What's left behind the scenes

  • The design for the 'Mark III' suit was created by Phil Saunders and Adi Granov (comic book artist for Iron Man). The suit itself was then constructed by Stan Winston Studios.
  • Robert Downey Jr., after finishing filming on June 26, 2007, was involved in an 8-month process with special effects to accurately capture all of Iron Man's movements.
  • Pepper Potts uses an LG KS20 phone. Tony Stark – an LG VX9400. James Rhodes – an LG KG810.
  • The final battle resembles a fight between Robocop and the metal drug dealer Cain from the film "Robocop 2" (1990).
  • This is the first film fully financed by Marvel Studios.
  • Jon Favreau decided to film in California because he believed too many superhero films had been shot on the East Coast, particularly in New York.
  • Nicolas Cage and Tom Cruise were interested in playing Iron Man. In particular, Tom Cruise planned to produce and star in the film.
  • Following tradition, comic book author Stan Lee appeared in a cameo: he plays a man the protagonist mistakenly believes to be Hugh Hefner – the creator of "Playboy".
  • The musical theme from the cartoon "Invincible Iron Man" (1966) is repeatedly featured in the film (casino, bedroom scene, and as Rhodey's ringtone).
  • Howard Hughes, the inventor, served as the prototype for Tony Stark.
  • During the filming of the tank scene, the filmmakers broke a camera.
  • Paul Bettany voiced all of Jarvis's lines in 2 hours.
  • Initially, the Mandarin was supposed to be the main villain, but Jon Favreau considered him too fantastical and outdated. Had the Mandarin appeared in the film, he would have been portrayed as an Indonesian terrorist.
  • Clive Owen and Sam Rockwell were considered for the role of Tony Stark.
  • A video game with the same name as the film was created.
  • Gwyneth Paltrow agreed to the role of Virginia 'Pepper' Potts on the condition that filming with her participation would take place close to her home. As a result, Paltrow could get to the set in 15 minutes.
  • While preparing for the role of Tony Stark, Robert Downey Jr. based his portrayal on the image of American billionaire, inventor, and philanthropist Elon Musk, who, among other things, is the owner or founder of companies such as PayPal, SpaceX, and Tesla Motors.
  • Rachel McAdams was John Favreau's first choice for the role of Pepper Potts, but she turned down the offer.
  • The film's script was not fully completed when filming began, as the filmmakers were more focused on the story and action, so the dialogue was often filmed improvisationally. Jon Favreau admitted that this made the film more natural. Some scenes were shot with two cameras to capture the dialogue improvised on set. Robert very often asked to reshoot the same scene several times, as he wanted to try something new. On the other hand, it was a difficult time for Gwyneth Paltrow, who tried to match her actions and words with Robert's performance in order not to break character and get into the moment, as she never knew what he might say.
  • Tony Stark's computer system is called J.A.R.V.I.S. This is a tribute to Edwin Jarvis, Howard Stark's butler. It was modified into an artificial intelligence to avoid comparison with Bruce Wayne’s butler – Alfred Pennyworth.
  • It took about seventeen years for the film to finally get off the ground. Initially, Universal Pictures was supposed to produce the film in April 1990. They later sold the rights to 20th Century Fox. Fox later sold the rights to New Line Cinema. Finally, Marvel Studios decided to take and independently develop their own creation.
  • There is a small bonus scene after the credits. Samuel L. Jackson appears in it as Nick Fury.
  • In the scene where Pepper discovers Tony filming the armor in the workshop, Captain America's shield can be seen, which Tony Stark used to prop up his setup in the second part of Iron Man.
  • In the early minutes of the film, when Tony Stark falls into the hands of terrorists and a ransom is demanded for him, a stretched canvas can be noticed in the background, featuring symbols used in "Iron Man 3" (2013) before the Mandarin's broadcast begins.
  • Jon Favreau wanted Robert Downey Jr. to play the role of Stark because he felt that the actor's past was precisely the experience needed for the role. He commented: "Robert’s best and worst moments in life – they all happened in public. He had to find inner balance to overcome obstacles that went far beyond his career. That’s Tony Stark. Robert brings a depth to the character that goes beyond the typical comic book hero with high school problems or a failed relationship." Favreau also felt that Robert could make Stark a "lovable rogue," but at the same time portray a genuine emotional journey once his character captures the audience's attention.
  • The film states that Tony Stark graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with honors. In reality, MIT does not award diplomas with honors. Additionally, Rhodes wears a ring with the institute's emblem, traditionally worn by undergraduates with the emblem facing downwards. It is possible that Rhodes and Stark met while studying.
  • In the film, Yin Sen pours molten palladium into a vat, shown as reddish-orange. In reality, liquid palladium glows yellow-white.
  • The terrorist leader Raza claims that the empire of Genghis Khan was twice as large as that of Alexander the Great and four times the size of the Roman Empire. In fact, Genghis Khan's state reached approximately five times the size of the Roman Empire and six times larger than the kingdom of Alexander.
  • Tony Stark's mini-nuclear reactor generates 7 GJ/s of energy. If all this energy were directed into a conventional electromagnet, it would melt (and even vaporize) instantly, let alone being worn in the chest.
  • Tony Stark miraculously converts electrical energy directly into reactive thrust. This is physically impossible, as these two forces have a completely different nature.
  • When Stark builds his flight stabilizer (hand nozzle), the film demonstrates it firing with strong recoil. However, when Stark (while in flight) shoots at his own rockets with his hands, he doesn't even flinch.
  • When the terrorist leader who captured Stark threatens Yinsen with a heated piece of metal, that piece glows like a glass bulb with a light inside, rather than like a piece of hot metal (uniformly, across the entire surface, and cooling quickly).
  • When Stark drives to the banquet in an Audi, there is no front license plate, but when he arrives, the license plate is shown in close-up.
  • Following a well-established tradition, comic book author Stan Lee made a cameo appearance: he plays a man whom the protagonist mistakenly believes to be Hugh Hefner – the creator of “Playboy.”
  • In the first few minutes of the film, when Tony Stark is captured by terrorists and a ransom is demanded for him, a stretched canvas with symbols used in “Iron Man 3” (2013) before the Mandarin’s broadcast can be seen in the background.
  • Jon Favreau wanted Robert Downey Jr. to play the role of Stark because he felt that the actor’s past was precisely the experience needed for the role. He commented: “Robert’s best and worst moments in life – all happened in the public eye. He had to find inner balance to overcome obstacles that went far beyond his career. That is Tony Stark. Robert brings a depth to the character that goes beyond the typical comic book hero with problems in high school or a failed relationship with a girl.” Favreau also felt that Robert could make Stark a “lovable rogue,” but at the same time portray a genuine emotional journey once his character captured the audience’s attention.
