Movies Justin Hammer as he’s arrested in Iron Man 2. Hoping he returns in Ironheart or Armor Wars

Sam Rockwell was so good in the role

I think that was on the sweet spot for when he was a name but before Sam Rockwell became a "I get to decide what projects I take" huge star. Maybe he'd be interested in an overpaid cameo.

I think they should tread carefully on making the new generation of MCU just fight B-tier villains from Phases 1-3

Maybe he'd be interested in an overpaid cameo.

Bigger stars than him are doing it. I don't think Marvel shies away from such things.

Agreed on your second point, though he did voice the character in one episode of What if s.2. That said, it would be great if he showed up in Ironheart as a washed-up arms dealer and stole a scene or two before perhaps dying a spectacular death (however much I’d love if he would show up more)

Honestly, Hammer seems like a guy who would make that threat, then never be seen again. He was all flash with little to back it.

Yeah, I was originally thinking how “it hasn’t aged well” but then thought it also fits the character perfectly and is pretty hilarious given his absence (minus voicing him in What If in season 2)

Seems like the Arrested Development meme might fit this better.

Hammer: “I’m gonna be seeing you again real soon.”

Ron Howard Narration: “He did not see them again real soon”

He was also in the one shot where the real Mandarin had Trevor Slattery... I was gonna say "broken out of jail" but it was closer to kidnapped from jail.

It was announced in 2020-21 I think and was originally a show following Rhodey/War Machine but was later decided to be developed as a movie instead and then we’ve heard virtually nothing since 🤷‍♀️

That was the joke.

He joined the show business. He was at the Oscars this year with Tony Stark, didn't you see?
