Oh my, I think I just developed a man-crush.

standardman

I was initially against Downey but he has worn me down. I'm a believer now. I do think that it is sad how he is starting to fidget and squirm around again. I hope he isn't back on the smack.

HurricaneDave

Robert Downey is my role model and every year, I eat a swan in his honour.

StartRunning

I think the end times may finally be upon us. Uwe Boll is making a movie I ma y like, they're releasing a Marvel movie that may not suck, along with a movie to videogame adaption that also may not suck. I'm pretty sure these things shouldn't all be happening.

Karlott

I think Downey is perfect for Stark, but back in the early 90s you could have asked around and everybody would say that Timothy Dalton was born to play Tony Stark.

Poison

Man, I love Terrence Howard--he's gonna be awesome as War Machine in the sequel.

Game looks good, I'll have to see how it reviews though.

Kato

@Otacon91: Get with the times dude. Tony isn't an alcoholic anymore, nor is he goin around banging every broad he sees nowadays.

He does in the ULTIMATE universe but 616 tony stark is a fucking pile of shit now. Director of shield my ass.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

ManjiKengo

robert downey jr is iron dick. Personally, I've hated Irondick with a f'in passion since the marvel civil war started but I'm excited about the movie.

ManjiKengo

I saw a demo of the Iron Man game last year and it looked spectacular! here's hoping the extra time gave it some nice polish.

Cenobite

@Witzbold: He pulled it off well, though I think most people will agree with me when I say WHAT THE HELL IS WITH ALL THE CRYING!? Spider-Man was a joker, he made wisecracks all the time...there was almost NONE in the movies.

Calm down time...

Eschguy

@Scuba Steve: Natural Born Killers and A Scanner Darkly, he rocked in those.

Otacon91

He should do voice acting more often. He's great at delivering lines just right. If anyone has seen "A Scanner Darkly," you know what I'm talking about.

Destroyman

Anyone who likes movies with Robert Downey Jr in them should see "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang".. awesomely trippy movie.

Scuba Steve

@Witzbold: Yes, I totally agree.

And the game seems to be shaping up nicely. At least the voice acting and graphics.

artofwar420

Terrence Howard as War Machine kics ass, I dont know why, but I see it fitting well. Downey...I dont know, I just dont see him having the sorrow Stark always had over his head. I mean it's ironic that a former alcoholic is playing the same in a super hero role, but I just see him playing the playboy illusion part of Stark well. I wanna see him be the trouble fighting his inner demons Stark.

And Kirsten Dunce sucked as MJ, she was supposed to be a knockout and WAY out of Peter's league, not some snaggletoothed toothpick.

Otacon91

(Those are comics from Joe Loves Crappy Movies, not porn, FYI)

Anyway, Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark is so right it's almost too right.

peAr_nectAr

@Shin-Kaiser: Yeah I agree. He wasnt as good in number 3 as he was in 1 and 2.

Something just felt kinda missing.

Call me weird but I think Laura Prepon from that 70`s show would have been a much better MJ. Well in terms of looks anyways.

Witzbold

@JimmysBrother: I forgot about Tropic Thunder! I might end up seeing that. Anyways, not sure if I'll pick up the Iron Man Game; however, I want to see the movie.

SpearXXI

Thanks Kotaku. It's unlikely I'll get this game, but it was interesting all the same. Eagerly anticipating the film.

@Witzbold: Tobey Maguire was Okay as spiderman, they could have done a lot worse. Though by the third film, they could have done a lot better.
I was always disappointed by kirsten dunst as mary jane. Love her as an actress but when I read spiderman comics, Mary Jane had thick curly volumptious hair. Kirsten dunst just paled in comparison, something was always wrong there.

Shin-Kaiser

I thought he was the dude playin' the dude disguised as another dude...

what0080

Good to see him fitting into the role quite well. Least we know the game won't have horrible voice acting.

@holy_cow: Jason Biggs? I haven't seen that dude in years. If that's true, then the next Spiderman won't be seen by my eyes either, unless he somehow pulls an Oscar worthy performance.

