![]() Now that the world knows that billionaire industrialist Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is Iron Man, Tony seeks to underscore the benefits of the Iron Man suit by re-launching his late father's extravagant Stark Expo, a showcase for the humanitarian innovations inspired by its technology. As the U.S. government insists that Tony turn the revolutionary weapon over to the military, Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke), a mysterious figure from the Stark family's past, sets out to destroy Tony by revealing his own devastating weapon based on Stark's technology.
Overwhelmed on all fronts, while also facing his own personal demons, Tony must finally call on his allies - old and new - to help him confront the gathering forces that threaten to destroy him and all of mankind.
One of the original Marvel Comics, Iron Man has enjoyed a long and prosperous run dating back to the character's first appearance in the Marvel comic Tales of Suspense in April 1963. Iron Man's alter ego, Tony Stark, became an overnight film sensation on May 2nd, 2008 when the film grossed $98.6 million in its opening weekend on its way to an eventual take of more than $572 million worldwide. Fans and critics of all ages were enamored with the red and gold super hero. The film received many awards and accolades, including two Academy Award nominations, and “Iron Man” has since become part of the pop culture mainstream.
