The Best Moment Of Every MCU Film - Ranked

21. Tony Stark In Court – Iron Man 2

Similarly to its sequel, there aren't many moments that truly stand out as great in Iron Man 2. As just the third movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the sequel to Iron Man represented the second MCU film to underwhelm, and was far behind the first movie in quality.

Though disappointing, it was still better than The Incredible Hulk. Sam Rockwell brought with him a lot of fun to the Justin Hammer role, and Tony's eccentric entrance to the Stark Expo to the sounds of AC/DC was great, but by far the best scene in the movie takes place in the court room.

Tony Stark is brought to a hearing regarding the safety and ownership of the Iron Man suit, and in spite of Hammer and Senator Stern trying to bring him down, the genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist is as sarcastic, egotistical, and impossibly charming as you would imagine.

Battles with drones and ridiculous Formula One races are one thing, but nothing throughout the biggest star of the MCU's second outing can top simply watching Tony Stark being Tony Stark - and completely showing up Justin Hammer in the process.
