Iron Man IRONMAN Casting Thread [merged-15]

[Advanced Dark]

I like Downey Jr, and even made a thread regarding him taking the role but after seeing him in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang he seems to ragged like he wouldn't be able to last a franchise. He looks like a burn-out.

 

[Abaddon]

isn't tad hamilton a fictional character?

i was just joking. he was a burn-out. in and out of rehab like every year. and got arrested for drug possesion or something. he's the classic rich guy who abuses himself by being dependant on drugs.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Not an unknown but also not a oversaturated personality either. Someone suggested his brother Kevin but Kevin is a joke actor.

 

[Abaddon]

I picture Dillon as more of an everyman.

 

[Cinemaman]

Jim Caviezel, Mark Ruffalo, John Stamos, Matt Dillon and Robert Downey Jr.

They are my favorite candidates.

But the only bad thing is that they all are 40s-years old. Thats bad, because when 3rd movie come, some of them will be 50s.

We need 35 years-old actor.

Good point. He just doesn't look like an industrialist. Also he looks funny with a mustache.

 

[The Revengers]

Rufus Sewell

To honor the new Ironman Hype. This is who I think should play Tony Stark.

Since it's not going to be a big time A-lister(for $ reasons) I think Mark Ruffalo(Collateral) would be a great choice. Here's a pic, just imagine him w/o his hair slicked back:

BTW, he's 39 so that could present a problem(sequel-wise).

 

[DeFett]

I like the idea of Jim Caviezel in the role.

 

[kedrell]

Colin Ferrel has the right look and the right age(he's 30) but I think he's too big to get now.

 

[Abaddon]

Caviezel is an excellent choice.

 

[kedrell]

Jim Caviezel is 38 so sequels could run into trouble.

 

[Abaddon]

How old is Tony in the comics?

 

[kedrell]

Around 30 I believe. Same as Bruce Banner and Reed Richards.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Colin Farrel isn't too big for Iron Man. Iron Man is too big for him.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Van Damme for Iron Man!

 

[blind_fury]

I always thought Bruce Banner and Reed Richards were at least 35.

 

[blind_fury]

Colin Farrel isn't too big for Iron Man. Iron Man is too big for him.

haha!

It's so true it hurts.

 

[kedrell]

Colin Farrel isn't too big for Iron Man. Iron Man is too big for him.

I meant for how conservative they want to be with the budget. He'd cost anywhere from 10-15M.

 

[kedrell]

I'm thinking not quite as "unknown" as Brandon Routh but close.

 

[Sub-Zero]

isn't that what jon favs said? "an unknown like brandon routh"

 

[Brian2887]

I just watched Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, and I really am leaning toward Robert Downey Jr. now. Dude can act.

 

[Abaddon]

he's in his mid 40s

 

[Brian2887]

he's in his mid 40s

How old is this Iron Man supposed to be? I hate the idea of a super young billionaire CEO. He'd need time to get everything together.

To me, late 30s / early 40s is about perfect.
