Missy Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 And I'm obviously going to have to google/Wiki 'Extremis' before the movie actually comes out, aren't I? Honestly, I'd just buy the Extremis trade paperback from Amazon. That, more than anything else, led to the cinematic Iron Man, and it's a damn fine read.

slothian Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Okay, that kicks 2's ass out of the water, right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Simon Philips, the President of Marvel Entertainment International said this: “Tony Stark will have an underground Hall of Armors with somewhere around 16 new suits, including some classics that fans will recognize from the comics. It’s also reported that Pepper Potts will get to don her own suit and get in on some of the fights as well.” http://sciencefiction.com/2012/11/13/potential-iron-man-3-spoilers-surface/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I think what I like most is that the expression on Downey's face is more, "Fuck yes! I am this awesome!" than "Jesus Christ! I'm plummeting to my death!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 So, is Iron Man going to be a Guardian of the Galaxy at the end of this? Maybe Rocket Raccoon will come and recruit him post-credits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Out of curiosity, how many more movies does RDJ have on his Marvel contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Iron Man 3 is the last one he's contracted to appear in meaning Disney will have the choice of RDJ taking them to the bank for Avengers 2, recasting, or removing him from the proceedings all together.

JackFetch Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I want to see him in Avengers 2, then recast the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 So, is Iron Man going to be a Guardian of the Galaxy at the end of this? Maybe Rocket Raccoon will come and recruit him post-credits. My guess: At the end of the movie, due to Pepper's death, Tony will flee Earth. Then, post-credits, as you said, he'll land on a planet and will be approached by Rocket Raccoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. RDJ has been amazing in the role and done and said everything right in interviews and press, but the cracks are beginning to show and he seems to be getting tired of playing the same role over and over. Disney/Marvel has no qualms about recasting a role (see: Howard, Terrence) but Iron Man works largely because of Downey. The smart thing would be to write Iron Man out.

Stavros Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Nah I like him having a 5 film arc to Avengers 2. Avengers salvaged Tony after Iron man 2, the character isn't done yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hmm. I would be surprised if they didn't at least try to back up a couple of trucks full of money first, to get him stay. He's kind of the face of the MCU right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Disney's still giving Johnny Depp money for islands to do Pirates of the Caribbean sequels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Depp and RDJ have both basically said they'll do those roles til they die. I kind of doubt they'll be leaving anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Keep in mind though that Downey is going to be 50 when Avengers 2 comes out and actors say they want to play a role forever all the time. Look at David Tennant. Quite frankly, it's going to come down to how much Downey's people ask for when negotiations start. Oddly enough, if Iron Man 3 does really good, it could hurt the chances of RDJ appearing in Avengers 2. If it does, pretty easy for him to go in with a huge asking price which Disney can look at and then respond with recasting, I dunno, Hugh Grant as Tony Stark. If the movie does average or worse, then Downey's asking price will probably be lower. He got 50 million from Avengers. When you have a cast that's just going to increase in size and pay, then you have to make cuts someplace and I doubt Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans are going to rise that astronomically in the next year. Anyway you slice it, he's going to be leaving the role sooner than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 At the very least, he'll make a cameo in Avengers 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 The problem with recasting is that RDJ has made the role his in more ways than one. Whoever they cast, and how they play it, from now till the end of time is going to be compared to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 The problem with recasting is that Sean Connery has made James Bond his in more ways than one. Whoever they cast, and how they play it, from now till the end of time is going to be compared to him. Fixed to an appropriate comparison.

So they're going to hire a male model, then bring RDJ back, then hire a guy basically playing Iron Man already on a tv? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they're going to hire a vast improvement who will decide he doesn't want to get typecast, then bring RDJ back, then hire a guy basically playing Iron Man already on a tv? Fixed.
