You Don't Say: "Robert Downey Jr. is hardly the obvious choice to play [Iron Man]."
Then again, Tony Stark was a substance abuser.
[It] is exactly that [substance-abusing] past, says director Jon Favreau (Elf), that makes Downey the only choice to play playboy millionaire and recovering alcoholic Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, the comic-book superhero who hits multiplexes next year.
...
"He struggles with his lifestyle, he struggles with the drinking," Downey says of Stark. "He faces the same issues a lot of people do."
Directed by Jon Favreau. Starring Robert Downey Jr.
Can anyone doubt this is going to be the most awesomely awesome comic-book movie eveh?
The only way it could be more perfect is if they land Nathan Lane to play the Scarlet Witch.
