Iron Man Trailer Reaction | 2008 MCU Movie Re-Watch

Iron Man is more than 13 years old already, having released in 2008 and launching the Marvel Cinematic Universe which we know today. At the time, the Avengers had not yet assembled and it was completely unknown that Thor was flying through the universe with his magic hammer and Captain America was frozen under ice. It was simply the debut of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, the billionaire who got trapped in a cave and built a suit of armor to escape. He went on to become Iron Man. The first trailer for the film is quite the throwback, so the Phase Zero crew took a second look more than a decade later.

In the video above, Brandon Davis and Jenna Anderson watch the trailer for 2008's Iron Man movie together, reflecting on the film and reacting to what the trailer has to offer. Given Iron Man was not the only Marvel movie to release in 2008, the Phase Zero duo decided to also take a look at the trailer for the same year's The Incredible Hulk. One trailer seems to have been a bit better than the other, as opinions in the video above show. Watch the video for some throwback trailers and reactions above or on the official Phase Zero YouTube channel.
