"My son is distraught! Crying all the way home from the theater! Wanting to sleep with as much Iron Man things as possible! Literally crying himself to sleep!" he wrote.
"I never imagined I'd have to explain why this happened to my son! My son kept crying 'I want him to come back!' 'I want to see him again!'"
It's sparked a wave of sympathy for the child, with many others saying they cried after watching the film.
"This is heartbreaking," one person replied. "I'm so much older than you, still I left the theater crying all my way home too and I even cried days after (I watched it April 24th). I'm sending you a big hug, pal - you're not alone in this."
Another said they wanted to start a petition to get Iron Man to visit the boy.
