Iron Man Favreau is Happy Hogan!

[FlawlessVictory]

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet but if you listen to the audio from the roundtable interview at ComicCon that Comingsoon.net put up, Favreau basically confirms that he is Happy Hogan. At least, that's the way I took it:

Interviewer: How does it feel from going to an actor in a comic book film to directing it? Do you miss being in Daredevil?

Favreau: No, because I can always stick myself in the movie. And I was very Happy to be in the movie.

I: Very Happy.

F: Yea, I was very Happy.

I: Ok, got ya.


Did anyone else pick that up? Here is the audio link: http://www.comingsoon.net/audio/favreauironman.mp3

I noticed him in the Comic Con footage too; he was there when that hot lookin woman asked Stark about Leonardi DiVinci.
To me,it looked like he was opening the door for Stark,just like a chauffeur would....a chauffeur named happy Hogan lol

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

That's great!

 

[Mister Sinister]

He knows his history and just wants to marry Gwyneth Paltrow.

 

[Flint Marko]

I actually did notice he was in the preview, but I didn't think about Happy Hogan

 

[TheCosmonaut]

So... who's Jarvis?

So... who's Jarvis?

Possibly Bill Smitrovich http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0810488/

or


Dave Andrews http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2236443/

both are in it.

 

[Ironfan72]

If you watch the footage, when Stark is addressing the the soldiers, there is a 4 star General standing next to Rhody, thats Bill Smitrovich, he plays a character named General Gabriel.

 

[kedrell]

Sounds like the kind of character he'd play. The other guy is still up in the air as to who he's playing. Could be Jarvis.

 

[wiegeabo]

I though Favreau cast himself as a casino worker on the last night of Vegas shooting.

 

[kedrell]

That was a rumor.

I've always thought that he beared a resemblance to the way Happy was drawn in the comics.

 

[Advanced Dark]

I figured he was always Happy and maybe Happy was also his security in Ceasers scene.

 

[3dman27]

in the movie will happy be depcted as a former conventional boxer or will he be upgraded to kickboxer?

I've always thought that he beared a resemblance to the way Happy was drawn in the comics.

Agreed.
