Speaking to MTV News, the actor - who plays colonel James Rhodes in the film - joked that the characters will appear after the end credits, working in a diner.
"Thor and Hulk both make an appearance in this film. They work at a diner," he said. "You heard it hear first. Thor is actually in the movie. He eats Tony Stark. He consumes him into his God-like belly and spews him into the world. He turns into stars actually.
"It's a strange twist. I don't know that they're going to stay with it. It may not make it to the final cut, but it was cool to see filmed."
Although Cheadle's remarks were made in jest, they support previous speculation that the Thunder God will be referenced in the update as a means of garnering anticipation for 2011's Thor movie.
Colonel James Rhodes, who was portrayed by Terrence Howard in the original Iron Man, will don his own suit of weaponised armour in the sequel, becoming the hero War Machine.
