Tony Stark Kept In Contact With Harley Keener (and so did Pepper Potts)
WARNING: THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR ENDGAME!!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
So, I’m back again with yet another theory/speculation/realization.
So, I’m not the only one that noticed a ‘random teenager’ in Tony Stark’s funeral right? Well, he’s actually not a random teenager. This boy is played by Ty Simpkins. And this boy is Harley Keener.
Now, we haven’t heart from Harley in about six years; not since the end of Iron Man 3 when Tony Stark gave him a bunch of new nerd toys.
We all know how much of an impact young Harley had on Tony. The kid helped him through anxiety attacks, and even helped him work up the goddamn nerve to save the world. Safe to say that without Harley, Tony and Pepper would not have been able to defeat the Mandarin.
Also, we’ve all seen how Tony acts with Peter right. Even the directors have admitted that they’ve been building a mentor/fatherly bond since he first appeared in CW. Why should we not assume that Tony hasn’t kept this same bond with Harley?
Also, how did he even get to the funeral? As far as I remember (and correct me if I’m wrong) neither Happy nor Pepper not anyone else has contact with the boy. The only explanation is that Tony talked about the boy. Tony still cared about Harley.
Also, even if they knew who he was, how did Pepper/Happy contact him? Tony Stark left them his contact. I can imagine it in his will: ‘If anything bad happens contact Harley at ***-***-****’.
So yeah, just because he faded away from the storyline doesn’t mean he wasn’t there. After all, how do you think Tony knew that Peter would be helpful, even though he was just a kid? Because a goddamn ten year old (I think?) helped him save the f*cking world.
Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED talk.
