Alla vet vi hur bra den är, Marvel Studios start på den 23 filmer långa följetong som kulminerade med Endgame och alla vet vi hur viktig den var för genren i sig. När den skulle produceras var det dock inte många som verkligen trodde på vare sig idén, karaktären, Downey, regissören Jon Favreau eller på storyn som de avsåg att berätta. teamet fick två miljarder kronor från studion och improviserade sedan fram stora delar av dialogen. Detta har Robert nu pratat lite mer ingående om i en intervju med CB och tydligen var det helt enkelt inte särskilt många som brydde sig om detta "experiment".
"Well, I mean, first of all, because not too many people were thinking that Iron Man was even going to have an opening weekend or do much of anything, so we were a little bit left alone. I find out more every day about how that thing was financed, it was basically ready to be written off if it tanked. And so anyway, it was the perfect thing where there were not a lot of creatively aggressive eyes on us. And by the time they gave it to us, it was like united artists, like the lunatics took over the asylum. And I remember Jeff Bridges, too, he was like, 'Man, we're doing a $200 million independent movie, man.' And there was just that sense that, of course, it was much more organized." Länk
