Marvelathon! From First Suit To Captain America’s Disassembled Shield, Things To Look Out For In Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man

As it’s lockdown period, it’s never too late to start Marvelathon. If you have been planning to watch something different and interesting, but couldn’t make up your mind, it’s always good to try a genre you never had an interest in. I wasn’t into superhero films until 2019. But now, I know anything and everything about Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man and other MCU superheroes.

Even if you are a Marvel fan, you can still do a Marvelathon. As a fan, I’m sure you know the way filmmakers drop easter eggs in the films. We think we know everything about these films, but with every watch, something new comes to our notice. If you are still contemplating whether to start MCU marathon or not, do not worry. Today, I’ll give you a few reasons why you start watching Marvel films, starting with Iron Man. Starring Robert Downey Jr in the titular role (and as Tony Stark), this 2008 film has many interesting things which many of you might’ve missed earlier.

I’ve noted down a few pointers that I observed while watching this film. By reading it, I’m sure you’ll definitely rewatch Iron Man:

1. Ten Rings

The terrorist group that kidnaps Tony Stark in Afghanistan call themselves as ‘Ten Rings’. When they make a video in which Stark is sitting on his knees, you can see the symbol of Ten Rings in the background.

2. J.A.R.V.I.S

We all know J.A.R.V.I.S as Iron Man’s AI. He plays a key role in helping Stark fight the enemies. However, in the first film, he used to run Stark’s house.
