Who should play Jim Rhodes a.k.a. War Machine?

[blind_fury]

According to Jon Favreau Jim Rhodes will appear in the first Iron Man. Who should play him?

[Son Of Logan]

Just throwing out a name... Taye Diggs?

[tecnowraith]

Jamie Fox, Micheal Jai White, Tyrese Gibson to name a few.

[Son Of Logan]

I'd think Fox name is still too big for this film. I really have no interest in Tyrese doing the role. MJW, as with most black superhero roles...I can see that.

[blind_fury]

I think we can do better than Tyrese. Sorry, but I can't stand that S.O.B..

Jamie Fox doesn't make a good action hero (see Stealth).

[Abaddon]

Ice Cube.:o

[blind_fury]

Ice Cube > Tyrese

[Son Of Logan]

Ice Cube > Tyrese

:up:

[tamron]

A lot of cast Rhodey has to do with who is cast as Tony. I think they need to be around the same age. That said, I can see a handful of candidates.

Michael Jai White: Look wise, he's Rhodey ripped straight from the comics. But with all due respect, he's not the greatest actor, just a passable one.

Henry Simmons: Though I'd much rather see him get Luke Cage, he could definitely play Rhodey. Great presence, commanding voice.

Shemar Moore: A little lighter than Jim is usually colored, but other than that, has the look. He's a solid actor. Rhodey has at times been written as a bit of a player, and Shemar could definitely highlight that part of the character. I think Jim as a character is 'harder' than most of his roles, I'm not 100% sure if he can deliver that part of the character.

Mehki Phifer: I think he's a very good actor, woefully underrated. I think he can definitely play the role well.

Derek Luke or Omar Epps might work as well.

Jamie's probably not an option. If he was too big to take the lead in Luke Cage, why would he want a supporting part in Iron Man?

Tyrese? Christ, no. I don't want him near any superhero. I'm hoping and praying Cage falls through on him.

Ice Cube, I like, but not for this particular role.

[U.S War Machine]

Just throwing out a name... Taye Diggs?Me too Will Smith

[Cinemaman]

Will there appear Jim Rhodes as War Mackine (in suit)???

[blind_fury]

Not until Iron Man 2 according to Favreau.

[Abaddon]

Morris Chesnut maybe?

[Cinemaman]

Not until Iron Man 2 according to Favreau.

Thank God! I dont want 2 superheroes to be in 1st movie, IM is enough for me.

[Ironfan72]

Thank God! I dont want 2 superheroes to be in 1st movie, IM is enough for me.

Agreed, plus it opens the door for a spin-off franchise.
I like either Micheal Jai White, or Omar Epps, both would be great Jim Rhodes,IMO.

[Radford]

Michael Jai White or Gary Dourdan

[Abaddon]

Not a bad choice either.

[Son Of Logan]

I think it's about time a poll was added to this thread.

[rickprague]

Terence Howard. Man can act, no questions there, and I'd rather see someone a bit older than Tyrese, Jamie Foxx, Taye Diggs etc...

I vaguely recall he was being mentioned for a role in John Singleton's Luke Cage, opposite Tyrese, is that still going ahead? I'd rather he do Iron Man than Luke Cage!

[Son Of Logan]

While I agree that Terrence Howard is quite an actor, I've got to say that at the moment I'm pretty much tired of seeing him. But hey...Ironman is still two years away. Maybe if Howard isn't in every movie between now and then I'll change my mind.

[tamron]

Morris Chestnut would be a damn good choice. I can't believe I didn't think of him!! In fact, he's now my #1, he's got eveything Rhodey needs. He's got the look, he's very talented, and has shown a solid range, doing dramas, comedies and action flicks in his career. As he's an established lead, so that if War Machine became a focal point in a sequel, you know he can carry his part of the film.

http://img335.imageshack.us/img335/5899/morrischestnut23zj.jpg

Terrence Howard as Rhodey seems wrong to me. He's not athletic enough, too light skinned. I'm not saying it's all about look, but if you have several viable candidates, talented actors who look or look close to the way the character is traditionally depicted, I see no need to go with a guy who looks nothing like the character.

