That was really spectacular, so there's sort of an expectation that we're going to take the suit to another level. With the Mark VII, there were a couple of elements that were already written into the script. The design always starts from the script. [Director] Joss Whedon was looking for something that had the "cool" factor of the suitcase suit, while still being a fully-armored, heavy duty suit that could take on an army in the final battle.
