Well, he could pull it off. :\

I wonder how modern the origin story going to be, considering the current affair would provide such a means for a weapons inventor to create a suit, though it would go against the method.*

*Yes, I'm trying to dancing around the real-world issue of terrorism.

I thought they had cast Oded Fehr for the part a long time ago? He'd be perfect for Tony Stark and he has the acting skills.

Not sure how I feel about this. I tend to lean away from having big name stars playing superheros

And I always thought Ozzy was Iron Man. And he does share the same substance abuse problems as Robert Downey Jr. and Tony stark.

If the movie is about a man whose greatest obstical is his own personal demons, and how he chooses to rise above them ... I guess this might work.

As long as it's NOT Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks I'll be fine with it.

Whoa! Where's the love for Tom Hanks?

 

[Mycanid]

Tom Hanks as Iron Man? Come on....

Ah well ... who knows?

But yes - not to hijack the thread - I am not a Hanks fan at all.

Groooaaaaannnn!!!!

What were they thinking?

I had a lot more faith in the project when it was Oded Fehr (who never agreed to, he was 'in talks' about it).
