Iron Man Jeff Bridges Joins the Cast

[Carlo Comicus]

The cast of this movie is amazing. Bridges it's a great actor. Great choice, Jon!

 

[Hunter Rider]

Another fine addition,sounds like he will be playing a movie made character as well.......now we just need Mandarin casting

 

[Ironman24]

Interesting casting, I love Jeff Bridges, a great actor, I'll be interested in seeing what role his character will play in the film, I thought for sure it would be Mandarin they would announce, what a talented cast, no weak links in any of the actors.

 

[Casius--J]

Woa Jeff bridges, did not see that one coming. nor did i see any of the people cast coming except howard who i had a guess might join. But its looking good acting wise these care some strong actors.

And there's nothing wrong with paltrow's casting, she'll do fine!!

 

[echostation]

Mother of God this is so so so so bloody awesome

Who would've thought: Gwenyth Paltrow in an Iron Man movie. Robert Downie Jr in an Iron Man movie, Terrence ****ing Howard in an Iron Man movie, and now THE DUDE? Jeff Bridges himself... bloody superstar of Tron is going to be in Iron Man!!

This kicks so much ass... I actually have to really really thank one person... Don the ****eater Murphy.. Thank you for so screwing up the project when you were working on it such that now, in the right hands, with Marvel Films it stands its greatest chance of being one of the best comic book films ever

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

OMG...Jeff Fricken Bridges???

Can it get any better? Seriously!!! Wow.

 

[Ironfan72]

This is great news, Jeff is yet another talented actor added to the cast, all thats really left is Mandarin.

It say's that he's a confidant and close business associate of Tony's, I wonder and this is just wild speculation, that since they are keeping his characters name a secret, that Jeff may be playing either Obidiah Stane or Justin Hammer, who for stories sake is a friend in the beginning but turns on Tony later in the movie and becomes a business rival, just thinking out load.

 

[FlawlessVictory]

And the hits keep coming! Nice!!

 

[Miranda Fox]

Jeff Bridges = awesome.

There's nothing more to say.

WAS: Best Movie Cast Ever

JEFF BRIDGES FTW!

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

JB is a great actor, this is a good addition to the cast.

 

[Prognosticator]

I'll say this much, Jeff Bridges is a nice addition to ANY movie!

 

[Red Mask]

Oh yeah, this cast is tops.

 

[TheBeastWithin]

Can they fit any more big name actors in this thing? Great news.

 

[Red Mask]

If they have actors cameos then they're not taking it seriously enough. Hopefully we won't see "Tony Stark" at some gala with Hollywood starts like Tom Cruise.

 

[fletch1076]

Here is my question. Who is he playing? They said in the press release that the cast is now rounded out. Yet no announcement on Manderin, and it you remember Farveu said that Manderin would not be the way he was in the comics becuae to have him like that would be "silly" or "offensive". Could bridges be manderin, or perhaps Starks Sr., or who was Starks main busness competition, the guy who started the iron wars? I can't remember his name.

I heard Favreau is currently negotiating with Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro .

 

[Advanced Dark]

I like Jeff. He's in several of my favorite films including Tron, Tucker & The Big Lebowski. They guy can act and usually doesn't put himself in these kind of films. People questioned how Marvel would handle their first studio film with Iron man...well they're doing superb so far. Surely much of it has to do with the respect Jon Favreau has in the industry.

 

[Mauser9910]

Amazing cast... My head just might explode IF the IM suit looks as amazing !

I know that Jon confirmed that Obadiah Stane would be a character last summer during an AICN interview. If they do take that approach with the character, it may be interesting to see. Come to think of it, I could see the character being written that way. Stane would play mind games in the comics, and I could see something were he establishes a friendship with Stark, only to turn on him later.

I must say, this Iron Man movie is shaping up to be a good one. We just need some news on the villains front.

 

[Spider-Fan]

This flick is attracting some really good actors.

Now all we need is to find out who is playing the Mandarin.

 

[Caliber]

Great addition to the cast and I hope that we hear Mandarain casting soon.

I highly doubt that Bridges will be The Mandarin.

When Fav's made those remarks about his idea for the Mandarin, I'm pretty sure that he just meant he won't have him portrayed in a way that could be seen as derogatory; a cliched stereotype that could be considered offensive in this day and age to some folk.

As mentioned previously, Bridges could be Stane or Hammer.

Or a character invented entirely for the movie.

Or the Unicorn.

It's anyones guess really.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Oh yeah, I forgot......great casting!!!

 

[Gold Samurai]

I highly doubt that Bridges will be The Mandarin.

thats what some said about Neeson taking Ra's Ah Ghuls role even if Ra's is suppose to look like a middle eastern man

the starman meets Ironman genius!

plus teaming up the dude with downey, how bad of an acid trip will this movie be now heh

stark- i'm flying!!!

the dude-no man your on the floor thinking your flying!
