Inside the Vault: Iron Man's Helmet, Vader's Lightsaber & Superman's Suit at Sotheby's

NEW YORK | 28 OCTOBER

S tep inside Sotheby’s Film Memorabilia auction, where legendary movie worlds unite. This extraordinary collection features original screen-used props from Marvel, Star Wars, and Harry Potter — including Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man helmet from Captain America: Civil War, Darth Vader and Darth Maul’s lightsabers, and Lord Voldemort’s light-up wand from The Deathly Hallows – Part I.

Join Ralph DeLuca, Sotheby’s Global Head of Pop Culture, as he highlights the craftsmanship, creativity, and storytelling behind some of the most iconic franchises in cinema history. These are not replicas, they’re the original artifacts that built entire worlds on screen.

The Film Memorabilia auction will take place live at Sotheby’s New York on 28 October at 11:00 AM EDT, with a free public exhibition on view 10–17 October at our York Avenue galleries.