Magic Emperor Anima

@ ForwardInReverse: brilliant!
@ Witzbold: Yup, seems weird, huh? We all knew that was it for Miguire as Spidey, right? Don't know where the series goes from here....

holy_cow

Is it just me or has John Favreu really slimmed down

swordfish2eva1

This game has potential.

neoraul20

@holy_cow: You got to be kidding me. Adam Sandler Jr. is rumored to be the next spiderman?

Witzbold

@holy_cow: That works out great.Now you can replace Kirsten Dunst with an apple pie as the love interest :)

ForwardInReverse

I think Robert can pull the hair.

Anyway, really excited for the movie and definitely checking it out opening night.

With that being said, I'm a little iffy on the game. But, it does seem to be shaping up and the voice acting it looking mighty fine as well.

JarenFace

@Witzbold: Maguire sucked as a Parker. He was fantastic for a teenage Spidey, but Spidey without his trademark quips and all emo is not cool.

Ashurahori

@ Witzbold: Last I heard Jason Biggs is the new Peter Parker.
What do you think of that?

holy_cow

He is fucking awesome.

Fadakar

@Witzbold:
Maguire was alright...for the first movie, at least. But it seemed for 2 and 3 that he started devolving into a caricature of himself somehow, so by the end of it I wasn't exactly sold anymore.

Archaotic

Sweet hair! Kinda looks like me

yashichi8bit

I can't hear what they're saying with the stupid music playing on the background

rucky

@Archaotic: What did you think about Tobey Maguire for Spider Man?

Myself personally I had thought he fit the role rather well.

Lets not get into the discussion on MJ though. :x

---

Back on subject Im still waiting for more gameplay videos of Iron Man. Since Im real curious to see what else he can do besides fly around and shoot lazar beamz like the power armored badass he is.

Witzbold

@Witzbold: As an Ally McBeal fan (and proud one), I feel safe saying that when I saw Iron Man, I said: "Holy shit! That's Larry! You pig! You walked out on Ally when she was having a mid-life crisis!" ;_;

Ashurahori

Dear Jesus,

Please don't let this game suck. The movie looks cool and Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark is pure win.

Love,
-Me

arepeegee

@Witzbold:
I've been saying that since before they even cast the movie, myself. So I was pretty much jumping for joy when my theory ended up being right.

Archaotic

Oh yes if the game is region free Ill buy it also.

If its locked sorry guys Ill have to pass. D:

Witzbold

@Archaotic: That I do agree with.

When I saw the trailers of the movie I was all "Holy shit! Its Tony Stark!"

Witzbold

Sounds good. And you guys know what? It might be about marketing, but the more I see these trailers, the more the Sega guys seem more envolved in the game. You know, I think they really want to make a good game here. I REALLY hope it turns out swell. I wish the best of luck out to the team.

Ashurahori

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Robert Downey Jr. is Tony Stark, just like Patrick Stewart is Professor Xavier. There is no other person meant to play either character.

I'll be seeing the movie when it hits, that's for sure. Not so sure about the game though...maybe I'll rent it.

Archaotic

Just a stupid (possible) fact: Downey Jr's character in the upcoming Tropic Thunder has blonde hair before a (and I won't ruin it, entirely) surgical procedure. I reccomend everyone to go and see trailer for Tropic Thunder since we already know Iron Man is going to be badass to the maximus lets make this fairly known upcoming movie a little more known. :)

JimmysBrother

Its all up to the directors (both videogame and movie) to really use the talents given to them.

Pancho_Villasan

"nailed it!!"

Robert just got himself a new fan.

Gunhaver

@El Patricko: you can leave the house for a few hours once. You know that would air out the b.o. smell. XD

anyway, it's awesome that he did the game voice acting too, one less job for mark hamill though.

Grumps

Not so sure on the game but the more I see about this movie the better I think it's going to be. The two minute clip of him testing his thruster thingies was pretty neat.
It's a shame I won't be able to go see it because of GTAIV.

El Patricko

An actor returning to the role in the video game?

That's a bit unusual, right?
