Iron Man 2 Gary Oldman Doesn't Join Iron Man 2

[[A]]

ok, so Oldman's not in (or is he?) but they should keep having people over, so the internet would go crazy with rumours (and we too, of course)

Oldman NOT in Iron Man

Yesterday IESB reported an interesting rumor that Gary Oldman had joined the cast of IRON MAN 2 in an unspecified role. Something about this (specifically that Mr. Oldman was in the thick of shooting BOOK OF ELI) struck me as odd so I decided to do a little digging. I called Mr. Oldman's longtime manager Douglas Urbanski and we spoke briefly this afternoon about IRON MAN 2. And? It's not true.

Mr. Urbanski said that Gary was right in the middle of the ELI shoot and hadn't left the set once except to return home to see his children (so seeing him on the IRON MAN 2 set would be impossible). He also said that Gary is very happy with the Batman franchise (and Warner Bros. in general for whom he also worked on ELI and HARRY POTTER with) and wouldn't sign on to another superhero franchise out of respect. So nope, it's not true and nobody involved with Mr. Oldman knows how the rumor came about.

But where one rumor ends, another pops up. Mr. Urbanski said, while referencing Batman and THE DARK KNIGHT, that he was scheduled to talk to Christopher Nolan later today. Could Mr. Oldman be looking at INCEPTION as his next film?

He should've play a character named Gorten.. for all the people who can't spell Gordon

 

[kedrell]

^Is he a fisherman? I think I've had some of his fish sticks.

 

[The Squirrel]

So the real question is... who is Oldman's twin that was seen on set?

 

[kedrell]

^Good question.

You know he's not cast now right?

I got a little excited when I saw this on the front page. It's too bad he won't be in it. I thought maybe he would've make a cameo appearance as Howard Stark in a flashback scene.

I've always wondered, what does the Z in ZOMG stand for?

 

[Aztec]

Well yes, now I do. Oh well, still and excellent cast.

Scoop: Christian Bale cameo in Iron Man 2 in a scene with a meeting between Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark!!!

 

[SWAT]

That would be epic.

 

[mjbull23]

Oldman has a twin? lol

Nothing. The "Z" was a mistake when people were going to hit the Shift button on your keyboard. It was something like that.

This is when the internet is a bad thing...all these websites rush to get a "scoop" when it's not even a real f--king story. It's taken all the integrity out of reporting. Any piece of news, even a rumor or small tidbit at all is regarded as fact. Case in point: Samuel L and Rourke are both "quoted" as merely mentioning that they might not be in Iron Man 2. Websites everywhere: "ROURKE AND JACKSON OUT OF IRON MAN 2."

When in reality its just contract negotiations. Then the fans b--ch and moan: "Marvel sucks! they dropped the ball." If those stories were never leaked at all and no one ever knew anything about the contract stuff and what was really going on behind the scenes, it would be announced that Rourke/jackson are part of the Iron Man 2 cast. And the fans, never knowing the trials and tribulations of it all, would now say "Marvel is God. Awesome casting!"

So repetitive and annoying.
