i hate well known actors in hero movies, look at daredevil it sucked, cino it sucked, batman and robin it sucked, all have in commmon is huge actors.
all the successful movies are usually by relatively new actors . and that goes for most great successful movies they used new less known actors who became big becuz of the movie .
Batman and robin and DD sucked becuase of thier scripts and trying to cram too many characters into 1 movie.
A big film star is needed for Iron man to get a decent budget and good crowds in. A B-lister just wont cut it.
You forget Tom Cruise, Nic Cage, Clooney, all make good films with exceptions of course.
Tom Cruise (AKA biggest movie star in world), can act, his movies always make a load of cash, and has charisma to pull this role off.
You cast John Stamos or Dylan Mcdermoot well just end up with a average movie with hack director that does OK at the box office.
You cast Cruise, you get great director, better script , fantastic supporting cast, (you might even get Spielberg producing!) and it will make a ton. I dont care if his fees $20 million, itll easily make enough money to justify that.
And for the people who say he doesnt do sequels, well hes doing MI:3 at the moment, what does that tell you?
