What Marvel fan would not want a replica of Iron Man’s helmet, and then secretly put it on? Not? Also fine. Anyone who has a lot of experience with Iron Man helmets is of course Robert Downey Jr. It turns out that his first encounter with a helmet was not a very positive one.
On the show My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman, Downey Jr. over his helmet Iron Man from 2008. “Everything was really there,” Downey explained. “They wanted to spend as little on CG images as possible. So I remember putting on the helmet … I put on the helmet and it slammed shut and I couldn’t see anything. And then LED lights came on and it was as the ‘Manchurian Candidate’. I was absolutely blinded. “
Did it get better later? No
“By the time we shot the last Avengers, they said to me ‘hey Robert you would mind about the […] helmet on? ‘ I said no, just put two dots here [op zijn hoofd] and then you can draw it on it later ‘, “ the actor added.
Of course, Iron Man’s suit increasingly became a digital version and that was of course also because his Mark 50 consisted of a nanotechnology and no longer of steel parts.
