Yeah, that is actually a good idea, JIm could work. I thought about Antonio long time ago in a different IronMan thread.
Let's stick with what I grabbed just this mornin:
June 25, 2004: DarkHorizon's scooper sent in an e-mail which brought up a new possibile star for the film - Simon Rex. The former MTV VJ and star of such films as "Scary Movie 3", "The Forsaken" and TV's "Felicity" is currently starring in "The Karate Dog" alongside Jon Voight and Chevy Chase. Here's the specifics: "Rex is meeting with Marvel for "Iron Man" this month. He's been in talks for quite a spell. Reportedly Rex has the look, physique and chops that they want for the role. They seem to keep coming back to him apparently, so don't be surprised if he gets the nod". We'll keep you posted.
Oh, to comment the Ultimate suit, I love it no other words for it. The new suit is nicely done, and like Rages said it would be more plausible if the studio went for that design. Although I've seen the pic for the movie mask, and it was red and gold. Yes, they planned to make him like the original, not that I care cuz it's all the better, lol. If they don't have warMAchine in the movie then it's gonna sucky sucky for 5 dolla.
