By Andie Hagemann

This weekend, we’re highlighting the man, the myth, the legend: Tony Stark! The marathon leads into The Wonderful World of Disney’s presentation of Iron Man on Sunday night. We have assembled here a list of four Marvel Studios films and series available to binge on Disney+.

In a scene from Marvel Studios’ Iron Man 2, actor and Disney Legend Robert Downey Jr. portrays Tony Stark/Iron Man. He sits in a packed courtroom and behind a tiny microphone. He wears a dark gray pinstripe suit, a tan button-down shirt, and a yellow and gray striped tie.

With the world now aware that he is Iron Man, billionaire inventor Tony Stark (Disney Legend Robert Downey Jr.) faces pressure from all sides to share his technology with the military. Tony is reluctant to disclose the secrets behind his armored suit, fearing the information will fall into the wrong hands. With Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) and James “Rhodey” Rhodes (Don Cheadle) by his side, Tony must forge new alliances and confront a powerful new enemy. The film also stars Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Samuel L. Jackson, Clark Gregg, John Slattery, Garry Shandling, and Disney Legend Jon Favreau (who also directs the film), to name a few.

In a scene from Marvel Studios’ Iron Man 3, a man wears a red, white, and blue suit of armor and walks next to a man holding an American flag.

Consumed with worry and insomnia since saving New York, Tony Stark (Downey) is more dependent on the suits that give him his Iron Man persona—so much so that every aspect of his life is affected, including his relationship with Pepper (Paltrow). After a malevolent rival known as the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) reduces his personal world to rubble, Tony must rely solely on instinct to avenge his losses and protect the people he loves.

In a scene from Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Civil War, actor and Disney Legend Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man sits at a wooden conference table and looks at actor Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America. Behind them are large TV screens displaying surveillance footage and clocks displaying various time zones.

After political pressure mounts to the creation of an accountability system for the Avengers, the team find themselves at an impasse. Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans) believes Super Heroes should remain free to defend humanity sans government interference, while Tony Stark/Iron Man (Downey Jr.) supports oversight. As the debate escalates into an all-out feud, Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) must pick a side. The star-studded cast includes Cheadle, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Elizabeth Olsen, Disney Legend Chadwick Boseman, Paul Rudd, Paul Bettany, Tom Holland, and Daniel Brühl, to name a few. 

In a scene from the animated Marvel Studios series What If..., Tony Stark shows Killmonger hologram designs for a super suit inside a large workroom.
