Seventeen years ago Iron Man was released in cinemas worldwide by Paramount. Based on Marvel comics, it launched an entire cinematic universe, beginning with the story of Tony Stark.
Captured by terrorists, the charismatic and brilliant billionaire refuses to give up and builds a suit that helps him escape from the cave — unaware of who betrayed him and why he was meant to die.
All of us have moments in life when we turn our path around 180 degrees, realizing that we had been wrong before. For Tony Stark, those dark nights in the cave brought this realization. From that point on, he decided to stop manufacturing weapons and instead began building his Iron suit.
Sweet Pepper Potts, Tony’s longtime friend Rhodey, his father’s old associate Obadiah, and of course young Agent Phil Coulson — who would all go on to become part of a vast cinematic universe — had no idea of what was to come. After all, the film itself was practically made on the fly, full of improvisations, rewrites, and last-minute changes, to the point where even Jeff Bridges complained about the process.
Robert Downey Jr. revived his career with this role, portraying not only on screen but in real life the story of a man who transforms himself, refuses to surrender, and is always ready to speak the truth — as if he were made not of flesh, but of the strongest iron in the world.
