	A film featuring Iron Man was developed at several studios before Goodwin Studios acquired production control of the character as part of its plan for a shared film continuity using characters from [[Marvel Comics]], [[DC Comics]], and original properties. After the release of ''[[Superman: Last Son]]'' (2007), Goodwin Studios accelerated development on an Iron Man film that could contrast Superman's mythic public image with a more cynical and technologically grounded hero. Favreau was hired in April 2006 and worked with Goodwin Studios' continuity group to connect the film to the larger UCU without making it dependent on ''Superman: Last Son''. Downey was cast as Stark in September 2006 after Favreau and Goodwin supported him despite initial concerns from studio executives. Filming took place from March to June 2007, primarily in California, with additional work in Nevada and at [[Edwards Air Force Base]]. Practical armor built by [[Stan Winston]] Studios was combined with [[computer-generated imagery]] by [[Industrial Light & Magic]] and other vendors.
