Fan CastingThe Invincible Iron Man

Years ago, Tony Stark, a billionaire playboy and visionary industrial genius, traveled with his father, Howard, in war-torn Kunar, Afghanistan. During a presentation, terrorists known as the "Ten Rings" kidnapped them, forcing them to build weapons. Tony, critically injured by shrapnel near his heart, was saved by his father, who built an Arc Reactor. Together, they created a suit of armor to escape, but Howard was killed during the attempt, leaving Tony to flee alone. Back in New York, Tony announced Stark Industries would cease weapon production, choosing instead to right his wrongs by continuing his father's legacy and becoming the hero Iron Man. In Russia, disgraced scientist Anton Vanko, enraged by Stark Industries' success, decides to build his own suit of armor. Meanwhile, Tony falls into a downward spiral haunted by his father's death and dark revelations about Howard's past. Nick Fury intervenes, urging Tony to stop Vanko and make amends. Reconnecting with friends Pepper, Rhodey, and J.A.R.V.I.S, Tony rebuilds his suit and his purpose. However, Vanko attacks, leading to a fierce battle that ends with Tony defeating him and reaffirming his commitment to heroism. Despite a cover story provided by S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony publicly declares, "I am Iron Man," embracing his identity and responsibility.
