Yeah, I got my secret super society African cities confused for a
moment. With BP and the city's control of Vibranium and that being the
secret to Captain America's shield I knew that but had a momentary
confusion. I know there's been recent speculation (like the last few
days) that BP will play a bigger role in the upcoming Avengers movies
(much like it seems they are doing with Spiderman). Guess it's time to
bring in some new blood in case Downey takes a leave so they either
need to bring in a new Iron Man or write him out for a bit.

That may be the case but nothing prevents them from treating him the
way they do in Japan with executives they no longer need but won't
fire. Just take away all of his decision making ability so he still
gets paid, but for doing nothing. That limits his ability to screw up
anything.
