Chapter 310

Really can't imagine how thrilling it would be when so many superheroes gather!

How thrilling it would be!

At this point the film was already a little past halfway; Hammer Industries' last attack on Tony Stark had failed,

but they had seen the power of the new mecha and decided to mass-produce them.

Tony Stark's home was also fully infiltrated by S. H. I. E. L. D.,

with Agent Coulson and Agent Natasha staying behind to keep watch on him.

On the military side, the Air Force was also preparing to arm the Mark II mecha; arms dealer Justin Hammer introduced it enthusiastically,

"This is top-grade goods, my Eiffel Tower, my masterpiece, I call it… my ex-wife."

"OK, I'll take it."

"Which one?"

"All of them."

On the other side, Tony Stark finally found the thread of the new element in a model left behind by his father.

In the end he successfully built a new triangular reactor,

and finally didn't have to wait around to die!

"Mr. Stark, I'm afraid I'll have to say goodbye for a few days."

"Secret mission?"

"Yes, in New Mexico."

Those in the know, hearing this, got another wave of excitement!

New Mexico — isn't that where Lei Shenzhichui was found!

Thor isn't far off either!

……

After finishing research on the new element and swapping in the new reactor, Iron Man untied his knot and fully transformed into a stronger warrior.

At the same time, Hammer Industries' weapons expo convened,

and he introduced his drone mecha phalanx to the world!

Who would have thought these drone mecha phalanxes would go out of control and start slaughtering in all directions!

Tens of thousands of civilians' lives were threatened on the spot!

Luckily the transformed Iron Man arrived in time, and landing alongside him as a hero was his good brother Luo Di!

With Hammer Industries' weapons, they successfully built the "Iron Patriot"!

Still piloted by Colonel Luo Di!

Two iron superheroes drew in a swarm of drone mecha for a big battle,

In this aerial combat scene, Xu Can referenced a lot of the VFX shots from Top Gun: Maverick and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,

as well as aerial combat games like Ace Combat 7 and Star Wars: Squadrons,

directing an extremely visually sensational aerial battle in the most cutting-edge, coolest way!

It's Iron Man — how could you not throw in some aerial combat to do justice to that steel suit?

While watching the film, sitting next to director Jon Favreau was Columbia Pictures distribution president Rice, 0.8

He couldn't help but praise: "Jon, your director's skill has really grown — shots like this aerial combat can be so razor-sharp."

Camera movement, scene blocking, and editing coordination are perfect — absolutely Oscar-level spectacle.

Jon Favreau just gave a wry smile:

"This segment was led by Xu Can; I don't have that level myself."

Rice was stunned for a beat, then couldn't help sighing: "Worthy of the Best Director Oscar indeed…"

In the park, the Iron Patriot's "ex-wife" missile caused a big laugh, making the whole crowd burst out laughing.

Then Iron Man unleashed his "ultimate move," a 360-degree laser that wiped out all the mecha.

"You should've used that move first next time."

Luo Di turned into the audience's mouthpiece to roast.

In the original Iron Man 2, the biggest boss was these mecha.

After wiping out the mecha, the film entered a stretch of dialogue and then abruptly cut off.

That felt a bit like being left hanging — the final Gao Chao scene didn't even escalate?

On top of that, the pre-production pacing dragged and the dialogue was dense,

causing Iron Man 2's reputation and box office to both fall short of Iron Man 1, making it feel rather half-baked.

Xu Can's new version of Iron Man definitely won't repeat the same mistake.

Hammer Industries' mecha aerial battle was fun, but not fun enough!

When all the mecha were taken down and Iron Man's energy was spent,

Tony and Luo Di both thought they were safe and took off their faceplates to chat.

Boom!

The ground trembled! The heavens collapsed and the earth split!

Little did they know that, catching them completely off guard behind them, a massive beast had appeared!

The situation was too sudden — both men's expressions froze as they tremblingly turned their heads.

A dragon several meters tall glared viciously at the two of them!

The Leviathan — make its entrance!

Iron Man and the Iron Patriot face a fatal crisis!.