[Son Of Logan]

You make good points, tamron. :up:

[portland2002]

Great suggestions for Jim Rhodes/War Machine.

[portland2002]

Wood Harris was one of the lead actors in "Remember the Titans".

[Son Of Logan]

Wood Harris was one of the lead actors in "Remember the Titans".

Ah...I've never watched that entire film.

[Eddie Dean]

I like the idea of Henry Simmons.

[Casius--J]

LOL i know morris chestnut would get some of the ladies i know into the cinema!!

But some good choices have been made, so far my fav would be michael jai white. I think he'd make a perfect rhody looks wise, but i agree his acting is a best passable.

[YJ1]

http://www.osobnosti.cz/images/gallery/5568.jpg

That's Luke Cage to me.

Since Tony Stark will probably be a relative unknown (ALA Hugh Jackman pre X-Men), you can't cast Jim Rhodes with a more famous actor (ALA Will Smith).

Two unknowns with presence and huge acting chops work for me. Then, throw the entire budget in to the FX.

[tamron]

See, now you're gonna get me started. :)

http://eur.yimg.com/i/xp/premier_photo/3/38a4ee4e86.jpghttp://members.aol.com/orgussv82/marvelknights/cage1.jpg
That's Cage to me.

Cage is not just strong he's tall. At 6'4", Simmons is taller than Morris and very close to Cage's 6'6".

Simmons is in good shape. See this pic: http://www.brendanmckillip.com/blog/images/tv_spartacus.jpg

And I think he's a good actor, he showed some chops on NYPD Blue.

[blind_fury]

Wood Harris

Great actor still looks young.

Too me he does great with drama is athletic and won't steal star time from the star tony stark but has a strong enough lead ability to put on the armor and fill in when stuff gets bad for tony with alcohol.

[Firehawk]

Morris Chestnut would be a good choice..

[Salemdog]

I'm not sure what the age factor is but you might consider Michael Beach. Movies T.V. and did voice work for Justice League.

Yup. Taye Diggs would be pretty cool. I'm sure Alimi Ballard would kill for the role too.

Yeah, you and I have been Simmon's biggest supporters here tamron. It's too bad that Singleton gave Tyrese the lead without considering any other upcoming actor. :down :down

[Abaddon]

Singleton is on Tyrese's testicles.

[Eros]

forget Jim Rhodes, who gonna play Iron Man here. I think their are a number of africai namerican actors that can do Rhodes, but whos Gonna play Iron-man/Tony should that not be a thread first?

[tamron]

It's too bad that Singleton gave Tyrese the lead without considering any other upcoming actor. :down :down

Yes, that's true. But the good news is there's been no real news about Cage for months, (IIRC, The last true update was during the premiere of Hustle and Flow, where Singleton said he wnated Terence Howard for Diamondback, the script was being tweaked, and that if he can't do it his way, he won't do it at all). Singleton has admitted there's been no motion on the film from New Line's end, and Marvel's dead quiet, leading me to believe that New Line will let Cage pass and Marvel is simply waiting to get the rights back.

[Hunter Rider]

Ving Rhames

[Iron Man™]

I like the choice of Simmons. He could play Jim well IMO. Even though he was my original choice for Luke Cage before Tyrese ended up getting the part.

:(

[ISHMAEL]

yeah or Samuel L.

Ah, too big and he's already been Kingpin. I'm kind of stumped on who should play this role. In my dreams it'd be Denzel Washington, but that ain't got a prayer.

[blind_fury]

Yeah Denzel would be awesome as War Machine. Nobody comes close.

[James"007"Bond]

Denzel is no second stringer.

I say throw Mos Def into the gym for about 6 months and there you have it, Rhody.

