Iron Man is coming to theaters on May 2, 2008. The movie will feature Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark, Terrance Howard as Jim Rhodes, and Gwenyth Paltrow as “Pepper” Potts. Even though there is not much news circulating about this movie, and that it is almost a year away, my anticipation of this movie is high.
The cast picture is from Entertainment Weekly. At first, I was not sold on the idea of Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark. But, the more I see him in the promotional pictures, I think it actually might work. Who better to portray an alcoholic then someone who’s been there. Also, if you have ever seen Chaplin you know that Downey can act. I know Terrance Howard can act, but don’t you think there is someone else who could play Rhodes? Just asking the question. I refuse to be spoiled with any more details about the story than necessary, so no spoilers here.

I think Robert Downey, Jr. only got the role because of his addiction problems. Don’t you think that’s not fair to him? I remember when Tom Cruise was rumored for the role. I think he would have been better, but he probably wasn’t in the budget. Cillian Murphy, Casey Affleck, or someone of that ilk would have been better than Junior.
Who is Jeff Bridges supposed to be? Who or what is Iron Monger? Is this some newly created character? Why couldn’t they do the Mandarin?
That’s one cool ass poster.
