Chapter 148: Spider-Man 2 Project Greenlit! A Declaration That Ignites the Scene!

At the Cishanwan Society gala, Tony Stark arrived in his Audi R8.

The Audi was indeed a bit more low-key than Batman's Lamborghini, but not by much.

Come to think of it, the sponsor Audi had gifted the production crew two R8s; one was used for filming and later smashed to pieces.

The other was specially gifted to Xu Can.

Audi CEO Rupert Schneider called Xu Can personally to explain:

"Xu, I very much like your film. This R8 is our gesture of goodwill; I hope we have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Schneider was quite good at judging people; Xu Can was absolutely a force in Hollywood that could not be ignored in the future.

Look at his several films; all of them caused huge influence globally.

Exchanging one R8 for future cooperation opportunities, arranging some Audi brand placements in the film—they would earn far more than the value of a single car.

Thus, these past few days, Xu Can preferred driving Iron Man's ride.

Returning to the film, Tony met a female reporter at the Wan Society gala.

The female reporter showed him a batch of photos: the weapons division of Stark Industries, which should have been halted, was still selling weapons abroad.

His weapons had caused severe devastation to Yisen's hometown, leaving countless civilians displaced.

Yisen was his savior, and the civilians were innocent!

This typical Eagle behavior filled Tony with righteous indignation!

He immediately confronted Obadiah; Obadiah no longer pretended—he laid his cards on the table.

The weapons division had not been halted; he had already signed a board resolution expelling Tony Stark!

Now that the mask was torn off, Tony had no intention of retreating!

The Mark 3 armor was ready; accompanied by an exciting melody,

guided by mechanical arms, Tony stepped into the suit piece by piece!

In typical mecha films, besides the mecha battles, such assembly and transformation shots were equally thrilling!

Legs, torso, arms, and helmet!

When Tony Stark was fully suited up, wearing the Iron Man mask and looking at the camera,

the faceplate dropped, and light ignited in the eyes!

The complete form of Iron Man was revealed to the audience for the first time!

Everyone was completely immersed in the excitement, utterly unaware that the entire suit was generated by digital effects!

The metallic texture was indistinguishable from real materials; even experts in the film special effects industry could not tell at first whether it was effects or live-action!

"Wow, did they really build a mecha?"

"That would be incredible; is Xu Can actually Iron Man?"

Boom!

Iron Man appeared high in the sky; the thrusters instantly erupted, breaking the sound barrier, accelerating a second time in mid-air, and flying toward the distance at a bizarre angle!

The terrorists were currently attacking Village 083, holding civilians hostage and preparing to execute them.

Iron Man descended like a god, striking in a standard superhero pose!

Machine-gun fire left the aerospace materials unscathed; a few palm blasts turned the enemies into dust!

The enemies holding hostages were useless; the AI digital control locked onto all thugs, shoulder-mounted ammunition poured out simultaneously, completing a surgical-precision strike!

Seeing that infantry was ineffective, the enemies even had tanks!

The terrorists were actually using an M1A1 main battle tank; this might seem absurd in other countries, but on the Eagle, it was understandable.

In the original, the tank firing a single shot to precisely knock Iron Man out of the sky was somewhat magical.

Tanks couldn't even hit World War II aircraft, let alone an Iron Man more agile than an F-22.

Xu Can made a slight change here: the terrorists, in a fit of rage, used the tank to shell civilians, but Iron Man intercepted the shell.

Tony underestimated the tank's power and was blasted into the air by a single shot.

Fortunately, the titanium alloy material, with its smooth surface deflecting the shell, prevented any fatal injury.

The standing Iron Man was hit by another shell but smoothly dodged sideways; casually raising an arm, he sent the tank a small rocket, then turned and left.

A true man never looks back at the explosion!

Boom!

The small rocket's power was astonishing; the tank exploded instantly!

Iron Man shot straight into the sky; the AI precisely locked onto all targets!

Like a demon-subduing lord descending from heaven, truly a great god of the mortal realm!

After wiping out the terrorist base, Iron Man was detected by Eagle military radar during his return journey.

Two F-22 Raptors went to intercept the unknown flying object.

Air Force Colonel James Luo Di immediately sensed something was wrong; he vaguely felt it might be related to his good brother.
