The Academy Awards nominee movie Ironman, released in 2008, was enormously praised for its genre changing story and its portrayal of the iconic character known as Tony Stark, played by Oscar winner Robert Downey Jr. The film was considered a breath of fresh air within the superhero movie industry due to its realism and due to the character complexity of its hero. However, its misrepresentation of Arab and Muslim individuals fails to show the actual reality and values of these communities. The characters representing said groups are not complex at all.
