Are You Kidding Me?

That's genius. He's can pull off the goatee and looks just like Tony Stark. Not to mention, he's an excellent actor.

And hey, beats the hell out of Tom Cruise playing him (who expressed interested before).

[Lethal]

I like this. RDJ can totally play the alcohol addicted Tony Stark.

[willblade]

ok..since it deals with an alcoholic, i can deal with RDJ playing Iron Man..otherwise...what the hell..at least it isn't Tom Cruise playing him..still not expecting much from this movie though. Maybe it'll change when the trailer is released.

Post Civil War now I want a movie with Tony Stark as evil bastard lol

[Jill Monroe]

age :rolleyes:

LMAO!!! :p :haha: I need to add that to the quote section, that's good!


Hmmmm, Robert playing Iron Man, I can't really see him playing that. I mean the role itself will probably be overly stressful. Robert did well on the television show, Ally McBeal, back in the day and then bounced right into Rehab. I think they could have picked a better actor, in my opinion. :nod:

and here is RDJ as Tony Stark...

This looks frakin sweet! very faithful. i cant wait. i just hope the movement is fluid and not clunky.

[Jill Monroe]

THAT is much better i must say.

[Black King]

i have high hopes for this movie. i can't wait to see it but how are they going to go from the original armor to the mark III so fast?

Each time I read a new Iron Man scoop I keep saying to myself, is this for real?

Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury to Appear in Iron Man?!

AICN is reporting that Samuel L. Jackson will be playing Nick Fury in the up and coming Iron Man....

"Okay. This is a pretty big tidbit, and as far as I can tell, this is an exclusive. I haven’t seen any mention of this anywhere online, but it’s exciting news, and I have to share it with you guys.

Right now, if I had to wager on whether or not IRON MAN was going to be one of next summer’s big films, I’d say it will be. It seems like Jon Favreau has done everything right so far, and I’m hearing really exciting things about the action sequences and the casting, and I’ve been sold on Robert Downey Jr. since the moment he was announced.

Today, though, he’s shooting scenes featuring an actor who is a set-up for a larger Marvel continuity, and it’s exciting because I’m hoping this character can start showing up in other films, and we’ll start seeing Marvel Studios creating a larger world, one that exists outside the frames of the individual movies. This is a major step towards making that AVENGERS movie we’ve been hearing about. So who’s the actor? Who’s the character?
Sam Jackson. Nick Fury."

Sam's basically the inspiration for the Ultimate version of Fury, right?

new cast photo and i got to say Tony looks like a porn star

[goldenboy]

I guess Avi Arad has confirmed That Sam Jackson and Hillary Swank are in for cameos at least. Wonder who Swank will play. My first guess was Maria Hill. Or Sharon Carter? I don't know the Marvel Universe well enough..
