When it comes to ranking a superhero film, Marvel’s Iron Man is right on top, a film that has attracted its fans with some top-notch special effects, pulsating soundtracks and smart futuristic gadgets. Here are some lesser-known trivia about Iron man.
1. The Iron Man first appeared in 1963 through comic books released by Marvel Comics. The Academy Award nominee Robert Downey Jr. ad-libbed the very famous line “I am Iron Man”, using it for the final scene in the 2008 film.
2. The superhero Tony Stark’s Iron Man armoured outfit which is a bright red and gold suit consists of almost 450 separate pieces.
3. During the filming of the final battle, Tony in Iron Man suit is supposed to drive an Audi R8 that would crash on Iron Monger and flip. However, the car refused to flip because of its sturdy built quality, which forced the filmmakers to re-write the entire sequence.
4. Dr Otto Octavious aka Doc Ock from Spider-Man mythology was originally part of the script written for Iron Man in a limited capacity. Tony Stark was supposed to be the creator of Doc Ock’s infamous tentacles, but unfortunately, Marvel Studios did not have rights to the Spider-Man properties, which is owned by Sony, and it was written off from the script.
However, Disney and Sony have agreed to share the rights of these characters and Alfred Molina is set to reprise his role as Doc Ock from Spider-Man 2 in the upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home.
