4 Canceled Iron Man Movies You Should Know About

Iron Man is the prime member of the team Avengers. The popular Hollywood actor Robert Downey Jr. has played the role of Tony Stark/Iron Man in all the Iron Man and Avengers films. Tony Stark was first introduced as a superhero to the fans in the film Iron Man, which was directed by Jon Favreau and released in 2008. Iron Man was a blockbuster and the first movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Later Tony Stark joined the Avengers and gained a lot of fame and popularity from there.

Tony Stark could have appeared even before the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and several attempts have been made to release Tony on the big screen, but somehow all the plans got canceled. It is hard to imagine an Iron Man movie without Robert Downey Jr. playing the role of Tony Stark/Iron Man in that movie. But there were several chances to release Iron Man at an early stage, but it did not happen.

Here we will discuss all four canceled movies of the Iron Man and why they were canceled.

Stuart Gordon’s Iron Man

The starting stage of Marvel in the Hollywood film industry was full of struggles, and they faced several obstacles in releasing their movies on the big screen. When James Cameron’s Spider-Man was canceled, at the same time, Universal wanted to make a low-budget Iron Man movie with Stuart Gordon as the director of the movie. The story of this Iron Man was written by Ed Neumeier.

Fox’s Iron Man (Starring Tom Cruise)

Universal had the rights to the Iron Man movie since 1990, and after six years, Universal gave up making an Iron Man movie and sold their rights to Fox in 1996. The writer Jeff Vintar along with Stan Lee, wrote a new story for a new Iron Man movie starring Tom Cruise because he wanted to work in an Iron Man movie. Later, Cruise denied working in this film for some reason, and after the release of Robert Downey’s Iron Man, he told people in an interview that Robert is his favorite and no one could ever replace him as the Iron Man.
