Amph "You think you're the only superhero in the world?" - The Marvel Cinematic Universe

The thing is that RDjr effectively changed Tony Stark's personality into an exaggerated version of his own; if you get someone new, do you go back to Tony's original personality from the comics (kind of dry and analytical), or do you get your new actor to try and ape RDjr?

I've heard Jake Gyllenhaal's name linked to the part, and I think he could offer a good, more serious take on the role; Timothy Olyphant is someone else I think could work as Stark, mainly because I think he's so charismatic in Justified.

 

With Ben Affleck?

 

As someone who actually likes the Daredevil movie I wouldn't mind that.

But realistically, no, he'd obviously have to be recast.

 

There's also the possiblity, no matter how remote that maybe that RDJ may have Christopher Reeve'd Iron Man as far as the big screen goes. A lot of fans still consider Reeve to be the big screen definition of Superman, no matter that 30 years has gone by since Reeve first played the role and that he's been dead for a number of years now. (and too incapacitated to play the role for at least a decade prior to his death)

 

Or, instead of trying to force a 4th Iron man just pull back and use him in Avengers only otherwise you wind up just making a bad movie. I don't mind a single actor playing a role like this. You can other things and just make an occasional return to the role.

 

Yeah I'm fine with not having an Iron Man 4.

 

So should I start badgering Marvel for a consulting fee?

 

Admittedly, I'd still prefer a Black Widow film as she's the more known female property in the MCU, but if they can introduce Carol Danvers in the other films first, I'd have no problem with a Captain Marvel film.

*coughIdrisElbaforBladecough*

 

I would love a Black Widow film.

 

From the headline I just read RDJ is worried about money. **** you. if he dodges out of the franchise because he doesn't have enough money which he clearly does then I'll be more than prepared to accept someone else as Iron Man.

 

If Timothy Olyphant dyes his hair black and grows facial hair similar to Stark, they can have all of my money.

 

For the overall MCU... I thought Captain America (and Evans' portrayal of him) was fine in the Avengers... but Captain America as a standalone movie was kind of boring to me. Same with Thor; good in the Avengers, kind of boring as a standalone movie.

Regarding RDJ... I enjoyed the irony at the very end of Iron Man 3 of hearing Tony Stark, as voiced by RDJ, end his little voiceover monologue by saying "I am Iron Man."

 

No. I'm terribly sorry.

I wouldn't take it so personally, if I were you. If RDJ thinks he can get Disney to pay him more money than last time--which he clearly does--why would he not push for more?

By this logic we should boycott any movie star who makes more than about $300,000 for a movie role, because any actor who gets cast consistently really wouldn't need more than that to live more than comfortably.

 

Hmmmm....

Spoiler

Does this mean we possibly get to see an awesome badass fight between SLJ and Redford? Because if we do, I may actual fork over money to see this in a theater.

 

In which case will wind up with

Spoiler

Nick Fury dying and being replaced with Tony Stark as SHIELD director.

 

Spoiler

Like Tony would actually want THAT job.

 

Dunno, he did it in Civil War. OMG Avengers 2 is Civil War.

 

Spoiler

Isn't Hill next in the chain of command if Fury dies though?

 

Yes, but after the mess that was Civil War, Maria Hill resigned to her old position of Deputy Director under Tony Stark.

Besides...Cobie Smulders isn't exactly bankable like SLJ or RDJ.

 

If memory serves Hill under Tony became quite literal under his leadership as head of SHIELD.

Not yet at least. Look at Clark Gregg, if they announced he'd take over SHIELD in phase III the internet would declare a day of celebration.

 

Bit of a difference, as Clark Gregg was given free reign to create his own character from scratch...so much so that I'm pretty sure the line about 'tase you and watch Supernanny while you drool on the carpet' was his own idea.
