That’s probably key, with a looming payoff (the “no helmet” thing).

It’ll come off at some point, by his own choice or otherwise. Beyond that, the rule probably doesn’t apply to alone, quiet time. At some point he can be shown flying his ship or whatever, sans helmet.

They’re not going to have a TV show, with possible multiple seasons, where the lead actor is never shown. Just doesn’t happen. All these comic book movies do all they can to destroy masks/helmets so you can see Downey, Keaton, McGuire, etc. The helmet/mask ialways comes off by the third act. Plus, that’s good shorthand - show, don’t tell - that he’s softening/comfortable in the presence of baby frog...making the little guy’s eventual demise that much more heartbreaking.

The helmet probably goes back on, for good, at that point. And God help anyone who looks at him wrong.
