Marvel is well-known for inserting scenes into their films to surprise audiences, and Iron Man 3 is no different. As always, stay to the end of the credits. What is different about Tony Stark’s latest adventure is that the film’s Chinese release is four minutes longer than in the rest of the world.

Those four minutes got a lot of fanboy interest when director Shane Black said they featured an “interesting surprise.”
