[blind_fury]

Damn, looking at those pics it's hard to think of a better Tony Starks.

 

[Caliber]

He definity is becoming more like Stark. Can't wait to see any pics when the filming starts.

I called it in 2005 for Downey to be cast and started the below thread which was merged:

Now here are the reactions back then from other users:

Quote:
Robert Downey Jr. would not be a good option. Sure he's a good actor, but he has a substance abuse problem which could cause issues for the production if something happens. It probably costs a lot to insure him as an actor due to his own past misgivings, and since the production of an Iron Man film would likely be expensive I don't see them doing this. Besides, I don't see him as Iron Man. Nothing about him makes me believe that he would be a good Tony Stark. Yes, he's a good actor, but so's Liam Neeson, and I wouldnt want to see him as Tony Stark either.

Keep trying though. You'll come up with some good ideas. I like John Cusak for a superhero role, but not as Iron Man.

Keep up the efforts though. -DPM07

Downey as Ironamn? Hell no. -Spiderjide

Blades_Shades, why do you feel that so often your casting ideas warrent the creation of a new thread when plenty of others have and continue to add theirs to the preexisting ones ? -BT18

Quote:
Robert Downey Jr. is too old for the part. -Red Mask

Quote:
Hell, no. - Chris Wallace

Quote:
Shouldn't we be suggesting people who are more the character's age? lol. Just a suggestion of course. -Downhere

Quote:
I think Downey would be awful...except that he and Tony Stark are alcoholics -Comicgirl

so....how tall is downey jr.?

I was always under the impression that he was on the shorter side for a guy...

 

[Cinemaman]

I always knew RDJ was great actor, but I never thought he would look so right for the role before (though I have never had any problems with him as IM since that day, when he was confirmed for the part)

RDJ isn't so tall, he is about 1.75m (5'9")

 

[X Knight]

thanks.

i like that, actually, as I'm a short guy myself.

so, it's always nice to see a hero ( or actor portraying hero ) who is not your typical tall ( over 6 feet ), muscular male lead.

Now that is Tony Stark. dang I take it back. He can pull this off.

 

[Cinemaman]

Honestly, I am 1.72m (5'8") and I ma still growing.

Agreed, that would look very realistic

 

[X Knight]

well, cinemaman....you are lucky that you are still growing.

when you are 23 and stopped growing at 5'3 1/2"........well.......

 

[Sun_Down]

Lookin' good Robbie Very Tony

 

[L0ngsh0t]

[Weadazoid]

The guy is a business man a Billionaire captain of industry...Tony has to be older IMO...look at his closest competition some white haired olderman who has gone totlay gray named Justin Hammer

 

[Cinemaman]

well, cinemaman....you are lucky that you are still growing.

when you are 23 and stopped growing at 5'3 1/2"........well.......

Thanx.

Oh c'mon, I have some friends (and they are about 25), who didn't even get to 5'1. Believe me, the height doesn't always matter
