The film that started it all for Marvel, that ushered in the age of superhero films at an unprecedented rate and solidified Robert Downey Jr. as a global superstar is 2008’s “Iron Man.” Directed by Jon Favreau, the film is the origin story of who would quickly become Marvel’s most beloved movie character.
Iron Man tells the story of Tony Stark, a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor who is kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon. Instead, using his intelligence and ingenuity, Tony builds a high-tech suit of armor and escapes captivity. When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armor and vows to protect the world as Iron Man.
We loved and STILL love this film so it seemed only fitting that we celebrate it with a post featuring tribute posters from artists who feel the same as we do. Here are a couple of the official posters followed by this week’s Alternative Movie Poster Monday reveals.
