The third film in the Marvel Movie Order.

A fan favourite with some A-list actors finally being introduced (Mickey Rourke as Whiplash). Tony’s character sees development as he struggles with the reality of becoming Iron Man.

Iron Man 2 is a revenge story: The son of a disgraced physicist (who once worked with Howard Stark) attempts to ruin Tony Stark’s reputation, but in the grand scheme of the MCU, the movie is marked by the introduction of two new characters: a new James Rhodes (now played by Don Cheadle) and also the first appearance of Black Widow. It also leads directly into Thor as S.H.I.E.L.D. representative Phil Coulson belongs to New Mexico to research Thor’s hammer Mjølnir.
