15 years ago, “Iron Man” was released in theaters - and it was the Marvel Studios movie that not only made Robert Downey Jr. into Tony Stark and the Armored Avenger, but jumpstarted the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it today! Directed by Jon Favreau, this superhero movie was instrumental in turning the then B-list Marvel superhero into a household name, and with his own solo film began “The Infinity Saga” - which played out in three phases that lead to the formation of the Avengers and introduced more heroes that converged to fight against Thanos as he wielded the might of the Infinity Stones!
As someone who saw it in theaters when it opened in April 30, 2008 in the Philippines (it opened on May 2 of that year in the US), I can’t believe we’ve come this far with the MCU and how this film has stood the test of time and remained one of my favorite superhero movies! I’ve collected toys, books, souvenirs, and yes even the poster from the film - and it remains timeless parts of my collection to this day.
