Mulitple news articles about it.

 

Surprised this isn't already being discussed as I feel this could be pretty big news.

 

Hopefully it's just contract negotiation stuff, or people trying to make something out of nothing.

And turn down the cash cow that will be Avengers 2?

 

Unlikely.

[TupennyConan]

Highly unlikely.

[Silver Surfer]

Highly unlikely.

 

When they throw another $50M at him he will yell "suit up" from the mountain tops.

[Tuffy]

I hope he does. I love the casting.

[Silver Surfer]

I hope he does. I love the casting.

 

The casting is perfect and RDJr is brilliant. Anyone else in that role would be a serious let down.

I can't think of anyone that could replace him in Hollywood right now.

Gary Busey

If I'm reading it right, he says he doesn't see doing it past another three years. My guess is that they'll get him for one more Iron Man and likely two more avenger movies. Seems like that would be enough to run the course anyway.

Jon Hamm in the Iron Man suit?

Downey Jr's portrayal of Stark is brilliant, however I could sit and watch an Iron Man or Avengers movie sans Tony Stark, so no Downey Jr. needed. CGI Iron Man, I'm good .I've read a ton of Iron Man/Avengers without Tony Stark, just Iron Man, didn't miss Stark.

Jon Hamm in Mad Men is brilliant, but have you ever checked him out in other stuff?

Not nearly as impressive

He's actually fantastic in comedy. Not that it helps the IM argument.

He's already cast as Krang in the Ninja Turtle movie.

I could see him being a serviceable replacement actually.

Hopefully he is on board atleast that long.
