Iron Man 2 Tim Robbins is Howard Stark, Hawkeye & Black Widow are in?

[Chewy]

El Mayimbe here...

Got a new source and even though it is a tad bit late at night to double check, he passed my prelimanary source check and besides I figured this scoop is too damn hot to wait till morning. Anyway, we all need a jodido break from all these corny whack ass Batman 3 casting rumors.

Ya'll want some real Superhero casting news of the Marvel variety?

How about this!

From what I'm told, Tim Robbins is going to be playing Howard Stark in an important flashback sequence that is going to set up the Avengers and Captain America films. Jon [Favreau] wanted to get a good actor because he didn't think the guy who played Howard in the last film could carry such an important scene.

Makes sense to me because Howard Stark would be around the time of the Captain America Super Soldier experiment.

That is not all, check this out...

I'm also told that HAWKEYE and BLACK WIDOW are definitely in Iron Man 2 and they wont be cameos either.

You guys want to take this as a rumor due to the timing then it's all good with me till further notice.

Stay tuned as more develops and Happy Holidays folks!

If Tim Robbins makes an appearance in any Marvel movie, I'll be very pleased about it.

Damn typos... it won't let me change the title

Also, it seems to me that we'll probably get the Ultimate "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." BW and Hawkeye if they're both in as supporting characters.

Uh oh. They are stuffing those two characters in this movie. This is going to be SM3 all over again where they just put characters that won't be fleshed out. Ah well. Anyways I hope this movie still turns out to be awesome.

^ Except that this isn't 3 random villains that have nothing to do with each other thrown into a story where they don't mesh all that well - these are characters who have years worth of interactions and shared storylines in comics to draw from.

Just read about. Let's see how that turns out

I agree, but this is the same guy who scooped Brandon Routh, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, etc.... this feels pretty legit to me.

Oh but I meant in the movie t: I know that site's reputation

Ah, gotcha

Presumably, this two characters will be members of the Avengers assuming all this is true. Setting up the characters prior to the actual Avengers movie seems like a reasonable idea to me.

"How rad" is this news?

Terrific casting.

Bruce Willis as Hawkeye?

Double Down, from SWINGERS? If so, I commend your good taste.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Tim Robbins appearing in anything is always welcome. He's a good choice but Hawkeye? HAWKEYE!? I hate Hawkeye! When will you foolish humans learn that being handy with a bow and arrow is NOT a superpower! Same goes for Green Arrow.

 

[Frank Castle 4]

No expert but the inclusion of Widow and Hawkeye could be a part of the Crimson Dynamo story arc. That would be very cool in my eyes.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Tim Robbins as Howard is great casting.

I want Milla Jovovich (sp) for Black Widow.

I don't know who I'd want for Hawkeye.

 

[arachnid-guy]

Brilliant if it's true.

Looking forward to see how this all plays out!

Especially a S.H.I.E.L.D Hawkeye/Widow storyline.

 

[batman44]

Sounds good to me.

 

[FaT_tONle]

Too much Avengers setup... let me rephrase that... WAY TO MUCH Avengers setup... Marvel seems to be throwing all their eggs in one basket. These roles better be small... that's all I can say.

 

[Frank Castle 4]

^ I don't think it's too much or that they need to be small. The Crimson Dynamo story line from the comics seems like a perfect way to introduce BW and Hawkeye. The message at the end of the last film was that he wasn't alone. This is a good way to pick up on that and set up Avengers. I'm really excited for it.

Yeah, but in The Ultimates Hawkeye/Widow were Nick Fury's black ops team, his top soldiers. Since they went with Ultimate Fury including both makes a lot of sense to me. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Avengers, this could just be a storyline involving S.H.I.E.L.D.

 

[Frank Castle 4]

Chewy,

I've been going back and forth on that one too. Seems like they could go the Ultimates route very easily, but still mix in a little bit of the original Crimson Dynamo story too.

I love this because of that...the possibilities are so many that we have months to sit and speculate!!

 

[Darthkush]

Very excited about Hawkeye and Widow. I personally hope that they ARE part of the Avengers team though. Let's see then, we'll probably have Cap, Thor, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Antman/Giant man, and Wasp, along with Hulk. I mean, that's pretty much perfect isn't it? We could always trade one or two of those out later for Scarlet Witch and/or Vision or somebody too in an sequel.

Bruce Willis as Hawkeye?

Too old!

 

[Chewy]

This'll be Tim Robbins' second Marvel flick
