Terrence Howard

Can't blame him for that. I imagine it must be really difficult for an actor to pull that off. Hope he takes the role, though, as he's a good actor. He's come a long way since playing the villain in Big Momma's House.

Yeah, I think Howard got noticed since Crash and then Hustle & Flow came which led to his Oscar nomination. Now, he has MANY projects on hand. Very busy actor nowadays. Well, gotta strike the iron while it's hot!

Only looks OK to me. It definitely can/should be better.

It's official: Robert Downey Jr. IS Iron Man!
Marking his first lead role in a big-budget action movie, Robert Downey Jr. will be putting on the "Iron Man" suit for Marvel Studios. Pic, set for release by Paramount in May 2008, will be the first to be self-financed by Marvel. Jon Favreau directs. "It's right along the lines of our other films, where we cast people who can become the characters," said Marvel production prexy Kevin Feige, pointing to the selection of Tobey Maguire, who'd never before starred in an action pic, as Spider-Man and the mostly low-profile cast of the "X-Men" movies. Downey will play Iron Man and his alter ego Tony Stark, a wealthy industrialist who invents a high-tech suit of body armor giving him superpowers when he is kidnapped. In the comics, Stark was an alcoholic, a trait that will undoubtedly draw public comparisons with Downey's own struggles with substance abuse. However, Feige said the first pic won't deal with Stark's alcohol problems, though it would likely come up in potential sequels. Downey's comeback has been bolstered by some recent high-profile work in "A Scanner Darkly," "Good Night, and Good Luck," the Shane Black pic "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" and the upcoming Nicole Kidman starrer "Fur," in which he has a leading role. First film will deal with Stark's invention of the Iron Man suit and his conflicted past as a weapons inventor. Under its financing agreement with Merrill Lynch, Marvel is allowed to spend up to $165 million on each of its films. Principal photography on "Iron Man" is set to begin in February. Feige is producing along with former Marvel Studios topper Avi Arad. --- I'm not quite sure of this choice. I know he can act but can he pull off the action hero role?

You know what? I think I like this move. In fact, it might be brilliant.
Who's gonna play someone with substance abuse problems better than Robert Downey Jr.? The great advantage here is that Downey will be in armor as a superhero. Since there's no need for him to be in tights, I think this should work. He's not exactly the leading man type I would picture for Tony Stark, but I think he'll bring a wonderful dissolute quality to the character. I can't believe he got the role, but he's a better choice than some stiff like Brandon Routh. I really figured they would go for the 25 year old actor. The 40-ish hero wouldn't work for most superheroes, but I think it can for Iron Man. And it's certainly a better choice than Bill Murray. Where do you stand on this, Randy?

You may not know this, but every script in Hollywood first passes across the desk of Bill Murray. If he wants it, he gets it. Otherwise, the scripts then go out to all the lesser actors on the planet.
