Factual error: When the Iron Patriot armor is shot at on Air Force One, the bullets ricochet and smash a window. The windows on Air Force One are bulletproof. (01:32:55)
Tony Stark: Jarvis, do me a favor, blow the Mark 42.
Trivia: Stay till to the end of the credits once again for an extra scene. This time featuring an unexpected cameo and after that a tag line appears that says,"Tony Stark Will Return". (02:09:05 - 02:10:20)
Question: Is this movie set in December 2012, six months after the events of The Avengers movie, or December 2013? The newspaper handed to Tony in the garage is dated December 24, 2013.
Chosen answer: Iron Man 3 is set in December 2013, but at no point in The Avengers that I can recall was it ever stated to be 2012; that's just the year it came out, not necessarily the year it was set, so in-film continuity would suggest the Avengers is set in 2013.
Answer: With the release of Endgame, it is now fact that the Battle of New York took place in 2012.
