Iron Man

"I am Iron Man." With these words, a B-list Marvel hero launched what would become the most successful film franchise in history. But back in 2008, nobody could have predicted what Iron Man would become.

This week, we dive deep into the film that started it all—exploring how Robert Downey Jr.'s perfect casting as Tony Stark created movie magic that transcended the superhero genre. What made this performance so special wasn't just RDJ's natural charisma, but how his own personal redemption story mirrored Tony's journey from weapons-dealing playboy to hero. The parallels are uncanny: a talented man hitting rock bottom, then rising from the ashes with newfound purpose.
