Robert Downey Jr's creation as the eccentric billionaire, playboy and superhero captivated the audiences. However, as time went on, it came to light that his casting was considered risky before its release, but eventually all the films featuring him achieved success. Iron Man was always a perfect-looking dandy, and sunglasses perfectly matched his extravagant clothing and eccentric manner. However, it turns out that they also served another important function. Years later, in an interview with Vanity Fair Downey confessed that in the first movie he wore dark glasses so that he could read his lines during the filming of a scene. "There's a scene where Tony tests weapon system and says: 'Is it better for them to fear you, or for them to respect you? Is it too much to ask for both?'. John [Favreau] and I literally wrote it line by line while shooting that day. I wore sunglasses because everything was on cue cards." Although Iron Man was the foundation for the entire universe, the script was largely written on the set. With his statement, Downey made clear how the lack of carefully planned work took its toll on the filming.
