IRONMAN Casting Thread [merged-15]

Colin Farrell could do it he is a great actor, but he would be a nightmare promotionally because he can't stop swearing and Marvel probably wouldn't like that.
can you imagine him on a tv show promoting it F'ing every other word.
plus he's doing Miami vice next year.
The main thing is there is lots of good suggestions all over these boards so it seems easier to get a good iron man than a crap one

 

Rob Lowe looks like he will be taking the role for Iron Man...it sounds really cool. Do you think Hayters draft is going to do it justice?

 

Slap a mustache on him, and I can see it. Lowe would be cheap. But he's inconsistent acting wise. I still say: Dylan for IM!!!

 

Oh my dear Lord let that not be true.

 

I don't know I think he coud do better then Tom Cruise...I'm a cybernetics student so I'm kind of excited by this film...I mean just look at the possibilities.

 

Cybernetics eh? Interesting. Hopefully the movie suit will incorporate modern cybernetics theories and concepts. It'll help ground the whole thing in reality.
Keep posting the IM pics too zee zack - they're good reference.

 

Cybernetics is studying the interface between man and machine... it also covers the internet.

I just think that if this film is done correctly you can look into the effects of mental and physical strengths and weakenesses placed on the man. Alternative ego's, energy deplition and boosted metabolism. Let alone the use of telekenetics and rockets etc.

 

WOW someone who finally agrees with me! Colin would be really good as Tony Stark

He would also be a really good Nightwing. (if they went mid 20's age)

 

As long as Clint Howard is MODOK, I'll be happy with it.

 

I actually like him better than cruz for the part.

 

it's not like he has never done an interview without cussing the whole time. The man knows how to control himself in SOME situations.

 

Clint Howard is a no-good bum.

If M.O.D.O.K. is in the film he'll be a practical/CG effect voiced by Mark Hamill.

(Well, maybe not Hamill , but you get the idea..)

 

He looks like somebody who would drink a lot too.

And it's not because he's Irish.

 

Dude, if the star of Atomic Train plays Iron Man...there is no justice in the world...and Avi Arad needs to be smacked...twice.

 

mr cruise has been determined to be unavailable, ladies and gentlemen. lets accept that and move on please.

 

..Hm so why not let play one actor every Marvel characters...
In fact i wonder why they didn't choose him for the role of the Invisible Woman instead of Jessica Alba ..Invisible Woman and the rest of the Fantastic Four members ..it's strange they used different actors ..hm.

 

He could be good, but IMO James Cavieziel is a better actor and would suit IM better

 

Some of us are slowly coming around to that fact, as painful as it is...

 

Cavieziel would suck as Iron Man IMO.

I say cast Colin and lets start filming this Bi-otch!

 

I object for a couple of reasons. First of all he already played bullseye. Second of all, in all of his performances as an American he always reminds me he's putting on the accent. He can slip every now and then towards a pronuciation of something that doesn't sound right and it always takes you out of the movie because it's so distracting.

 

According to the recent Marvel release dates the IRON MAN script will be ready in 2006. Does that mean Tom Cruise could still do Iron Man? I hope so because I've yet to see a Marvel film with good production values.

 

He can't, check the dates again the movie is due for release in 2006-the script by David Hayter has already been completed and accepted by New Line and the film starts shooting early 2005(check the early 2005 start thread)at which time TC wil be getting ready to do Mi3,its a shame i would have liked to see him as IM

 

I hadn't heard Rob Lowe's name come up before,interesting how rumors get started. One thing that caught my attention is that Marvel will court a major Hollywood actor to star,I would be interested in who they have in mind.

 

If they're looking to cast a major star for Tony Stark/Iron Man, then I would suggest Jim Caviezal.

 

The Rob Lowe rumour has been officially debunked (thankfully) by the film's producer Don Murphy on his website.
