If you’re a fan of Iron Man, today might be the perfect time to play hooky.

The UltraStar Multi-tainment Center, 16000 Maricopa Road, is hosting an Iron Man marathon with screenings of the first two Iron Man movies followed by the showing of Iron Man 3 at 9 p.m. 

Costumed fan club members are scheduled to show up at the event around 5 p.m., according to the movie center’s Facebook page. Phoenix Comicon will have a table set up with giveaways and a chance to win passes to this year’s four-day convention that begins May 23. 

Gareth Von Kallenbach, founder of the movie and gaming news site Skewed and Reviewed, will hold a panel discussion at 7:45 p.m. inside the theater before the Iron Man 3 premiere. Von Kallenbach will discuss some of Hollywood’s most anticipated future films, such as a new Star Wars movie, the next Terminator, Prometheus 2 and a Blade Runner sequel. 

Tickets to see both Iron Man 1 and Iron Man 2 are $10. Those films begin at 2:30 p.m. and 5:15 p.m., respectively. Regular movie prices will apply to Iron Man 3.
