sure, tony stark’s iron man suit can survive a massive chitauri attack, but is it strong enough to withstand a copyright lawsuit? that’s the question at the heart of a new legal battle over stark’s ensemble and allegations that marvel may have cribbed from a pair of lower - profile artists when designing the iron man suit for its massively successful film franchise .
the studio (universal pictures), directors and even any actors linked with the film have stayed unusually quiet for a film of such stature, until now .
2008’s iron man may be over eight years old, but the reverberations of that film are still being felt today. not only is robert downey jr. still playing tony stark on a regular basis—we last saw him in may’s captain america: civil war —but the whole marvel cinematic universe was launched by jon favreau’s surprise mega - hit. however, that film’s success was far from a foregone conclusion during production. in fact, iron man villain jeff bridges recently acknowledged that the shoot was something of a mess .

man of iron was positioned as something of a follow - up to boxer from shantung, the rise - and - fall story of ma yung chen and it reunites the directors and some of the cast in a similar but much slighter tale of a lesser gangster' s rise and fall in shanghai. while the opening narration specifically recalls the events and tragic conclusion of boxer, this one is set 20 years later in the same section of shanghai but otherwise has nothing to do with the events or characters of the previous film .
ben lai and ray lai, the brothers and comic book artists who run horizon comics, allege that marvel drew inspiration from their 2001 comic book series radix when designing iron man’s cinematic costume. in the lawsuit (which is available in full here), they claim that while the iron man comics feature the character in a “simple spandex - like attire and minimal armor, ” in the film he is seen “wearing a fully mechanized suit of body armor” similar to their radix design .
it’s all the more reason for sam rockwell to mourn the role that got away. as cinemablend reminded us yesterday, favreau came close to casting rockwell as tony stark. ultimately, the actor had to settle for a role in favreau’s 2011 flop cowboys & aliens, leaving an iron man - shaped hole in his filmography. to visualize the intriguing—but far less enduring—film that might have been, keep rockwell in mind while watching the iron man trailer below .
man of iron immediately sets itself up as a sequel to the boxer from shantung, but the only returning character is the street where everything happens. i’ve also heard the film referred to as a remake of the previous film, but this is also a misnomer as the stories are vastly different. the boxer from shantung is a re - telling of the classic gangster tale scarface, but man of iron bears little resemblance to this rag - to - riches gangster tragedy. instead, we just have chen kuan - tai playing a character who wants to move up in the gangster hierarchy, but the characters themselves, while sharing some similar goals, are pretty far from being actually similar .
in 2008, paltrow launched her lifestyle website goop, which sends out a weekly newsletter on a range of topics, from parenting to fashion tips. that year, she also joined the ranks of a - listers making the leap to movies based on comic books, appearing in iron man as pepper potts, opposite robert downey jr. & apos; s tony stark. the film earned rave reviews and garnered the highest box office numbers of any film involving the actress to date .
the key idea of the lawsuit actually expands beyond the films, asserting: “it was not until after the lai brothers’ submitted their work in radix to marvel that marvel began depicting iron man wearing the [ fully - mechanized ] suits. ”

man of iron may not be a great film, but it is an enjoyable one that contains a lot of great, inventive fights. the drama is a little forced and the story itself could have used some work, but it’s an action movie that delivers fun action so you can’t complain too much. definitely check it out if you’re a fan of chen kuan - tai or gangster - based kung fu tales !

man of iron is set 20 years after the end of the boxer from shantung. the street and the people who populate it have moved on, and new gangs have grown to control the area. there are two major gang bosses: chang gen bao (chu mu) and yu zhen - ting (yeung chi - hung). one day, yu chow - kai (tin ching), the son of the gang boss yu, is gambling and has all of his money taken by qiu lian - huan (chen kuan - tai), a man with a small gang of friends that’s tired of being small time. yu’s son is a man who has inherited his place in the gangster world, so he is easily bested and intimated by qiu, a man who has fought to be where he is .
the wait is over for jurassic park fans as director colin trevorrow has revealed the first of his star cast for the new film, jurassic world .
in addition to proving marvel directly copied their work, there’s a separate issue of whether the lai brothers filed their suit in a timely manner (the first iron man film was released in 2008). the final question is whether a mammoth company like marvel could ever be challenged by a small, independent force—marvel reportedly ignored a cease and desist letter from the lai brothers (obviously), which is what prompted the lawsuit in the first place .

