Iron Man Movie News

I can't think of a good actor for the look, but if anyone knows a good hollywood actor with a 1970's style Burt Reynolds or tom selleck look to them, that would be my starting point. NOT Leo Decaprio.

Thomas Jane.

George Cloney (SP)

*chuckle* Then I would refuse to see it.

How about Adam Baldwin from Firefly?

George Cloney (SP)

I think he would work, but Cruise would handle the playboy bit better.

Thomas Jane.

Heck, some balck hair die and a pencil-thin mustache, and he'd fit the image perfectly!

How about Adam Baldwin from Firefly?

Another good choice - plus we know he has a pretty good range of acting ability.

Whoever they cast as Iron Man has to pull off the playboy mentality yet carry that superhero chip that Stark has. My pick would be Pierce Brosnan or Adrian Paul. Both would be good in the role, especially Adrian Paul. So let's fill out the cast while we're at it:

Tony Stark: Adrian Paul/Pierce Brosnan
James Rhodes (War Machine): Cuba Gooding Jr.
Happy Hogan: Robert Patrick
Pepper Hogan: Kirsten Dunst
Mandarin: Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa
Nick Fury: Harrison Ford

Most of the villains would likely be cgi (Modok, Fin Fang Foom).

Tony Stark: Adrian Paul/Pierce Brosnan

The former I could see- the latter, no. He is getting on in age, and ideally you want to find someone who will play the role multiple times. He is too tied Bond and often voiced anxiety over it.

James Rhodes (War Machine): Cuba Gooding Jr.

HAHAHAHA. Are we turning this into a comedy?

Lawrence Fishburn if Tony is going to be older.

I am not sure who if Tony is going to be younger.

Happy Hogan: Robert Patrick

Why? He does not look much like a boxer, and would not do well in the good hearted but empty headed sidekick.

Pepper Hogan: Kirsten Dunst

And watch her kiss Patrick? That is pretty creepy. He could play her father.

Nick Fury: Harrison Ford

Nah, too pretty. Sam Elliot or Clint Eastwood.

You mentioned Modok- and that may be the answer for a good villian: A.I.M.

Just change the outfits! PLEASE!

Interesting cast. I haven't read Iron Man in a long, long while, so I'm not really too sure as to who everyone is. I think I last read it when Romita, Jr. or Simonson or someone like that was doing the art (this would be back in the early to mid '90's).

I think David Keith did a good job as Daredevil's father, and he might make a good Happy (well, he was a good boxer, at least).

And while I think Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa is an underrated actor, Chow Yun Fat would be my choice. Not only is he better known to mainstream audiences, but you can slap "Also starring Chow Yun Fat, star of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on all the ads (nothing like linking it to a film many people went nuts over).

I doubt Harrison Ford would take a secondary role, though. Maybe as the star of a Nick Fury movie.

As for Rhodes, that's a tough one. Fishburne is too big a name, and I can't really picture Cuba Gooding. Maybe the guy who plays Baldwin on NYPD Blue?

If you've ever seen Gooding's role in Men of Honor, you'd see he could play the dramatic side quite well. Sam Elliot would make a good Nick Fury (or even a Justin Hammer).
