Hilary Swank Lands an Iron Man Role?

Hilary Swank has been dissapointing in her last few movies. Maybe she's looking for something that might throw her some good reviews, she probably wants at least one movie with a fresh score, she hasn't had one since million dollar baby.

Uhm....hasn't the movie been in post-production for some time now? How can she "sign on" then?

Shaping up to be a great cast. There is a new image of Robert Downey Jr. testing the Iron man Glove in the current issue of Entertainment weekly (07/27/07). Hopefully RT will post a link to it.

By "small role" I hope they mean, TV reporter #2.

Iron Man is great and all, but it's only my #3 superhero flick i'm most excited for next summer, behind The Dark Knight and, despite its lack of star power, Watchmen.

in the article it said she might be establishing her own superhero movie franchise. since there have been rumors of a black widow movie, maybe Marvel is getting her introduced in this movie. just an idea, but it will be interesting to see what role she ends up playing.

Well if she has something to do w/ Fury, then she could be playing Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Fury's "Bond girl-like" love interest and fellow agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Slightly a bit off-topic here, but...

How the heck did the Iron Man movie get so big? I mean, ol' Tin-Tights has always been just a so-so, number 2, "You've got the night-shift, big-guy" kind of comic-book character. I tried to get into the Iron Man comic book series once, and it was so boring I stopped buying them after 4 issues.

How can Marvel and, well, all these first class directors, producers and actors be pumping out all this money, time and effort into such a (forgive me, Marvel) STUPID comic book character? He's not going to go anywhere, like the X-men or Spiderman did. Iron Man is no bigger than Daredevil, really. What's the deal?

I certainly hope that they put as much effort into Captain America, but it doesn't look like they will, and that's a shame. Now THAT guy deserves a little creative effort.

I'm flabergasted. Whatever that means. Sigh.

Does Samuel L. Jackson have to be in every movie?

By my count that's 4 oscar winners in this cast. Did I miss anyone?

i think the actors in tinseltown have seen how big spider man and x-men got so any chance they get they want there name to be attached to a comic book franchise..........hell even fantasic four did decent at the box office and i havent even watch either........

i think all these big names being put in the same phrase as Iron Man, will alone cause a huge buzz for this movie............i mean i want to see it now........they won me over........
