It's worth reminding readers that the Spider-Man 3 game was released at a time when the original Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy was just wrapping up, and the first Iron Man movie was still in production, beginning filming just two months before Spider-Man 3 released. The mysterious concept art is not only interesting as an example of an early Marvel and Sony interaction but intriguing because of the now well-developed relationship between Peter Parker and Tony Stark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The still shot, posted to Twitter, does not offer much explanation, showing an odd-looking Iron Man, flying over an empty field, but the mere idea of Iron Man appearing in the Spider-Man 3 game is evidence to some of a crossover long before it actually came to fruition. A bit of sleuthing has uncovered concept art for Iron Man in the debug version of the Spider-Man 3 game from way back in 2007.
