Aside from the Chaplin movie, has anyone seen Downey with a moustache? thats kind of the Tony Stark trademark. I dont think Downey can pull it off. I'm betting Iron man will be next year's Fantastic 4.

I'm guessing worse, at least Fantastic 4 had Jessica Alba to look at

How about a moustache and beard?

Awesome news. So far, comic books movies have been total crap. Good to see Hollywood is digging deep into the creativity well for another no-plot, poorly acted, CGI crapfest. But at least they can make a line of toys!

I've enjoyed the X-Men series, but overall, I agree.

Batman Begins was excellent.
Both Spiderman movies were good.

There are some exceptions. As mentioned, X-men, Batman Begins were good, and Spiderman 1 & 2 were okay. But for every one of those, there's an Incerdible Hulk, Fantastic 4, or something with Ben Affleck.

It's a completely unoriginal concept. It's got a 50% chance of being a CGI shitfest. It's got a 50% chance of being devoid of plot or acting.

I just wish Hollywood would display a little more creativity. What's next? Another WW2 movie shot in bland color?

Tony always had an alcohol problem towards the mid run first issue series.
It worsened with the hostile take over by Obidia Stane, costing Tony EVERYTHING.
If it weren’t for Ginger, Happy, and Rodney Tony would never have beaten it (the alcoholism) and ultimately Stane and gaining back his company.

Also a very solid candidate would be Ben Afleck. He'd make a wicked Tony Stark.

That was Jim Rhodes, a very close friend of the original Iron Man, Tony Stark. Rhodey took over for Stark when Stark was battling alcoholism, and not very well for a while. Then after Stark got back on his feet, he made a new suit of armor for Jim and he called himself War Machine. The armor was destroyed, and Jim retired from the superhero biz.

I agree, Mr. Laz. Problem is that there aren't many heavy box office actors who really fit the bill. At least that I can think of.

Mr. Over-Head suggested Matthew McConaughey which isn't a bad choice, I suppose. Christian Bale wouldn't be bad, but he's busy doing Batman movies and all.

Ben Afleck would be a wicked choice.
