Before Iron Man (2008), Marvel Studios was nearly bankrupt. Robert Downey Jr. was considered “uninsurable” by studios. Jon Favreau fought the studio to cast him anyway because Tony Stark’s flaws mirrored RDJ’s real life. Iron Man didn’t make RDJ iconic. RDJ made Iron Man impossible to replace.

Robert Downey Jr. was originally meant to have a smaller role in Captain America: Civil War, but pushed for it to feel more like “Avengers 2.5.” Former Marvel chairman Ike Perlmutter tried cutting Robert Downey Jr. from the movie to save $40M, despite the movie earning $1.15B worldwide. The situation nearly made Kevin Feige quit, until Bob Iger stepped in and removed Perlmutter’s control over Marvel Studios.

But honestly, Jon Favreau and I were both hungry to do something that would make an impact.

Jeff Bridges says making Iron Man felt like working on a "$200 million student film." Bridges says many scenes didn't have finished scripts when the cast arrived on set. > "We would often come to work, and there would be no script for that scene that day." He says he, Robert Downey Jr., and Jon Favreau would gather in his trailer to figure the scenes out together. > "I'd say, 'Rob, you play me, and I'll play your guy.'" Bridges says Favreau would even call writer friends looking for ideas while the crew waited to film. The uncertainty made him anxious until he changed his perspective. > "Jeff, will you please relax?" > "You are making a $200 million student film." He says that mindset helped everyone embrace the improvisation. > "Great stuff bubbled up out of it."

Robert Downey Jr coming back to the MCU as Doctor Doom is funny when you realise he died as Tony Stark to save Spider-Man just to comeback and send him back to Tony! 💀😂 And to everyone that's not happy with the casting just know there's actually an alternative universe in comics where Ironman and Doctor Doom swap bodies, so it makes sense.

The connection between Elon Musk and Tony Stark is a piece of a Hollywood history. When Director Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. were building the live-action of Tony Stark for the 2008 Iron Man movie, they ran into a problem: the comic book version was a classic Cold War industrialist. To make him feel fresh and modern, they needed a real-life blueprint. RDJ personally requested a meeting with Elon Musk. He spent time with him at the SpaceX facility in California to observe how a contemporary tech billionaire actually speaks, moves, and handles his workspace. RDJ noticed that Musk didn’t act like a traditional, rigid corporate CEO; he had an eccentric, hyper-focused energy and worked right alongside his engineers in the shop. Elon Musk made a brief cameo appearance as himself in Iron Man 2.
