Iron Man Movie Casting update

Robert Downey Jr. has been cast as Tony Stark a.k.a Iron Man in the upcoming 2008 movie. What do you guys think about him playing Tony Stark?

While I think Robert Downey is a good creative actor i dont see him playing Iron Man. Thats just my opinion, maybe somebody can convince me otherwise.

Yeah I am not too big on this one. I guess they picked him because of his alcoholism and stuff, he thinks he can relate to Stark.

lol that was my first thought, but wasn't Downey a drug addict rather than a alcholic? Probably both right... I just saw that there already is a thread related to this topic. So if a mod wants to move it go ahead.

Downey is too old - he's hit his 40's, right?

This was disappointing news that Robert Downey jr. was cast. The movie is guaranteed "lame" now.

Downey Junior is, imo, arguably the best actor making movies nowadays...

whether he's right for stark, i have no idea...

Slap a mustache on him and he'll look the part... and I'm sure he has the mind set of a rich, womanizing alcoholic down pact. Also he usually comes of a bit cocky and arrogant. Seriously... how is he not perfect for the part?

Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark is perfect casting. If the first movie looks good in the screening room, they should make the sequel right away, because Downey may fall off the wagen from the pressure. Of course, I would still use him even if he was high on cocaine everyday. Hes a great actor. Let him sleep on the set and have the alcohol/drugs brought to him.

Downy is a good choice; he'll capture Stark's druggie/boozing/playboy persona just right.

As for his being too old? Please. What a nice change from Not having an actor barely out of diapers playing someone who's supposed to be mature, in their early 30s at least.

They can't get Johnny Depp to play every single character in every single film ..... you'll just have to settle for mere mortal actors

Oh yeah... you've had way longer than a day... where's that list?

Gweneth Paltrow has just been cast to play Pepper Potts in the Iron Man Movie.

Robert Downey, Jr is an intriguing choice but might be able to work. How about Terrance Howard as "Rhodey"? What about Gwyneth Paltrow aas Pepper Potts. This film is shaping up to be a possible blockbuster.
