I know it technically is a "comic book movie" but I always saw Iron Man as having some of the best cross-appeal. If done well, it could bring in a lot of the mecha-anime fans. And kids would absolutely love to play as Iron Man. If Hulk hands and Thing feet sell off the shelves, what would a wicked Iron Man armor do?

So when Ahnold loses his re-election bid, he could play Iron Man!

Man I hope they do this right. Tony Stark is just a cool Muther...shut your mouth. If I had my way I would cast one of three people:

1. Resurrect Clark Gable. "Frankly, Captain America, I don't give a damn!"
2. A young Burt Reynolds.
3. A young Tom Selleck with acting ability.

Well, since Tom was up for the role before he did War of the Worlds- he did sign on. Now since he has done that movie- he has decided to not do it. As far as I know-there has never been anyone else in mind.

But who else-besides the old guys could do that role...

hmmmmm....what about Jake Glynhall(sp)-new kid in Jarhead?

Anyone but Cruise.

You hit it right on the head. I don't know about the off screen man, but Gable had class. Smooth. Guys like that you could see on screen and say hey I wouldn't mind being like him. Today? Forget it. (except for me maybe Denzel fits in that category and Sean Connery for when I get older.) I think unfortunately its a by-product of TMI in regards to their private lives. There are TV shows about Tv Shows. (Extra, E entertainmant, Access Hollywood, Entertainment tonight) Then the magazines "Brad Pitt: Is he regular? Photo's from his toilet in this issue of US weekly."

It leads to the Ben Afleck effect. i.e. "He's playing Daredevil? Aww Crap!"

since the project left New Line, the company that will be getting it *I FORGOT WHICH ONE* they are going to approach Tom Cruise again, and I remember if that doesnt work they might ask Johnny depp to play tony Stark.

Il try and find the info again.

Johnny Depp as Stark sounds interesting. But I also thought of Tom Selleck back in his heyday would have seemed interesting.

Hell, how about Gary "Commish Gordon" Oldman?!?!
