I'm not so sure if it had anything to do with Hasbro. During the script writing phase of Iron Man 3, the original villain was intended to be female, but it was not allowed to get the green light unless the gender was swapped.

Quote from Shane Black: “We had finished the script and we were given a no holds barred memo saying that cannot stand and we’ve changed our minds because, after consulting, we’ve decided that toy won’t sell as well if it’s a female. So, we had to change the entire script because of toy-making. Now, that’s not [Marvel Studios president Kevin] Feige. That’s Marvel corporate.”
