Favreau himself said that they were not going to go with a big name. Favreau is going with someone who definitely has experience but is not a household name.
You can pretty much count out Depp and Cruise.
He doesn't want to go with a big name actor because he doesn't want the actor to define Iron Man, but rather the other way around.
Also, big name actors that play superheroes/villains don't always translate well (ie. Clooney, Affleck, Halle, Arnold, etc.)
Well, Johnny Depp would be awesome as Stark... but if you already know that an unknown is being cast as him, then what the hell is the point of this thread?
Yeah, but initially, you're asking people who they think should be cast as Iron Man, yet you also already know that an unknown is going to be cast for the role. So I guess I was a little puzzled as to why you wanted people's views on who to play Iron Man, when they would all be wrong, considering that an unknown is going to get the role. Understood? I can't make it any clearer than that, if you still don't understand what I'm trying to say and if you still percieve it as a "stupid" question, then that is entirely your fault. I'm outta here.
He actually probably will go with someone like Fehr. They can't go with someone too famous (especially someone like Cruise after that whole fiasco) but I can picture Favreau going with someone that he has already seen before. Fehr isn't a name you can say at the dinner table and have people know who you're talking about, but he isn't a total unknown like an Edward Furlong casting for T2 (who by the way I'm not suggesting should play Stark lol). Although I can't name an actor without thinking about it for a while, and although I can't say "yay or nay" for Fehr since I haven't seen him in any movies, I think I'm right in saying we won't see Matt Dillon or someone in the role.
Johnny depp won't 'tarnish' the iron man/tony stark role. he's a cool guy, i havent seen him do anything regretful, like jump around on a coach proclaiming his love for a girl half his age...
one things for sure if, depp is iron man, itll bring in some $$$. its like "oh Iron Man is the latest star-driven movie" or "lets go see Johnny Depp's new movie"
I'm simply asking everyone's opinion on who they think should play Iron Man.
Just because Favreau will choose to go with someone who isn't a big name star doesn't make anyone's opinion of who they think should play Iron Man "wrong" or less than anybody else's opinion.
