Now that he has also taken on the character of the USA-branded Iron Patriot, it would make sense to challenge his character against Schwarzenegger.

Though Schwarzenegger’s role is not new, it is highly possible that MCU would rewrite the background story of Titanium Man to make it more related to Schwarzeneggerās Austrian origins. It would be a great deal if Schwarzenegger manages to pull off his role in the MCU, which will give him a big league comeback after several years of semi-retirement.
