This Time, Iron Man Will Crush Spidey
For all his success, Robert Downey Jr., as Iron Man, has never proven to be as popular as either Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield, both of whom have played Spider-Man on the big screen. All that could change when Iron Man 3 debuts on May 3.
The film could follow in the footsteps of Marvel's The Avengers, and bring Walt Disney another billion-dollar box office, says Tim Beyers of Motley Fool Rule Breakers and Motley Fool Supernova in the following video.
Sony's best performance from a Spidey film came in 2007, when Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3 earned $90.9 million worldwide, according to data supplied by Box Office Mojo.
