First Look: Iron Man

Friday, 27 April 2007

Today over at USAToday.com, they released the first "official" pic of Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark in the new Iron Man movie.

The movie, directed by Jon Favreau (directed Elf, acted in Swingers, etc), has come under fire lately over the casting of Downey, but I want to state my wholehearted support for this casting decision.

USA Today posted this this as the first "official" pic:

Even though this pic has been floating around for a while (even on Marvel.com's homepage):

From the article:

For his part, Downey is trying to become an iron man. At 42, he lifts weights five days a week and practices martial arts to get in shape to play the hard-bodied Stark, an arms manufacturer who uses his ultimate weapon, a jet-powered, missile-launching suit of armor, to fight evil.

A multi-millionaire playboy with a lot of ego and serious substance abuse problems? Robert Downey, Jr. is perfect.
