MTV was chatting with War Machine co-creator Bob Layton and it seems that there are hints in Iron Man 2 that might lead up to a Demon in a Bottle storyline in Iron Man 3.
Now I didn’t realize they were already writing 3 (since I assume Avengers will fit in between) but Layton seems convinced it could happen.

“I think they’ve come up with a terrific segue to the third film, which I think is going to be fairly powerful,” he said. “My understanding is that the third film could very well be the ‘Demon in a Bottle’ story mixed in there with everything and I’m kind of looking forward to that, if that’s where they wind up going.”
I hope they build up into a solid Demon storyline. Its what Iron Man was made for. Its the most meaningful and notable storyline in all of the Iron Man books.
It was the thing that even made me pay attention to the character to begin with.
And they are planting the seeds effectively with Tony already having a penchant for the wobbly drinks. Its an easy fallback when the stress lays on thick.
It defines Stark and gives heart to the character instead of just a careless millionaire in a suit made of kickass.
I really hope they pull this storyline out when it will matter. Don’t rush it, make it right.