paltrow reprised her roles in the second and third iron man films, released in 2010 and 2013, respectively, as well as in other related features from the marvel franchise, including the avengers (2012) and spider - man: homecoming (2017). during that period, she also appeared in films like the drama country strong (2010) and the comedy mortdecai (2015), alongside johnny depp .
all this probably sounds like it makes for a thrilling little tale of the streets, and while it is rather entertaining, it’s not all that unique or special in its own right. the boxer from shantung may have had a well - worn story that made it predictable and a bit ho - hum at times, but it is a far superior film without a doubt. what man of iron makes up for with having an original story, it loses in having an original story that’s not all that engaging .

part of the lais’ lawsuit involves proving marvel was aware of and influenced by their work, rather than merely developing a similar idea independently. they actually have a couple of strong pieces of evidence in that column: the massachusetts institute of technology used a radix - inspired illustration for a grant proposal before subsequently apologizing to the lai brothers in 2002. according to the lawsuit, “the controversy and mit’s apology were widely reported in the media. ”

die quasi - fortsetzung von der pirat von shantung. es mag an chen kuan - tai liegen, dass ich hier nicht groß in den ansonsten recht sorgfältig gemachten film eintauchen kann. der hauptdarsteller des films ist etwas zu steif in seinen spielszenen, was die sich langsam aufbauende handlung ausbremst. zudem fühlt sich diese auch etwas aufgebläht an; hier wäre reduktion recht gut gewesen. daran krankt auch der bereits erwähnte

in march 2014, via her website goop, paltrow announced that she and martin had separated :

qiu also takes a liking to the younger yu’s girlfriend, shen ju - fang (ching li). he’s the type of guy that takes what he wants, so he decides that now is the time to push back against the bigger gangs. he first rides his motorcycle to shen’s house, and after beating up the yu gangsters outside the residence, he drives his motorcycle right through the front window of the building. i guess that’s one way to try to impress a girl! this is the first salvo in qiu’s attempt to challenge the old bosses of the street, and because he’s such a suave badass, you actually believe that he stands a chance against them, even though in every fight he’s basically single - handed against a group of 30 + thugs .

in late 2001, paltrow donned an unflattering fat suit for some of her scenes in the crude comedy shallow hal, co - starring jack black and directed by peter and bobby farrelly. she also joined an all - star cast, including gene hackman, anjelica huston, ben stiller, bill murray, danny glover and luke and owen wilson, in the royal tenenbaums, directed by wes anderson. in 2002, she starred in the screen adaptation of possession, as well as in miramax & apos; s romantic spoof a view from the top .
kathy bates has joined kim dickens, kevin costner and woody harrelson in netflix’s 2018 drama, ‘the highwaymen. ’ based on true events, has two texas rangers are drawn out of retirement to hunt down bonnie and clyde. bates also has roles in upcoming flims on robert graves and ruth bader ginsburg .
in 1999, paltrow starred with matt damon in director anthony minghella & apos; s lush production of the talented mr. ripley, a novel by patricia highsmith. in 2000, she starred in the karaoke comedy - drama duets, directed by her father, bruce paltrow, and the romance bounce, opposite affleck .
chen kuan - tai stars as qiu lian - huan, a small time gangster with his own gang that has a tendency to rub the bigger bosses the wrong way due to his cockiness. things really get violent when he decides he wants the girlfriend of the big boss' s son and he decides to let everyone know about by crashing through their front door with his motorcycle .
the willowy blonde also made a name for herself in the gossip columns with much - publicized relationships and break - ups with both pitt and ben affleck, the oscar - winning co - screenwriter of good will hunting (1997). affleck also appeared (in a relatively small role) in shakespeare in love. he and paltrow broke up amicably in early 1998 after a yearlong romance .
but thankfully action films do not succeed on engaging stories alone, and that’s where the fights come in. the fights themselves are all quite fun and well - choreographed, with reckless energy and brutality that goes a long way. for instance when chen kuan - tai is thrown against a wall and he lands on a thug, he doesn’t simply hit the guy once and move on. no, he elbows him viciously a couple of times in the stomach, grabs him by the collar, throws him into an open car door and slams the door on his body a few times. then there’s the fight when chen uses a bicycle as a weapon, at one point smashing a thug’s head through the spokes of the wheel… all before he rips off the bike’s chain and starts using that as a weapon! so yeah, the fights are quite enjoyable .
a romance with the latter helped propel paltrow into the headlines, just as she began to win starring roles in the pallbearer (1996), emma (1996), great expectations (1998), sliding doors (1998) and a perfect murder (1998), with michael douglas. paltrow confirmed her superstar status with an inspired performance in 1998 & apos; s shakespeare in love, as the immortal bard & apos; s purported muse. the role won her a best actress oscar and made her one of hollywood & apos; s most sought - after female performers .
