saw Joe Quesada getting interviewed on G4 yesterday and he said the property that he is most enthusiastic about is Iron Man. Not Spidey 3, not Wolverine or FF2, or Cap America.

interesting.
I wonder how much of that is the businessman in him talking as I expect that IM has the greatest merchandising potential of any of the properties (I'm expecting a rival to Transformers in the different kinds of configurations that we are going to be seeing w/ IM figures and toys)

It'll be interesting to see how they adapt the Mandarin to the screen. He's a great villain but as a Fu Manchu derivative he's the kind of character the PC police like to keep a very close eye on.

I wish they had decided to go with the Crimson Dynamo. I bet they are going to work Mandarin in to Iron Mans origin.

Teaser poster, with word that this is not necessarily the final version of the armor:

AICN is reporting that Robert Downey, Jr. has been casted as Tony Stark.

 

[DavidPla]

Variety seems to have just confirmed it as well. Cool.

 

[Cavan.B]

That's an interesting choice. I like it, though, as Downey is very talented and this is a good sign for the flick.

 

[Stephen Orr]

Perfect!

 

[Larry Sutliff]

Downey is a very good actor. This may turn out to be a quality film.

 

[Andy_R]

I think this is brilliant casting. Downey has the looks, the acting skills, and experience fighting addiction. Perfect for Tony Stark.

 

[Jason Harbaugh]

Perhaps it is time to rename the title of this thread.

 

[JoSAN]

I'm sorry, but this...


... is NOT my idea of Tony Stark.

Okay, so the guy knows what it's like to be a drug addict... but, geez, actors can... act. My anticipation for this movie was high but has now hit the ground.

Should've gone with an "unknown" who fit the bill.

I will see how things progress. Anything can happen. Downey may still be fired off the project yet.

Man, this news sucks.

 

[Ray H]

Hmmm. Downey, Jr. is definitely not what I had in mind. I was expecting someone younger and perhaps more suave.

But I think he is a great actor, so it's definitely an interesting choice.

Here is an early screen test of Robert in an early Iron Man suit....

 

[Rakesh.S]

jim caviezel would've been so much better..

robert downey jr....ugh

 

[JonZ]

Suprising choice.

 

[Norm]

Yea, Caviezel would have been cool.
