Kevin Feige on Extremis and S.H.I.E.L.D. in IRON MAN 3
While Iron Man 3 is kicking ass in theaters, Marvel President Kevin Feige did a little question and answer session on Twitter as @Iron_Man. A lot of questions were asked, and among them were a few interesting little gems that I thought I'd share with you in case you missed it.
During the Q&A, we learned that we haven't seen the last of Extremis in the Marvel movie universe. Feige also said the reason S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't help Tony Stark in Iron Man 3 was because they were busy, and what they were busy with will be revealed in future Marvel films. He also said he'd like to see Happy in the armor!

Which character that hasn’t been in the suit would you like to see put it on? #FiOSIM3Chat

Happy wore it in the comics, I think it would be cool to see that in the film. #FiOSIM3Chat

I assumed we haven't seen the last of Extremis, the technology exists now, and it will be interesting to see how they use it in future films. As for S.H.I.E.L.D. being busy, we know that they play a huge role in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, so I assume that these two events will be happening at the same time. The same thing could also be said of Thor: The Dark World and Guardians of the Galaxy. Who knows, maybe it ties in with the Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D. TV series as well. We'll eventually find out the details on that, so it's just one more Marvel puzzle piece we have to look forward to. Then there's seeing Happy in the suit... that would just be plain awesome!
