Frequently asked questions
How many Iron Man movies are there?
Three: Iron Man (2008), Iron Man 2 (2010) and Iron Man 3 (2013). Robert Downey Jr. plays Tony Stark in all three. The short All Hail the King (2014) follows on from Iron Man 3.
Do I need to watch Iron Man before The Avengers?
It helps. Iron Man and Iron Man 2 introduce Tony Stark, Nick Fury and Black Widow, who all come together in The Avengers.
Do I need to watch Iron Man 3 before Age of Ultron?
It is not required. Iron Man 3 shows Tony struggling after the Battle of New York, and that fear drives him to build Ultron in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
