Iron Man (2008): The Film That Saved Marvel

NOW AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE AT THE LINK BELOW!

Ben & Rob suit up for episode one of their MCU journey, with Jon Favreau’s 2008 instant-classic “Iron Man”. Starring Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges and Terrence Howard, this is the film that started the largest change in contemporary cinema culture since the invention of computer graphics. Iron Man, The Avengers, Thor, Captain America, Disney+ and the very concept of a multimedia franchise were all made household words thanks to this single film.

With Marvel betting their own survival against the success of this one movie, we take ourselves back to the film that started it all; how it affected us, the versions of the character we could have seen, and why its excellence endures to this day.

But what other actors were nearly Tony Stark? Did they know this was going to lead to four Avengers movies and an entire universe of branding? And will this episode being the first available on YouTube have totally derailed the show?!
