If they do that, then this is just gonna be one of those movies with great potential but they they blew it by casting an actor just because they're a big name celebrity, not because of their talent. I'd rather have some unknown actor play Tony Stark.

I've long been a supporter of this project, I think it would be awesome. But please, at least try to find a good Tony Stark. Just don't throw the role at someone like Reeves to chew on.

I don't see how a realistic Iron Man costume can be made for a live-action movie. In the comics, the suit has a metallic sheen but is flexible like cloth. A rubber or spandex suit wouldn't work. What could they be planning?

I'm thinking CGI or maybe they'll come up with some extremely flexible metallic synthetic to use.

He can move in it, yea, but it's supposed to be a very heavy metal suit.

i agree new actors i would like to see the big screen but the suit better not look like the suite that made in the STEEL film with shaq. as the hero the suit in that film could have looked a little better looking he didnt fly in that movie wich sucked and they have changed the iron man suit alot of times in the comic tony stark also created war machine

damn this movie is far off. its so far off that hoping a certain actor plays iron man(i forget the actual characters name) is unneccesary. i imagine the flying being handled similarly to jingle all the way with arnold shwarzenager.

Screenwriter David Hayter's latest draft of Iron Man has won over New Line and the studio is going out with it to directors to get the project started in early 2005:

Sources advised IGNFF that this draft of Iron Man is very Tom Clancy-esque in tone and involves the conflict between Tony Stark and his father Howard over Stark Industries. The Armored Avenger's origin has been updated from the Vietnam back story used in the comics.

Just read in a magazine:

"Justin Timberlake is currently rumoured to be in negotiations to star as Tony Stark in the Marvel comics movie adaption of Iron Man"

The Justin story better be a rumor. The studios are overdosing on comic hero movies and I predict that after this binge, we won't see any comic book hero movie for another 10 years.

Sounds like nothing more than a bad rumor. That really might be the worst casting rumor i've ever heard.

Who would you guys like to see for Tony Stark? I've heard alot of pushers for Tom Cruise, he could sleepwalk this role in my opinion. I just hope it doesn't go to a pansy like Justin Timberlake.

Also, concerning the plot, do you guys think they should delve into Tony Starks alcohol addiction? The supposed conflict between Tony Stark and his dad seems a little thin for a full fledged movie. Where's the villianry? Having a father-son conflict reminds me a bit too much of The Hulk for comfort.

I did read an impressive rumour a while back which stated that Tom Cruise (who would be my pick) was in negotiations and would likely do the film if it was 'Gritty'. There was meant to be a re-write of the script to incorporate the Alcoholic ear of the comics for GRIT to woo Cruise onboard. With Mission Impossible 3 on the shelf AGAIN there is a good chance that Iron Man will be the next film for Cruise after War of the Worlds.

I do pray, however, that this Timberfake rumour is nothing more than a red herring. I've never been much of a Tom Cruise fan, but I really do think he'd be pretty much perfect for the role.
