Robert Downey Jr. is......Iron Man!!!!!

That makes me slightly mad. Of all the people in the world that is the work pick for an actor. I am pretty sure there where better actors than him. In all honesty if this movie is a bomb, then one of the main reasons will be the actor they chose. There has to be someone that can better portray a rich guy with nothing better to do than fight crime.


After I typed that I thought to check IMDB and they have no set cast for the movie yet. It says Terrance Howard is in talks to be Warmachine, which would be a great thing. It doesnt say anything about who is going to be Tony Stark. If anyone I would pick Hugh Laurie. He has the uncaring bit down so having him deal weapons to the highest bidder would seem to be a problem. He seems to be able to pull off the badass antihero-hero attitude as well. Also if they plan to put Stark in a wheelchair at any point in the movie, he also has expirance with being crippled.

If it is Robert Downey Jr. then that is a sad day, just like the day we realized Halle Berry should not be a superhero.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I dont need to make a point in what I said. I think Robert Downey Jr. Is a bad actor. He was one of the reasons that Kiss,Kiss,Bang,bang didnt get a nation wide release date. Also look at the history of his movies. The only time he has had a good movie is when he was surrounded by other actors who are in many ways better than him, or when he is given a great script to work off of. Other than that he has no real acting talent. Half of his movies dont even get a limited release. It be honest, he is a hasbeen, most of his roles have been side characters or poorly acted lead roles. He has no emotional depth at all.

Also like I said, IMDB does not have him listed for the Iron Man Project, it doesnt even say he is in talks to be in any part of the moive at all. So this isnt a set in stone fact that he will be in the moive. Plus that comic site doesnt look have as trust worthy as IMDB.com, and doesnt even have mention on Terrence Howard being WarMachine. Not to trust worthy in my eyes.

Now if my suggestion for Hugh Laurie as Iron Man leads to you beleive that I "adore House" then you are jumping to conclusions. it is indeed a good show, but I do not adore it. In thinking I figure he is a better actor than Downey Jr. for the soul fact that if you only heard him talk as 'Gregory House' you would never know that he has a english accent. Downey Jr. can barely speak his normal lines with out having to alter his voice in any way. Scanner Darkely is a prime example of his mumbled acting as is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

That is why I think hell will freeze over if Robert Downey Jr. gets the role of Iron Man.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I still think that Jr. is a horrible choice. Just because he looks like him doesn't give any reason to cast. So far the only person that makes any sense is Terrence Howard. Paltrow!?!?!?! Not going to touch this.

All I can say is WTF is with this casting? Why are they putting so many well known actors into a movie like this? Its just going to end like Blade Trilogy, and that was not a good ending.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
