Marvel Studios’ Andy Park has shared Mark XVI armor concept art from Iron Man 3 for Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark.
Iron Man 3 is one of the most debated films in Marvel Studios’ Infinity Saga. The sequel was Robert Downey Jr.’s final solo film for Iron Man and featured the infamous Mandarin twist. The 2013 film also featured many suits including the Mark XVI that Downey Jr. wore prominently in the film.
Mark XVI is a standout when it comes to armor Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark has worn in the Marvel Cinematic Universe due to the the suit having gold as a primary color instead of the traditional red. Marvel Studios Director of Visual Development Andy Park recently shared an unused design for the Mark XVI on Instagram that would have seen Iron Man in all-black instead of the gold.

Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man.
