Marvel Animation
- Iron Man has been featured in Ultimate Avengers (an animated direct-to-video adaptation of the Ultimates produced by Marvel Entertainment and Lions Gate Films) voiced by Marc Worden. Although based on Ultimate Iron Man, the animated version's identity is not a matter of public record, and, as in main Marvel Universe continuity, he is afflicted with a heart condition rather than a brain tumor. In the first film he is reluctant to join the Avengers, but later becomes a full time member. Marvel/Lions Gate released Ultimate Avengers 2 on August 8, 2006. In the second film Iron Man's old armor is ruined, so he uses the War Machine armor.
- Marc Worden reprises his role of Iron Man in The Invincible Iron Man. The film does much of a changed origin where Tony Stark is taken to China. There he meets Li Mei, and with Rhodey builds a suit of armor. As Iron Man he takes down four elementals attempting to resurrect his arch enemy, the Mandarin who in this incarnation is a Kahgan who has been deceased for many centuries.
- An elderly Iron Man also appears in the alternate universe Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow voiced by Tom Kane. He takes the children of the Avengers to a safe place where Ultron will not find them.
- Tony Stark (voiced again by Marc Worden) makes a brief appearance in the Planet Hulk animated movie.
- Iron Man will appear as a central character in Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United. Adrian Pasdar will reprise his role as Tony Stark from Ultimate Spider-Man and the Iron Man Anime.
- Iron Man: Rise of Technovore is a direct-to-video feature which, like the Marvel Anime adaptation, is produced by Madhouse in collaboration with Marvel. The feature is being written by Brandon Auman and directed by Hiroshi Hamasaki. Matthew Mercer and Norman Reedus will voice Tony Stark and the Punisher respectively.

Famous quotes containing the word marvel:
“For man, the vast marvel is to be alive. For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. Whatever the unborn may know, they cannot know the beauty, the marvel of being alive in the flesh. The dead may look after the afterwards. But the magnificent here and now of life in the flesh is ours, and ours alone, and ours only for a time.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
