Iron Man’s Role in Avengers & Infinity

Iron Man 3 is taking over the world and Tony Stark is playing a critical role in Marvel’s next big comic book epic! Tony stars in Avengers and New Avengers as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and the Illuminati fight to protect our world from alternative worlds obliterating ours. Both team books are building up to Infinity in which the Marvel Universe battles Thanos.

Writer Jonathan Hickman explains why Tony’s role in the three books with Comic Book Resources:

“I think Tony Stark is a futurist and a pragmatist, a builder and Continue reading Iron Man’s Role in Avengers & Infinity

IRON MAN Is Marvel’s James Bond?

As Iron Man 3 dominates the global box-office fans wonder if Robert Downey Jr will return as Tony Stark in Avengers 2 or a possible Iron Man 4. The acclaimed actor recently talked about his future after the latest film in GQ.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige compares Stark to James Bond and speculates on Downey’s future as the Armored Avenger in a Huffington Post story:

“Well, look, I don’t think Robert will be playing this character for another 30 years, and I certainly hope the character stays in movies for the next 30 years — just like James Bond. I would say before George Lazenby and Roger Moore, Sean Connery was James Bond. It will take a while to fill any shoes, whether it’s filmmaker shoes or writer shoes or certainly actor shoes. I think Tony Stark Continue reading IRON MAN Is Marvel’s James Bond?

IRON MAN Stark Family Secrets!

Robert Downey Jr. plays the Armored Avenger in a clash with the Mandarin in Iron Man 3 opening this Friday on the big screen.

In the comic books this week writer Kieron Gillen begins exploring The Secret Origin of Tony Stark. The acclaimed writer recently sent Tony into deep space in the Godkiller arc and now brings Avenger down to Earth and starts uncovering the Stark family history.

“There’s a really big idea at the core of it. When I had that idea, I was walking around the airport. I was thinking about Tony in space. Marvel had just emailed me and said that the 50th anniversary [of Iron Man] is coming up and maybe we can have a story that harks back to the beginning of Tony. I was immediately thinking “how on Earth could I possibly do this?” I have Tony Stark in deep space at this point! I stopped and laughed. I shook my head and took a couple of steps. I pitched this really big idea and Marvel looked it and said it make sense. And that’s what’s scary about it. It leads towards stuff that fundamentally changes Tony’s idea of self. That’s where it kind of came from,” Gillen told Marvel.com.

“The problem is that Continue reading IRON MAN Stark Family Secrets!

IRON MAN Rewriting History

Robert Downey Jr. plays the Armored Avenger in Iron Man 3 next week while The Secret Origin of Tony Stark begins in the Iron Man comic book. In other Marvel films like Captain America: The First Avenger we saw Tony’s dad playing a role with the U.S. military.

Kieron Gillen and Dale Eaglesham explores the past of Howard and Maria Stark. Some fans may worry that the upcoming arc will change continuity. Marvel Editor in Chief Axel Alonso took on those concerns on Comic Book Resources.

“Let’s be clear about one thing: This story doesn’t totally change Tony Stark’s origin. It reveals a heretofore-unrevealed pocket in his origin that, shall we say, deeply illuminates who he is and his relationship with his mother and his father. It also introduces a major new character who’ll be very important to Tony’s future — I can’t emphasize enough how important. You will look at Tony very differently at the end of the story.

The Secret Origin of Tony Stark begins next week in Iron Man #9.
