I've stopped considering past acts of actors when they get roles. After a while you see how many times we're proven wrong and you just learn to 'wait and see'.

Yeah, but it's Dennis fucking Leary.

I do too, just not in serious roles.

Has it been announced who's playing JJ?

JK Simmons was fucking perfect for that role. Good luck topping that.

Not yet. Wonder who they have in mind.

He can play serious.

I heard John Slattery was one of the names in the frame for JJ.

I can't imagine him being better than Simmons.

Yeah, frankly he's going to be very difficult to beat. If not impossible.

Yeah, wasn't Leary the main character on Rescue Me for several years?

Oh ok, nevermind, I was thinking of Dennis Miller.

OUTRAGEOUS

Slattery can do that role very well

I want to see Black Swan.

Also, lol at that scarf.

Gonna assume that mean Iron Man 3 will be open to the expanded elements of the Marvel Universe, which hints to me the Manderin or facing enemies of other heroes.

All she needs is that hair thing.

Okay, now I see why they cast her as Gwen instead of Mary Jane. The resemblance is downright eerie.

Back in the comics, we have a new Venom:

He works for the US govt. and presumably still has Spidey/Venom powers along with that extra gear. No one knows who he is yet. He'll star in his own series this Spring.

Symbiote used as a recon or black ops tool, COULD make for great storywriting.

Better chance that it will be stupid.

Also, what happened to scorpion.

He gets stripped of it against his will in an upcoming comic (not Thunderbolts). Whether he gets his Scorpion on after that is not certain.

Jon Favreau on Iron Man 3

Quote:

In a recent interview with MTV to promote his new movie, Cowboys and Aliens, director Jon Favreau revealed that Iron Man 3 will be a sequel to not just Iron Man 2, but a continuation of all of the storylines in the preceeding Marvel Studios movies, including The Incredible Hulk, Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor and The Avengers. Now, MTV has released more of that interview with Favreau and the director has revealed how the changing face of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will affect the world Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) finds himself in in the third chapter in the franchise.
If you remember, Iron Man was a very normal world. It was based in our real world, with a few little things exaggerated. The technology was exaggerated slightly, but really it didn't feel like you were stepping into a superhero world. It didn't feel like you were stepping into the Marvel Universe.
By the time Iron Man 3 happens, you will have had three other superheroes revealing themselves at least, in addition to S.H.I.E.L.D. and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and whoever they have in Avengers. So now you're going into a world where you open up the paper and you're reading about villains and heroes and a lot of people with different types of powers. Everything was tech-based in Iron Man, but the world is opening up very much.

One of the things that this new world means for Iron Man 3 is that Iron Man is not just stuck facing tech- or reality-based villains. When asked if that means that fans might finally get to see Iron Man square off against the Mandarin, a villain who wields ten alien rings, each with a different power, Favreau said, "I hope so."
Because all my stuff was tech-based, and now you have other worlds and inter-dimensions and this sense of history—which I think is quite cool—that we started with the Stark Expo. There was a lot of stuff we had to present to set up other future properties, so I'm well aware of the challenges that go into it. You're not just servicing one film. You're not just making the best film you can, you're setting up a playground for all of the characters to play in.

That's going to be really hard to pull off.

Probably be crappy.

If they do bring in Mandarin, I hope they bring back the whole League of the Ten Rings thing from the first movie and not just completely drop that.

I don't think Favreau is the type of director to not make those connections.

I don't know why they just state it like it's a given that we all felt like Iron Man didn't feel like stepping into the Marvel Universe.
It totally did. Just because the characters weren't supernatural or from other planets didn't mean it didn't have that feel in some way. The villain types and everything totally felt comic booky.
I don't think I'd really think twice about an alien or something fantastical showing up out of nowhere in a scene.
Whoever wrote that makes it sound like it's to the Dark Knight end of the spectrum, when I really don't agree.

That's neither a good or bad thing. I think the tone of the Iron Man movies is perfect the way it is, and putting something "unrealistic" in there doesn't change it much for me.
I guess because to me it's still in the area of science fiction-y comic book movie, and not a crime drama or something.

Is the first part of Iron Man better than the second?

Cause I don't think I've seen it sober.

You know what? Just stop being sober and your problem is solved.

That's not so good of an answer.

You either wanna watch the movies or you don't.

The whole 'I'm interested while not being interested' was never cute to me. Often employed by people engaging in something they're not completely into and would feel shamed if they showed genuine interest outside of "I was drunk" and "I'm just wasting time" or "I got it for free anyway".

Just an observation of mine in this and the VG forum.

I remember the beginning and think that whole "I'm gonna turn my back on the camera and build me a cool armour" shit was completely stupid.

But I loved the second film. So I was just asking for an opinion if the first movie was any good.
