Latcham joked that the production team was surfing Wikipedia for answers before The Science & Entertainment Exchange came along. Mahan and Meinerding explored the design concepts of the suit, even down to where the bullets were located in the War Machine suit. In fact, an exoskeleton has been developed in Japan that allows the bearer to lift about five heavy sacks of rice. Krause spoke of science fiction becoming reality-companies are trying to build an exoskeleton similar to Iron Man’s.

Marvel Studio’s senior vice president of production and development, Jeremy Latcham co-founder of Legacy Effects, Shane Mahan conceptual illustrator, Ryan Meinerding and Caltech assistant professor of computer science, Andreas Krause, shared their insights on how science played a role in the movie’s development.įielding questions from moderator Geoff Boucher (writer and editor of Hero Complex for the Los Angeles Times), the panelists weighed in on the science or stretches of science in the film, including the four extended scenes screened that evening. Mark Wise was not the only panelist to speak on Tony Stark’s behalf. Wise gave the scene an “A” for scientific accuracy, stating “That could be a real accelerator.” The scene, which Wise consulted on, depicts Tony Stark building a particle accelerator from scratch. During “The Science of Iron Man 2,” a panel presented by The Exchange and Caltech, Wise pointed to an extended scene from the Iron Man 2 Blu-ray as a depiction of hard science. Superheroes aren’t the likeliest scientists, but according to Caltech physicist Mark Wise, Tony Stark’s science is accurate.