[blind_fury]

Mos Def!!! :eek:

why the Hell didn't I think of that?

Great suggestion Bond! :up::up:

It all really depends on who plays stark, cause starks age is a factor of how rhody should be.

Mos Def is an ok suggestion.

they're going to choose a hip rapper... that's the only way to plug in many of the African American audience now, seriously, get Usher, DMX or someone then you'll have gold on your hands

[kedrell]

Or someone with hidden talent, ala Jamie Foxx. I'd have never pegged him as a really good actor until I saw Collateral. All he did were comedies before that.

[L0ngsh0t]

Micheal Jai White

Morris Chesnut.

Michael Clark Duncan.

[tamron]

Jim isn't that big of a guy. MCD cuts too large and imposing a profile for Rhodey, IMHO. I mean, just think if he became War Machine, that would have to be some big armor! Rhodey should be around Tony's size so that it's plausible that the armor can fit both of them.

Brian White (The Shield, Mr. 3000) could be another candidate.

http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/1686/187js.jpg

[Son Of Logan]

Brian White is a great pick, tamron. :up:

[Iron Man™]

Yeah I agree with that choice. :up:

[Kvott]

An unknown would make a better War Machine. Less expectations. HOWEVER, that said, Michael Duncan Clark would get a good Rhodes...although he'd be a better "Rage" from the Avengers.

All in all, since War Machine is in the armor, I'm ok with just about anyone (except Martin Lawrence and Jamie Foxx -- sorry no comedians -- they'll take away from the movie)

[blind_fury]

Brain White is a solid pick.

http://www.marveldatabase.com/wiki/index.php/James_Rhodeshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_MachineHeight: 6'1" Weight: 210 lbs (95 kg) Eyes: Brown Hair: Brown James Rupert Rhodes was a pilot in the United States Marines stationed in Afganistan during the U.S. military involvement in the War on Terror. Blasted out of the sky by enemy rockets, Rhodes managed to land in one piece and was attempting to get his craft airworthy when inventory Tony Stark, clad in his Iron Man armor, happened by. Stark had just completed his original armor, had avenged his fellow prisoner, and was trying to make his way through the jungle to the American defense perimeter. Attacked by the Taliban, Iron Man proved to Rhodes they were on the same side, and Rhodes allowed him to drain the helicopter's batteries to recharge his armor. The two then trekked through the jungle together, finely discovering a hidden enemy rocket base. Stealing an enemy helicopter, they destroyed the base, and flew to the nearest American encampment. Before leaving Afghanistan for the United States, Stark offered Rhodes a job as a pilot as soon as his military stint was over. After a succession of other jobs, Rhodes finally accepted Stark's offer and became his personal pilot and chief aviation engineer. While working at Stark International, Rhodes aided Iron Man in his battles against such foes as the Roxxon Oil Company, Justin Hammer, the Dreadnoughts, and Obadiah Stane. ***Please note slight update in the war.***See above links for full history for everyoneGet an unknown!!!

[blackbyrd]

By the way, for those of you who don't know...in order to be a pilot in the Marines, you have to be an officer which means you have to have a college degree unless you were a Marine Mustang. This means, that in all liklihood, Rhody was 21 when he graduated college, got commissioned as an officer at age 22 with a six year pilot commitment to the Marines which puts him at 28 when his commitment was up. Bear in mind that Tony is 15 when he graduates Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and inherits Stark at 21. Let's say he goes to Afghanistan after a couple of years at the helm of Stark, that makes him 25, he gets hurt and captured at 26. This means that both Tony and Rhody are about the same age and less than thrity years old, so let's stop picking these freakin' old actors!!Let's do a little analysis first and the movie would be amazing!

Well I'd say that he's far closer to the "rugged military man" look that a lot of people want for Rhodes than Howard is. And even though he's a really good actor, he isn't a superstar so he wouldn't cost a boat-load of money. Howard may not cost a lot yet either but I'm sure that oscar nomiation will increase his asking price.
