Favreau said that he's looking at the anime Appleseed, Ghost in the Shell, and Neon Genesis Evangellion for inspirations, but still trying to ground the film in the real world and real technology, "So the only buy you have to make is a guy in an Iron Man suit."

Favreau said that he'll be starting with the gray armor in the film, before moving on to a few different types of armor, and will end with the gold and red, evolving more into a weapons platform than a flying suit.
