Since Avengers was basically Iron Man 3, lol

I too thought that the Arc Reactor cavity thing was a bit odd, and should have affected his spine. Also, the suits are all self-powering. He learned in the first movie that having the power source in your chest power both you and the suit simultaneously was a bad idea. He still did that strategy in Iron Man 2, but developed the Mark VII in Avengers so as to separate chest power from suit power.

Yeah, he will likely build a new house and new suits, though not as many. After all, he destroyed the suits that survived the fight so he'd have more time for Pepper.

My suspicion is that they'll try to ensure that he isn't in Avengers 2. They're giving Captain America and Thor each a second film because they only had one before Avengers. Meanwhile, Hawkeye and Black Widow have never had solo movies. Then there's Ant-Man and Wasp. And a whole universe of others who could use some adaptation. Not to mention that X-Men: Days of Future Past is going to retcon The Last Stand out of existence, putting the X-Men back in the game.

The Arc Reactor's cavity is not that deep.

Iron Man is way too pupular to not be in the Avengers 2, and as we were promised that "Tony Stark will return", and both Downey and Marvel Studios are unsure whether there's going to be Iron Man 4 or not...

I think Hawkeye and Black Widow were left out of solo movies because they aren't as popular as Marvel Studios would like them to be to make a movie.

And even in the X-Men are back in the game, they're also still with FOX...
