The original Iron Man suit that Robert Downey Jr. wore in the 2008 movie has been stolen. The prop storage facility in Los Angeles has reported about the theft, stating that it went missing between February and April 25. They have considered it as a burglary.
The iconic maroon-gold suit was worn by Robert Downey Jr. in ‘Iron Man’ that released in 2008, directed by Jon Favreau. Iron Man was the movie that started off the behemoth that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has turned out to be, as the highest grossing film franchise in history.
The suit is valued at an estimated $325,000 (more than INR 2 Crores). Over the course of the movies and Iron Man’s appearances, however, the suit has undergone a major transformation. Starting from the solid AF DIY Mark , it transformed multiple times, according to the characteristics and specializations of the armors associated. In the latest appearance of Iron Man in ‘Avengers: Infinity War’, his suit was made out of nanobytes that could envelope his body with the touch of a button.
Well, all we can say is that it looks like the supervillains are at it again. Someone call JARVIS.
