And.

You know, we looked at a one minute version, a five minute version, a ten minute version, a 15 minute, 20 minute like we tried all these things out to see what was better and we wanted to make it less so the movie wouldn't be so long.

But that.

You know that felt like the best way to do it When the reveal the Iron Man suit was a big decision And we had a lot of disagreements with people people said you need to show it in the first half hour You know people don't want to wait an hour to see it but we don't reveal it till pretty much the Into act two and that was a risk but

We felt at the time that, and I strongly felt this, that the first act of Iron Man is the only place where you see Robert Downey, you see Tony Stark before he's Iron Man in all his proud and unproud things.

And that's the chance for people to connect with Tony Stark.

And if we don't have that connection, we don't have the foundation for the rest of the years and years of the MCU.

And that people wouldn't leave the theater.

And one of the nice things about theaters is very rarely do people get up and leave.

So whether they like it or not,

they're gonna see the Iron Man suit a little bit later, and at that point, they've been looking forward to it, it's even more exciting, because they had to wait, you know?

So decisions like that, we were equally sort of very detail-focused on.

And that's the same thing for your influence, all the conversation you're having out there, and is it okay, Dave, if I ask a question of the audience, and there's two other quick categories I wanna touch on, if you don't mind.

Please, anything.

So I think this has some relevance and fun for a conversation Dave and I were having,

Is anybody here a Batman fan?

If you are, say yes.

Okay, and only please weigh in on this if you have like familiarity with what I'm sharing, right?

So who is your favorite Batman actor?

Don't say it.
