Lt. Al Giardello Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 Since making Marvel comics into feature films seems to be the "THING" now. I'm wondering is there any plans of an Ironman film? As a child, I loved reading Ironman comics, and he was one of my favorite heros of all time. Also who would you cast as Ironman and War Machine?
Matt Young Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 Ironman: Tom Selleck War Machine: Wesley Snipes
Lt. Al Giardello Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Posted February 11, 2006 Don't you think Tom Selleck is too old to be Ironman?
Matt Young Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 Maybe... I'm not sure how old Tony Stark is. But Selleck has the perfect look.
Dandy Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 There was a report sometime during the last year that Tom Cruise had his sites on an Iron Man movie, with himself as Tony Stark.
SuperJerk Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 A few years ago I got this crazy-ass idea in my head that Antonio Banderas should play Iron Man.
Guest Starks Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 New Line have had the rights to an Iron Man movie for the past 4 or 5 years. The rights to the movie have lapsed back to Marvel due to inactivity, and they will produce the film under their new financing deal, with Universal to distribute it. Nick Cassavetes (John Q, The Notebook, the soon to be released Alpha-Dog(getting great buzz) ) is about 1 month into pre-production. Rumored for the role of Iron Man so far are: Ryan Phillippe (Ugh) and Matt Dillon (could work). IMO they should look at casting Billy Crudup (Almost Famous, Big Fish, MiIII) or Timothy Olyphant(Deadwood, Gone in 60 Seconds, Go). If Jim Rhodes is going to be in the film they should cast Terrance Howard. Over the next 10 years or so nearly all of the film rights to Marvel's properties are going to divert back to them, so the potential for crossovers will be huge.
dubq Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 Don't you think Tom Selleck is too old to be Ironman? NO. He's actually the perfect age to play Tony Stark.
dubq Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 There was a report sometime during the last year that Tom Cruise had his sites on an Iron Man movie, with himself as Tony Stark. Yeah, and so did Justin Timberlake. *gag*
DMann2003 Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 George Clooney could do it, he's got that suave debonaire look He would've made a decent Batman if he'd been in a better movie
SuperJerk Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 While he'd certainly make a better Iron Man than Batman, my gut reaction is to shudder at the idea of Clooney playing a super-hero ever again.
Vyce Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 I'm with Jerk on this one. The idea of Tom Selleck as Iron Man intrigues me, but realistically Selleck is a good 10 years too old for the part, at least by Hollywood standards.
Vampiro69 Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 As much as I hate Clooney he would be great for the part. A part of me thinks Brad Pitt could do well in the role.
razazteca Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 Don Fry = Iron Man Keith David = War Machine Clooney = Dr. Strange
Special K Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 Matt Dillon could really work. He can act, and has the look. I've always thought Cary Elwes would be the ideal Stark. He's work as Strange, too.
dubq Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Matt Dillon could really work. He can act, and has the look. I've always thought Cary Elwes would be the ideal Stark. He's work as Strange, too. My only issue with that would be the Tony Stark moustache. Dillon looks like a huge douche with a 'stache.
Vyce Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Since we're naming old Batmen, I'll throw Val Kilmer's name into the hat. As either Stark or Strange.
JasonX Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Matt Dillon could really work. He can act, and has the look. I've always thought Cary Elwes would be the ideal Stark. He's work as Strange, too. My only issue with that would be the Tony Stark moustache. Dillon looks like a huge douche with a 'stache. Tony hasn't had the 'stache since Heroes Reborn. Nowadays he has a goatee instead of a 'stache, which opens up more actors for the part. That said, Clooney is the only person I can fucking see play Iron Man. With the right script, it could wash the taint of Batman and Robin off of Clooney. That said: George Clooney= Iron Man J. August Richards (Gunn from Angel)= James Rhodes/War Machine Ron Rifkin (Sloane from Alias)= Justin Hammer Jet Li= Mandarin
EdwardKnoxII Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Speaking of Ironman what armor would you like to see him wear in the movie. Reports are the one going to be used in the movie is based on the Ult. Marvel one. I like to see this one cause I've always been of fan of it. http://advancediron.com/armory/modulararmor.php And if Jim Rhodes is in it the War Machine armor to.
SuperJerk Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Since we're naming old Batmen, I'll throw Val Kilmer's name into the hat. As either Stark or Strange. I could totally see Kilmer as Dr. Strange.
PLAGIARISM! Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 It's funny that the moustache actually makes this a really hard part to cast. Anyone who hasn't got one already will look weird, and no one's got one already.
cabbageboy Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 I think Clooney is the closest there would be to looking like the guy in the comic book. Thing is, with these more prestigious films like Good Night and Good Luck and Syrianna, is Clooney even interested in doing this stuff? I guess you gotta do the safe picture, then you do the art picture...then sometimes you do the payback picture cause your friend says you owe him. (For Clooney I guess the safe would be Iron Man, the art would be a film about Walter Cronkite or something, and the payback is doing something for Steven Soderbergh.)
Epic Reine Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Tom Cruise was rumored for the role of Stark a few years ago. Brad Pitt is also rumored for the role of Captain America.
SuperJerk Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Brad Pitt is also rumored for the role of Captain America.
gwf0704 Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 I've always thought Kurt Russell would be a good Iron Man. Would also be a good Batman if it was the Frank Miller Batman.
Lil' Bitch Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Brad Pitt is also rumored for the role of Captain America.
starvenger Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Well, if Selleck's your Iron Man, then Delroy Lindo or Avery Brooks should be your War Machine. But if you're going younger... too bad Phil LaMarr's a small guy. He can create the perfect voice for Rhodes. Maybe D.B. Woodside or Alimi Ballard? They've got the acting chops, but I don't know if they've got the presence to play a superhero...
dubq Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 I could see Richard T. Jones as Rhodes.
Vyce Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Who would make a good Captain America? I'm having a hard time thinking of someone. Pitt would not be it, though.
