Marvel's Iron Man is active in licensed publishing and merchandise, with a Kadokawa manga on the KadoComi platform and several 2026 collectibles shipping in the fall and winter. The Electronic Arts action-adventure game remains in development with no release date or platforms announced.
Merchandise accounts for most of the current Iron Man coverage, and three separate manufacturers are moving product in the back half of 2026. Threezero opened pre-orders on June 10 for the DLX Iron Man Mark 44 Hulkbuster battle damage figure, a 30 cm piece with over 65 points of articulation, LED lights, and compatibility with its earlier Mark 43 releases, priced at 47,810 yen and shipping in Q4 2026. ZD Toys then set four figures for November 2026 through Doyusha, including Iron Man Mk85 (2.0) with light-up eyes and chest and the Iron Man Mk13, at prices from 6,600 yen to 11,000 yen. The two Iron Man figures in the ZD lineup bookend the character's film history: the Mk85 is his most recent, the Mk13 the older armor.
On the game side, the official X account for EA's Marvel's Iron Man made its first post on August 19, responding to leaked development footage. The account, created in June 2023 and confirmed as genuine, said 'It didn't go as planned' and that there is more to show when ready. Platforms and a release date remain unannounced, and that is the last thing the game's own channels have said.
Marvel's publishing push in Japan moved to Kadokawa in October. The five-manga slate, detailed at a New York Comic Con panel on October 11 and launched on the KadoComi site the following day, is led by Iron Man and Spider-Man alongside Deadpool, Spider-Gwen, and Venom. Each first chapter opens with a free preview. The Iron Man title is now one of five Marvel originals running on Kadokawa's platform.
