Iron Man Movie(Speculation and Discussion)

this is the one comic book movie I've been waiting to see for a long time. one of my favorite comic book characters. it's in development right now. New Line Cinema will be releasing it. the last I heard on screenwriters for it was Alfred Gough and Miles Millar(guys from Smallville). now who should play Tony Stark? i'm going against my better judgement on this but I think Tom Cruise would do a good job of playing the alcoholic billionare guy. hopefully this comes out sometime in my lifetime

I'm really excited for this movie. But only if they get a good writer and actor. While I don't mind cruise, there are better people. Can't wait to see what they come up with

Hm... That's a tough one, because I really can't think of a whole lot of people who I'd be happy with playing the role. The easy answer is a fairly unknown actor.
The best person I can think of off the top of my head is Jesse Spencer, from House, MD. With the right makeup, I think that he could pull it off well. Frank Grillo from Prison Break could also do a good job with the role.

A lot of people may not like Tom Cruise because of his personal life, but in truth he is a very good actor. Iron Man is one of my favorite super heros, so I want this movie pulled off well, I think Cruise would make a good Stark.
When is this movie set for release?
And...how about some speculation on villans?

originally when it was announced that a Iron Man movie was going to be done it was summer of 2006. obviously that's not going to happen now. last i heard was something in Fall 2007 or Summer 2008

I hope it is NOT Tom, but mostly because I think it would be harder to get him to do a full trillogy

good point. we'd want someone who'd be more likely to do a sequel. what does everyone think of Collin Farrell playing him? i think he'd do a great job. only thing is he's played a marvel character before which is Bullseye in the Daredevil movie

After seeing his likeness in the Amazing Spider-Man comics, I think it would've been great to see Timothy Dalton in the role. Unfortunately, he's too old for the role right now.
The only other person I could see in the role has been mentioned already: Tom Cruise. I doubt it would ever happen, though.

After watching Prison Break again, I think that I'd like the guy I mentioned before - he looks the part and I think that he could pull it off. Tom Cruise just doesn't (for me) really look the part, and I think that his persona wouldn't help very much.

Cruise was mentioned for a possible lead role a few years ago. I can't beleive I'm saying this....(cause this would be his kind of role. Despite what people think of him now...He is a very good leading man when it comes to action movies,) but...I think he may be getting a little old for this type of role. *sighs* Getting old sucks..
Hey about Matt Salinger???  (a little Captain America joke there..if no one got it)

I remember hearing something about this a couple of years ago. IIRC Oded Fehr was mentioned as Tony Stark.

I think Tom Cruise is still attached to it. IIRC he is EP-ing it and part of that deal is him playing Tony.
That should work fine. You don't need a unknown actor for every superhero movie out there and you don't need to worry about a trilogy.

I just don't want Justin Timberlake, as had been previously rumoured.

I think Tom Selleck could play the part. He's old enough, he's got plenty of acting experience, and I daresay he looks the part.
