Robert Downey jr. is rumoured to be cast as Iron Man in the upcoming adaption. Feel free to geek out.

WHAT? I will need to consult my sources on this. I just do not believe that he is iron man.

 

BAH, my sources confirm this rumor. Well it is directed by Favreau and I like his work.

When I first saw this post, I was very very sceptical. But it's growing on me.

Yea... I am warming to the idea.

 

*grumbles about someone beating him with the rumor*

I don't think I like the pick for Iron Man. I am sure they could have done better.

Terrance Howard has been pegged to play Jim Rhodes aka War Machine.

 

Okay looks like Mandarin is going to be the villain. So who do you think will be cast as Mandarin.

 

My pick is Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa

I know nothing about the comic. What is this villian like?

I am not to impressed with this villian. I guess I will check out the movie.

If you saw the Marvel Action Hour back in 1996 you'd know that Mandarin was cool!

In early cast talks that Oded Fehr was considered as Tony Stark. He is the man I would have wanted to see in the roll.

 

 

That is a picture of Oded. He looks EXACTLY like Tony Stark. Just look at any picture of Tony Stark you can find.

I'm very doubtful about Robert Downey Jr. It will take a good acting on his part to make it believable for me. He just doesn't look like Stark and that's a big thing for me. I'm a huge Iron Man fan.
