Every Jon Favreau Movie Ranked From Worst To Best
1. Iron Man (2008)
To put it simply, without Iron Man there simply wouldnt be a Marvel Cinematic Universe, and without Robert Downey Jr, there arguably wouldnt be a successful Iron Man franchise. In that respect, bringing in the charismatic, troubled actor and convincing Marvel to forego their concerns about him might be Favreaus greatest single achievement.
In the great vein of Favreaus leading characters, Downey Jrs Stark is a broken toy, but utterly charming and the directors decision to focus more on building the brand of the character rather than a distracting spectacular story was inspired.
The film might not be one of the best in the franchise, but it introduced the best performance and propelled a supposedly B-level superhero towards becoming a legitimate billion dollar concern. It was a star-making job for the director and the perfect resurrection for Downey Jr, packed with the character building and charm that has so far defined Favreaus career.
