Episode 1: Iron Man (2008)

Welcome to the first actual episode of Box of Scraps. In this episode, we take a brief look at the previous attempts to adapt the Iron Avenger on film, how Robert Downey Jr. was almost NOT Tony Stark, and how the Marvel Cinematic Universe began.

We also get into the nitty-gritty about the mythologising around the claim of ‘Iron Man had no script,' (Spoilers: It did, and I’ve read it), and briefly touch on how the franchise - and our namesake - was assembled with nothing but a box of scraps (and $500m from Merrill Lynch).

Join us on this wild ride, won’t you? If you haven't listened to episode #0, we highly recommend listening to it, as it provides tons of backstory about how Marvel Studios was founded. Plus it's got some great stories :)
