One of the early blockbuster movies this year is Iron Man, a new comic book movie by Marvel Studios. It has already smashed opening weekend domestic records in the U.S. But did you know of the Iranians who play a part in this movie?

Perhaps the most well known actor you might recognize is Shaun Toub, known also from the Oscar-winning movie Crash. In Iron Man, Shaun's character helps the main character in the movie, played by Robert Downey Jr, by saving his life in a prison.

Nazanin Boniadi is a stunning actress who has a starring role in the soap show General Hospital. She makes a cameo in Iron Man as TV anchor.

And finally, the soundtrack of the movie was composed by German-Iranian musician Ramin Djawadi, who also works on the popular TV show Prison Break.
