No I meant Clark Gable and artic wolverines, yes Brandon Routh and Hugh Jackman.
You claimed the casting should not be limited to unkowns within the casting of Iron Man and I followed this by implying that selecting previously unknown actors for X-Men & Superman worked for the best. Viweres find themselves more easily immersed into the universe & characters when the lead actor is not someone highly known or famous. You want to say "Hey looks it's Batman!", not say "Hey look it's Tom Cruise as Batman!".
Get my drift?

Tom Crazy would be an awful choice.
Saw Johnny Depp on TV the other day and he does bear a resemblence to Stark.
It worked for Jackman, and it worked for Reeve who was a relative unknown before Donner's Superman, but whether it worked for Routh is a whole 'nother story...

Erm when did I say that? 😕
It was posted to supply posters who are not familar with him reference to his film appearances. Those films would not pose as representations to anyone's acting ability even if it were Pacino.
Ah yes I failed to mention Reeve as well...

yeah, thats why you find actors that FIT the role. If they fit, there won't be any problems. You should be able to see 'so and so' play 'this character'. If i go watch see a movie with badass Biker gangs, and Tom Hanks is the lead biker...it just won't work, he wouldnt fit. Thats why you find the proper actor.
Johnny Depp can play just about any character in any movie
Jim Caviezel hasn't done anything wild to ruin himself like Cruise
and what movies did Hugh Jackman star in before Xmen?

Yes....exactly the reason why unkowns often "FIT" the role more efficiently than the popular A-listers, there in lies infinite variety & choice when searching for properly fitting actors to suit a role.
Johnny Depp would not work in my eyes personally, besides me not envisioning him as Tony Stark the audience would be looking at Johnny Depp and not Iron Man. This is the principle in which casting unknowns is based, the goal is to allow the audience to believe this character is alive & breathing. Someone with the status of Depp would distort the image of Iron Man we are made to believe is really there, regardless of any acting ability or appearance he may be equipped with.
Hugh Jackman's work prior to his involvement in the initial X-Men film consisted and centered around theatre acting as did that of Christopher Reeve's prior to his casting in the original Superman.
