There’s scenes of alcohol use that may be hinting at addiction, including a scene early on that has Tony Stark drinking hard liquor mid-day on a work trip.
Alcoholism is a famous and integral part of the comic book version of the character, but whether it’s present in Iron Man or the broader marvel film universe is largely up to interpretation.

No but an older man is shown many times getting way into Tony’s personal space, often in creepy ways (buttoning up his shirt), and near the end uses a gang rape paralyzing machine to physically assault the main character and hurt him in a way that I won’t spoil but could be considered borderline intimate and definitely creepy

I’m not the biggest fan of the part where Pepper “operates” on Tony’s Arc Reactor but I wouldn’t call it body horror.

At least two people are affected at different times by a device that causes paralysis for a time, at least once with little to no warning, once to a main character.

The entire MCU is not emethophobe safe, Age of Ultron has a scene, and so do both of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. Some other movies may have scenes as well, it's best to check before watching any movie or series.

Main character dramatically breaks a mirror that shows their reflection; there is no injury or traditional self-harm shown but the emotional beats (self-loathing) combined with the destruction of property might ring close for some viewers.

Theirs a scene where the main character tony stark comes to a air force hanger to meet with his friend roddy. Roddy is giving a speech to his soldiers and tony comes in to make a joke where roddy slept with a “man”who dressed as a women and it was a mistake. Roddy then denies it telling him to stop because they’ll believe it. As a trans woman this was very upsetting and offensive and it hurt to see what use to be my favorite super hero when I was a child say that. The scene isn’t that long and can be easily skipped

The villains (aside from Stane) are the “Middle Eastern/Muslim terrorist” stereotype. Most women aside from Pepper Potts are either sexualized and/or unimportant both to the lead and the narrative.
