony if he has any last words before they execute them, to which Tony replies that they should duck. A metal pod then breaks through the glass roof and hits the floor, knocking Tarleton and the soldiers of the ground, which gives Tony time to open the pod, reveal his Mark XI armor and suit up, the soldiers then react by shooting at Iron Man with no effect, Iron Man then blasts them through the walls and windows, before realising that Tarleton is gone. The next morning Tony arrives at Stark tower and is met by agent Hill, who informs him that she investigated into George Terlaton and found out that he was working on a project with Tony's father which cost him his legs and voice.

I met up with them [the Iron Man 4 crew] and i said "what's Stan gonna do next" and they said "nothin', your playing Hugh Hefner". I remember in the first one [Iron Man (2008)] Tony Stark mistook me for Hugh Hefner, now he recognises me at a charity event as Stan Lee and i correct him saying "No no no, you got it all wrong, i'm Hugh... Hefner!". I love that one... and i know you'll love it too!". In February 2017 actor Daniel Day-Lewis was cast as the main villain of the movie.
