Marvel Studios to Produce Its Own Movies

Dekortage writes "According to the New York Times, Marvel Studios will be producing its own superhero movies instead of licensing the superheros to other Hollywood studios. It's all about the money: despite the enormous popularity of Sony Pictures' Spiderman 1 and 2, the licensing deal only netted Marvel $62 million. The article includes some tips about upcoming works: Edward Norton as Bruce Banner in a new Incredible Hulk, and Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark in Iron Man."

Actors?

Edward Norton as Bruce Banner sounds kinda cool actually...but RDJ as Iron Man, I don't think Iron Man will be portrayed well hung over.

Well of course

RDJ is a very good actor. I'm sure he can use those method acting skills to convincingly portray a man who has problems getting over a substance abuse problem.

On the other hand, if they got Rocco Siffredi for Iron Man, at least he would be portrayed well hung ...

Hmm. I never got over the fact that the game had a better cast than the movie.

It was the never-ending alcoholism story that drove me to quit Iron man forever.
The idea of my "hero" crawling around puking and suffering DT's just didn't float my boat.

Man, it's frikkin' James Bond in a powersuit, they gotta have something to spice things up.
Is there a fine for drunk powersuiting? Sounds unsafe.
