Iron Man: 15 Years Later with Kevin Feige and Jon Favreau

Jon Favreau deserves so much more praise for his part in launching the biggest film franchise in history.

This film was the beginning of everything. I miss the Iron Man/Avengers era so much!! 😭😭

Casting RDJ as Stark is the best casting choice they ever made. Thanks for giving us 15 years of laughter, excitement and sobbing 🥰

This conversation was a real joy to watch. I’m always impressed with how down to earth and honest Kevin is and Jon’s excitement to talk about his own contributions is kinetic.

I love how Clark Gregg got his job just because he was the director's neighbour. And then that led to one of the best Marvel TV shows

Iron man literally created and carried the mcu for 15 years. Props to marvel for creating such a huge film series, and props to iron man for carrying it 🎉

It’s very telling when they say RDJ was up with them at two in the morning brainstorming rewrites and such. RDJ was so invested and that really shines through.

I was at that Comic Con where they first showed the footage - it was unreal - folks there lost their minds, and they weren’t Marvel Stans yet… we all knew we witnessed something incredible. And there was a genuine encore to show it again. It was glorious. So nice seeing Jon get the respect he deserves for setting the tone for the MCU.

I really wish they would’ve brought this gem back in theaters for the 15th anniversary. 😢

15 years later...and its still one of the BEST Marvel Studios Productions EVER... Favreu the G.O.A.T 🔥⚡

Jon’s focus on physical effects with Stan Winston’s creative team was the winning combination. Robert Downey Jr. walked the line (balance) between comedy and drama (he loved it).

The "cheer moment" for me was when Stark rescues the villagers, leaves them the bad guy, and says, "He's all yours". People cried out "YEAH!" in the theatre. Here's to the next 15 indeed!

I'd like to see more of this where Kevin Feige sits with every MCU director in an interview like this. You get to learn more about the behind of the scenes not talked in detail and some really good one to one conversations.

I was 7 years old when the first Iron Man came out, I'm now 22. I have grown up with these characters always in my life and I've cheered and cried for them. Seeing Tony's heroic sacrifice shook me and I'll never forget how I felt among all my friends in a packed theater as tears streamed down my face as I watched my childhood hero die and everyone say goodbye to him. I'll always have a special place in my heart for Iron Man. Corny I know but I grew up with the guy in a weird way and he had always kinda been there so when he died it was such a gut punch for me.

Kevin Feige and Jon Favreau are like the Stan Lee and Jack Kirby of Marvel Studios. Even if they aren't around in another 10-15 years doing stuff with Marvel, the stories and characters will continue to thrive under new direction.

Fun fact: This film is in the National Film Registry and is being preserved for being historically, culturally or aesthetically significant. 👍

I can’t believe it’s been 15 years. I still remember watching Iron Man as a child, understanding nothing but flashes and magic. And as we grew older, it all made much more sense. Nostalgia 🥺

I was 9 years old when Iron-Man was released in 2008. I’m 24 now. What a MARVELous journey it has been.

One of my film school professors used Iron Man to help teach how a three act structure works in a movie. Very well made movie and incredibly iconic.

What a great segment. Love how natural the conversation between Kevin and Jon is. Way to go Marvel.
