Iron Man, Elf, The Mandalorian and More! Jon Favreau Picks His Best Shots
May 21, 2026
It's easy to forget that Jon Favreau got his start with indie comedies, because he's come a long way since Swingers. From kicking off the MCU with Iron Man, to pulling off a bonafide Christmas classic with Will Ferrell in Elf and of course heading to a galaxy far, far away to bring us The Mandalorian and Grogu, Favreau has combined a grounded comedic sense and a surprising place on the cutting edge of technology. He joined us on My Best Shots to talk about his early days of run-and-gun filmmaking, what he learned from close-up magicians and why his favorite shots are the ones his entire crew has their hands on.
