Instruction manual
1
The idea to shoot a film on the Iron Man comics arose back in the 1990s, and three companies started creating it at once: New Line Cinema, Universal Studios and 20th Century Fox. In 2006, Marvel Studios bought the rights to shoot, and Iron Man became the first independent project of this company. And the director of the future film, John Favreau, began to select suitable actors.

Many applicants have tried for the role of the main character, Tony Stark, including Nicolas Cage, Sam Rockwell and Clive Owen. Tom Cruise was also interested in getting the role and even planned to sponsor the picture on his own, but in the end the charismatic Robert Downey Jr. became Iron Man. The second main role in the film was almost immediately given to Gwyneth Paltrow.

To enter the role of a millionaire inventor, Robert Downey Jr. for a long time studied the lifestyle and habits of personalities such as Elon Musk and Howard Hughes, who are known as versatile entrepreneurs who have created several large companies and received worldwide recognition. After filming, the actor himself took part in working with special effects for more than six months and made sure that the movements of Iron Man were conveyed exactly.

Filming the film did not do without the participation of the creators of the original comic book. Adi Granov helped develop the prototype of the suit "Mark 3", which was ultimately created from metal and rubber components, and Stan Lee starred in a cameo role.

Critics rated the film positively, and he was even nominated for the Academy Award nominations for Best Sound Editing and Best Visual Effects, but other applicants eventually won the award. The success of the first picture allowed the creators to remove the sequel and triquel.
