Kickstarting the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in 2008, Iron Man has endured as a modern superhero classic and spawned many more sequels and crossover movies. If you have been a fan of Robert Downey Jr’s timeless character, we’ve got you covered with a guide on where to stream all the Iron Man movies in order.
How to watch the Iron Man movies in order
The Iron Man movies can be watched in the same order as their release date.
Jon Favreau’s Iron Man offers a straightforward origin story, tracing the evolution of “millionaire, playboy, genius” Tony Stark as a weapons dealer, a terrorist hostage, and later, an armored avenger.
Iron Man 2 raises the stakes by throwing in villains like the vengeance-seeking Russian Whiplash and weapons industry competitor Justin Hammer. Also supporting Iron Man this time are SHIELD head honcho Nick Fury and the future Avenger: Black Widow.
Iron Man 3 marked an emotional conclusion to the Iron Man trilogy, covering Stark’s post-traumatic stress after the events of The Avengers. While facing off against a global threat like Mandarin, Stark also encounters his own inner demons as he realises he’s not the hero who he once was.
Where can you stream the Iron Man movies?
You can’t watch the Iron Man movies on any OTT platforms in India but they are all available to rent on Google Play movies, YouTube movies, Amazon, Apple TV, and Tata Play.
What’s the future of Iron Man movies?
The MCU expands upon the Iron Man armors with the upcoming Disney series Ironheart. The 2024 release will focus on adolescent inventor RiRi Williams as she builds an armor from scratch, one that rivals Stark’s technology. Much like other Marvel Disney+ collaborations, Ironheart will be available to stream on Hotstar in India.
Ironheart will eventually give way to a movie sequel Armor Wars. Not much is known about the plot but the title suggests inspirations from the comic of the same name. That means, we are bound to get many more armored Avengers!
Are there any Iron Man TV shows to watch?
While not connected to the Iron Man trilogy and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iron Man has previously led two animated shows (both of which are standalone entries). The first is Iron Man from the 1990s, which you can watch today on Hotstar. Next in line is 2009’s 3D animated anime-inspired Iron Man: Armored Adventures that captures Stark in his younger years. You can watch the coming-of-age series on Netflix.
Is there any Iron Man anime to watch?
For the ones seeking more armored adventures, there’s also an Iron Man anime film titled Iron Man: Rise of Technovore. The direct-to-DVD film finds Iron Man framed by a technological terrorist as he attempts to clear his name. You can watch it for free on Jio Cinema.
