Iron Man Pepper Potts.

[kedrell]

Let's think for a minute. Tony Stark is one of the world's richest men and one of the leading industrialists in America. He's the head of a multi-national, several hundred billion dollar company. Women who get to the position of executive assistant/secretary to a guy like that are practically executives themselves, not just some 20 year old part timer who was hired through Temps-R-Us. The job probably pays six figures a year so I'd think you'd need someone with experience, brains and hutzpah in that role.

I'd just rather not fall into the trap that both Batman Begins and Superman Returns got stuck in. Did anyone believe twenty-something Katie Holmes as the assistant district attorney for Gotham City? Not really. Did anyone believe twenty-something Kate Bosworth as a multiple Pulitzer winning world renowned ace reporter? Not really. I'm not saying it can't be someone in their 20's, but she needs to project some maturity and gravitas on screen.

Kidder was 30 when Superman '78 came out and Basinger was 36 when Batman '89 came out. Nobody complained about their age when those movies came out, but I heard a lot of critics complain about the female leads for SR & BB.

Stan Lee picks...Kirsten Dunst but clearly he realizes being in Spiderman it would be too weird:

And, as it turns out, he'd go with "none of the above."

"I originally conceived Pepper as a loyal secretary: pretty as hell but a working girl. If she wanted a stylist, she could compete with the legions of beautiful models who are constantly flocking to Tony Stark. But she doesn't want that," Lee told MTV News. "So these women that are being thrown out there, they're not right at all. She's not supposed to be too buxom, or if she is, it wouldn't show too much. She's just an average working girl.

"But, if I had to make a choice, I would probably go with Kirsten Dunst. It's too bad that she's in the 'Spider-Man' films, because she can look like the girl next door, or she could look glamorous," Lee continued. "I'll be honest, I'm not too familiar with most of the girls though. I don't know who Kelly Brook is. I haven't ever seen Lindsay Lohan on the screen."

I knew those horn dogs over there didn't have a clue what would work. They just started posting their wet dream girls.

Well said!

Yup, I really can't stand loser, zitty, teen-wanker fanboys without a woman and a social life.

 

[Ironfan72]

That's pretty much right, I posted Alyson Hannigan first and after that it got embarrassing, I mean Stacy Kiebler from WWE, come on, she's hot, but she's not Pepper Potts.
People posting pics of half nude women on myspace shouldn't surprise anyone, most of those guys who post those pics are social outcasts, who like posting there wet dream girls, any excuse to post hot women I guess.

With that commentary, the best choice for Pepper Potts is Rachel McAdams.

But I´d like to see Zooey Deschannel or Isla Fischer in Iron Man Movie.

What female character, Famke Janssen is going to play in this movie?

The Famke Janssen rumor has been debunked from Favreau.

 

[Kaboom]

isla fisher would be a good call

 

[Lantern]

Hi, what about Claire Forlani, from meet joe black.

Dam.

 

[LadyMoira]

Isla Fisher actually would be a good call. She's not just a pretty face but a real actress who comes across as intelligent and vibrant on screen; let's face it casting actresses solely based on hotness didn't work for either BB or SR. I hope Favreau has the sense to ignore the horndog fan boys and investigate choices like Isla, Zooey, and other truly talented female leads who might play well of RDJ.

Not being able to see the posting your talking about, from this computer, but getting the point of what you are saying.

Still, i am hating this computer for not allowing access to that site....... oh bugger...

 

[Spider - Man]

Amy Adams would be my choice.

She has my vote. Such as it is.

 

[Advanced Dark]

There's plenty of good women to choose from. I also want to throw this one out there. I'm not a fan of her music and I know I'm gonna get attacked for this one but if Lohan were given the role...I think she could do it. She's not in the top 5 on my list for the role but when I saw Stan Lee mention her name (quoting the myspace suggestions) I thought she could pull it off.

Again she's not my top choice just a small nod of approval if she was chosen.

I don't want Lohan anywhere near the film, plus she's 20 years younger than Downey. That's part of the problem with some of these suggestions for Pepper Potts. People are suggesting actresses who are young enough to be Downey's daughter, when the actress that is casted should be no more than about 10 years younger.

To be fair ADAs are typically very young and straight out of law school. I was 25 when I became an ADA in New York and most of my colleagues were the same age.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Again I'm not saying I'm "for" her I'm just not against her.

 

[kedrell]

To be fair ADAs are typically very young and straight out of law school. I was 25 when I became an ADA in New York and most of my colleagues were the same age.

But the movie made it seem like she was the only ADA there. And when her boss got popped that left the audience with the notion that now she's the DA for the largest city in America. They should have at least done a bit better to make the DA's office seem like they had dozens of people of her rank running around. It's just a pet peeve of mine.

Hey man, I suggested Lohan as a better MJ than Dunst because I saw a pic of her that looked just like the "Face it, Tiger, you just hit the jackpot!" panel and I gotted e-mugged!

 

[LadyMoira]

To tell the truth Katie's being a young ada didn't bother me half as much as the fact that she never came across as being particularly bright in the first place. But yeah, given Downey's age for this movie we don't want to pick someone *too* young for Pepper-I'd say don't go above ten years difference. Though admittedly I LOVED Elizabeth/Jack in PoTC and Johnny Depp is biologically old enough to be Kiera's father.

 

[The Ski Mask]

Do Stan Lee know that Sam Elliot is Thunderbolt Ross in the Hulk and the Caretaker in Ghost Rider?

 

[kedrell]

I don't know but I don't think Ghost Rider was one of the characters he created.

 

[Chris B]

With that commentary, the best choice for Pepper Potts is Rachel McAdams.[/B]

Who is also the one who I hope ultimately gets the role and she fits the profile outlined by Stan Lee. At age 30, she is 11 years younger than Downey, which like I said earlier the actress they do get shouldn't be much more than 10 years younger.

I would be fine with her, but I doubt she'll take it since it's a minor role.

 

[Fanticon]

Its got to be somebody who can pull off being called Pepper.
