Iron Man 3 director Shane Black originally didn't want to set the film during Christmas, which would have broken a longstanding career trend. “I didn’t want Christmas to feel like a gimmick, or something that was predictable, or ostentatious on my part.'
Iron Man 3 director Shane Black reveals that he was initially against setting the MCU film at Christmas, which would have broken a career tradition. Released in 2013 as part of Phase 2, Iron Man 3 was the last solo movie for Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark. The MCU movie was met with mostly positive reviews from audiences and critics and boasted Black's signature sense of humor, which was something of a departure from the previous two films.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In keeping with previous films that he had either written or directed like Lethal Weapon, The Long Kiss Goodnight, and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Iron Man 3 blends action with Christmas spirit in a unique way, but Black now reveals that he was initially against the idea.
“I didn’t want Christmas to feel like a gimmick, or something that was predictable, or ostentatious on my part. It started out as fun, and as soon as people noticed it, it stopped being fun. But I acquiesced largely because of the Christmas Carol aspect of it. Tony loses his support, loses his base, he’s adrift in Mid-America.
The Christmas setting also works so well in Black's film simply because it's different from what had come before, not only in terms of the previous two Iron Man movies but the MCU in general. The setting sets the film apart, in many ways, and helps it to feel like a change of pace after Iron Man 2 proved a little more divisive among fans in 2010. Still, almost 10 years later, Black's movie remains the only MCU feature film to really embrace the holiday.
Marvel Should Make More Holiday-Themed Shows & Movies There are now two notable Marvel Disney+ projects that heavily feature Christmas – Hawkeye and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special – and both have been met with very positive reviews. With lower stakes and more contained stories than typical MCU installments, both projects got to explore characters and themes in exciting and intimate ways.
