RDJ/Iron Man has to share the screen with some pretty good actors/characters. Who will steal the show in Iron Man 2?
 
I actually dont think any body will steal the show from RDj or IM

But even tho shes a decent actress I'm worried Scarlett Johannson's accent will be distracting in a bad way. Especially if her accent is anything like the accent in Ultimate Avengers
 
I don't know about stealing the show BUT I really want Rourke to kick major ass in this movie -- I hope that, if I see the movie in theaters for a 2nd time, it's because of him
 
If you are talking for scene to scene...its going to be the RDJ show.

But if your going to talk about what people will be talking about (and doing other things about) when the film is over its Scarlett as Widow. How could you not...seriously.
 
Because she is going to be completely forgettable in the role perhaps?

Also, I really think it is funny that everyone thinks her breasts are going to be practically falling out of her outfit in this PG-13 movie that is going to be heavy marketed towards kids and families.

RDJ all the way.
 
I don't think anyone will steal the show from RDJ but I think Sam Rockwell is going to give him a run for his money
 
Honestly i feel Downeys acting needs to be stepped up, especially if they are gonna do the whole alcohol story line. I want to see him put in his personal struggles with alcohol into the Stark character. With passion and intensity. If he does that i dont think anyone can steal the show from him.

But if not there's a good chance we could see Rhodey or Rourke might steal the show.
 
They aren't doing the "Demon in a bottle" storyline.
 
Mickey is always amazing, so if anyone is going to grab attention for their performance I'd say it would be him.
 
I gotta go with the majority on this one. Stealing Iron Man's thunder is extremely hard. RDjr is one of the most charismatic leading actors of our time and Iron Man himself just oozes badassery. But there are many wonderful actors who are able to hold their own against RDjr. Jackson, Cheadle, Rourke, Rockwell...I'm sure there will be many memorable scenes between these guys.

But Scarlett's cleavage is the only thing that could possibly outshine RDjr :yay:
 
A sight like Scarlett...how hot she truly is...just makes you respect Ryan Reynolds even more. Sure he gets automatic cred for being Deadpool, but he ALSO married her? Well done RR.
 
Yea Scarlett's breasts will steal the show. :hehe:

But na I think Downey Jr owns this. I think Rourke will give him a run for his money though.

And yea they need to get BW show up in Deadpool's film. Would be funny :D
 
Will whiplash be more towards a Joker-like or Twoface-like character?
 
A flamboyant and exotic villain almost always steals the show from the hero.

With that being said, I voted for Rourke's Whiplash.
 
Will whiplash be more towards a Joker-like or Twoface-like character?

Or maybe hell be his own? Rourkes a talented actor im sure he wont need to base his villain off a previous one. Im looking forward to his portrayal of whiplash
 
NOBODY is stealing the show from RDJ.

The only way anyone has a chance to steal the show is to take Robert out of the entire movie.
 
I agree with whats been said, it will be very hard to steal the show from Robert Downey, Jr., he's such a talented actor and was such a big reason why the first film did so well, he embodied Tony Stark.
But that said, this cast that has been assembled is so frecking good, all I believe will have moments that they shine in, Paltrow had her moments in the first film, she might get lost in the second film with so many players.
And the villains will be stand-outs as well, with Rourke and Rockwell, both great actors and alot of people everywhere want to see how Scarlett looks and acts as Blackwidow.
 
The general audience will naturally be attracted to the villains, esp Whiplash which is a relatively new character to most people...
but im curious will War machine be a sidekick or what?
 
Closest one to steal the show from Downey would be Rourke, it's lulz worthy to have Scarlett on that list.

Steal the show from Iron Man? What do ya think this is, the Batman franchise?:hehe:

RDJ will own but Rockwell and Roarke will give him a race that we, the audience will love to see. With so many players I think Favs might want to make sure everyone has a definite purpose ala' the last Star Trek movie. I don't think he wants to short change any character.
 
i voted hammer because i absolutely love rockwell. was expecting a lot of votes, but apparently i was the only one who thought so. hahaha
