As a director with a stellar filmography that includes films like Fruitvale Station and Black Panther, it’s easy to forget that Ryan Coogler is a relative newcomer when it comes to big blockbusters and the film industry in general. It’s also hard to imagine that when the first Iron Man came out he was, like many of us, just a fan who was excited to see the Armored Avenger on the big screen for the first time.
But Coogler hasn't forgotten this fact, as a new video sees the director sitting alongside Jon Favreau and discussing the first time he saw Iron Man. He specifically recalls being awed by the detail put into the hero’s armor and the moment he saw the film at the Arclight theater.
This conversation between the Marvel Studios directors is just a clip from the roundtable discussion attached to digital copies of Avengers: Infinity War, and the full bonus feature will see other Marvel heavyweights like the Russo Brothers, Peyton Reed and Joss Whedon chime in.
