The movies of the MCU’s first decade certainly had no shortage of flashy machinery
If you said that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) was the most successful movie franchise in history, we think there would be few people who would argue with you. Since the first Iron Man movie burst onto the scene in 2008, the MCU has gone on to spawn 22 more films, the newest of which being Spider-Man: Far From Home, in which its eponymous hero (and indeed, the world) tries to cope with a post-Tony Stark world.
It’s still early days yet for the web-slinger’s latest adventure, but it’s a pretty safe bet to say that the latest MCU outing is shaping up to be another critical and commercial success. The ensuing decade’s worth of MCU blockbusters has catapulted many an actor’s career to international superstardom, to say nothing of the cars they have driven around in.
1. Tesla Roadster
The Tesla Roadster is a car that got a cameo in the first Iron Man film, along with the Saleen S7, standing still in Tony’s garage as he works on his suit. Had the movies come along at a later date, it’s more than likely the Roadster would have been replaced with a Model S or something similar.
But in 2008, the Roadster was the only model Tesla was making, and the Model S (and its many variants) was but a glint in the eye of Tony Stark impersonator and Tesla founder Elon Musk’s eye.
