Iron Man 3

Iron Man 3 has become the fifth biggest movie of all time.

The latest Iron Man movie needed just three weeks to break the $1 billion barrier and now it is up to $1,147 billion worldwide.

That moves the movie up from the ninth to the fifth biggest grossing movie of all time; it jumps over Transformers: Dark of the Moon, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Skyfall and The Dark Knight Rises.

Iron Man 3 is following in the footsteps of Avenger's Assemble and could come close to the $1.5 billion that that movie grossed at the end of it's theatrical run.

The movie sees Robert Downey Jr reprise the role of Tony Stark while Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle return to the franchise.

However it was all change in the director's chair as Shane Black took over the helm from Jon Favreau.

Iron Man 3 kicked of Marvel's Phase Two of films and we will see Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers 2 all hit the big screen over the next two years.
