Irish stars flock to 'Ironman' premiere

Some of Irelands top stars are eagerly awaiting the opening of the 'Ironman' film, which hits cinema screens across the country this weekend.

Based upon Marvel's iconic super hero, 'IronMan' tells the story of Tony Stark, a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor who is kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon.

Instead, using his intelligence and ingenuity he escapes captivity. Upon his return to America, Tony must come to terms with his past and when he discovers an evil plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armour and vows to protect the world as Ironman.

2fm DJ and self-confessed comic book addict Rick O'Shea is eagerly looking forward to 'Ironman' which hits cinemas across the country this bank holiday weekend.

The film stars Robert Downey Jnr as Tony Stark and Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Pots.
