What Figgy and me are saying is the Iron Patriot armor showing up in an Iron Man movie makes more sense and causes less drama than, say, Norman busting it out in Amazing Spider-Man 3. Which raises more questions? Stark armor in a Stark movie or it being in Spider-Man, which would look strange no matter what the 616 history says.
And there's a underlying thread of patriotism in the MCU, where an Iron Patriot appearance would yield 'good' drama - if anything but for the countless Cap references RDJ can improve in a post-Avengers period. Norman as Iron Patriot would make Reavant and 14 others feel good but I tell you it would not work.
It's Iron Patriot here or not at all in movies.
