Iron Man: Last News

After a lymphoma scare in 2020 and an even worse COVID-19 scare in 2021, Jeff Bridges is back in action in FX On Hulu‘s “The Old Man.” And while the long-time actor’s career is well into its golden years, with his last film roles coming in 2018, it’s great that Bridge is still alive, thriving, and being The Dude. After all, he’s had some amazing roles over the years, including “The Big Lebowski,” “Fat City,” “The Fisher King,” and more.

Last month, Robert Downey Jr. finally earned an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor thanks to his critically acclaimed performance in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” And while he’ll next be seen on the small screen in the HBO series “The Sympathizer,” the Oscar-winner, who seemed content to leave Marvel behind in recent years, is now potentially open to returning to the Tony Stark/Iron Man role that helped resurrect his acting career back in 2008.

When you think of filmmakers working today in terms of teams, one of the easiest ways to separate them is by their public statements about Marvel films. (Yes, this is reductive, but it’s sadly quite true.) There are folks like Martin Scorsese who famously called out Marvel and franchise filmmaking in general as detrimental to the art of cinema.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Robert Downey Jr. made headlines earlier this month when he revealed that he first met his “Oppenheimer” director Christopher Nolan back in the early 2000s in order to nab the role of Scarecrow in the director’s 2005 superhero tentpole “Batman Begins.” Downey said Nolan wasn’t too interested in casting him, which Nolan fully admitted in a recent interview with the actor for The New York Times. “I 100% knew you weren’t the guy [for Scarecrow],” said Nolan, who eventually cast his “Oppenheimer” leading man Cillian Murphy as the Batman villain.

Jon Favreau‘s 2008 film “Iron Man” is usually referred to as the blockbuster that first kicked off Hollywood’s superhero movie craze (well, that one and “The Dark Knight“). But according to Pepper Potts herself, Gwyneth Paltrow, “Iron Man” wasn’t pitched to her as a sure-fire success.

Even though it was a risk at the time, it’s impossible to imagine anyone other than Robert Downey, Jr. taking on the role of Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast host Mike DeAngelo puts back on the badge to talk about “Justified: City Primeval.” The show follows Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) as he gets pulled into a case in Detroit after a chance encounter along a Florida highway. The series also stars Boyd Holbrook, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Adelaide Clemens, Vondie Curtis-Hall, and more.

Robert Downey Sr., the younger Downey made his acting debut at age five, playing the ironic role of a sick puppy n his father’s film “Pound.” Downey Jr. found early success as an adjunct member of the Brat Pack, starring in the nihilist classic “Less Than Zero.” He earned his first Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Charlie Chaplin in the eponymous film. Downey has famously, and publicly, battled substance abuse, spending much of the 90’s and early aughts in and out of treatment centers and correctional facilities before finally getting sober in 2003 and making the unlikely leap from getting high to becoming the highest paid actor in Hollywood.

Downey told the New York Times. The Oscar nominated actor starred as Iron Man between 2008 and 2019, ultimately becoming the world’s top earning actor. It was a dramatic turn around for the formerly incarcerated actor, sentenced to three years in prison in 1999 for cocaine possession charges. He was granted an early release in 2000. ““You could just feel the evil in the air,” he said in another recent interview, referring to his time in prison.

While it will definitely (as Kevin Feige so eloquently puts it in the same discussion below) go down as one of the best decisions in Hollywood history, there has already been so much written about Robert Downey, Jr. being cast as Tony Stark in 2008’s “Iron Man.” However, in a new interview with Feige and filmmaker Jon Favreau, it’s revealed that RDJ could have shown up in a Marvel film years before his “Iron Man” debut.

“Gooppodcast.“I think you may come back at some point,” Johansson, 38, interjected about her potential return as Pepper Potts in the superhero franchise.Paltrow then joked: “Really? A 64-year-old Pepper Potts? How great.”“One hundred percent, that’s happening. I can see it,” the “Marriage Story” star teased back. “They’re never gonna let you go.

Rachel McAdams returns to theaters later this month with “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.” It’s a significant role for the actress and one she wanted to do. She can’t say the same for some of the huge movies she turned down in the mid-2000s, some of which are the decade’s biggest films.

2008 Robert Downey Jr. film that launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe drove him “absolutely crazy.”The Oscar winner, 72, looked back on his career with Vanity Fair and explained why he was taken aback by filming, director Jon Favreau and the script itself.“It was Marvel’s first adventure into making movies.

Nile Rodgers, 69, once opened up about the time his heart “stopped eight times” during a debauched night out with Iron Man’s Robert Downey Jr, 57.The musician recalled being brought back to life by doctors after narrowly escaping death.Nile claimed that he and the Avengers star had enjoyed a seriously heavy night together back in 1984, before things took a turn for the terrifying. The musician reportedly sprung back to life seconds before doctors pronounced him dead.In a resurfaced interview, he remembered: “I died eight times in one night and they brought me back. “Eight times my heart stopped.”“I was hanging out with Robert Downey Jr… It was coke and alcohol. “I was fine, but then I passed out,” he continued.“Typical rock n roll death…You choke on your own vomit,” he told The Guardian.The incident clearly had an effect on Nile, as now the star can boast being sober for a quarter of a century. Nile is an American musician, producer and composer, responsible for more than 500 million albums and 75 million single sales worldwide.He has a star in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and is also the chairman of the Songwriters Hall of Fame.Chic co-founder Nile is also a three-time Grammy Award-winner, responsible for songs such as 1977’s Everybody Dance and 1978’s Le Freak. The star has collaborated with some of the most famous musicians in the world, including Madonna and Duran Duran.He also produced David Bowie’s Let’s Dance following Chic’s breakup in 1983. More recently, he has worked with artists like Mick Jagger, Grace Jones, Christina Aguilera and Lady Gaga.Nile is set to join a star-studded list of talent set to perform at Platinum Party at the Palace this weekend. On Saturday, the Buckingham Palace-set celebration will

When the Multiverse was revealed to be the main crux of the “Doctor Strange” sequel, the internet was barraged with a wave of rumored cameos with some that did happen (don’t worry we won’t spoil them) and a lot of others that didn’t. One of the bigger rumors getting circulated was that action star Tom Cruise could be playing a variant of Iron Man, harkening back to reports of the actor almost landing the role before Robert Downey Jr.

His success, he said in a 2013 interview, was inspired by the “vacuum” of a loveless upbringing.Speaking to the Daily Express, he said: “I had always been the song-and-dance man of the family.“I remember my father referring to me as ‘Our little Danny Kaye’ when I was about seven.“That was the only remotely positive comment I remember from them.“They never praised me or acknowledged a gram of talent.“Their way was to mock, ‘When are you going to finish with this acting lark?’ That sort of thing.”The Queen, he explained, helped heal the scars of his upbringing when she awarded him a knighthood in 2002 for services to the British film industry.He said: “Any kind of embrace was totally absent from my life.“So to be embraced by Her Majesty, I felt like stopping people in the street, saying ‘My mum loves me, you know’.“Because that’s what it felt like, to me.The filling of a vacuum in the universe.”Speaking separately to the BBC at the time, he said: “I told the Queen that winning an Oscar pales into insignificance — this is insurmountable.“I've been nominated for an Academy Award but I will be sitting there, in Los Angeles, thinking I'm a knight bachelor.”He added: “I feel that I am a storyteller and to receive a knighthood is really recognition of that.”He heartbreakingly admitted that, rather than being proud, his mother had been “very jealous” of his immense success.Sir Ben, married four times, has four children and is hugely proud of each of them.He told the Express: “In contrast to my parents their ribs are in danger of being crushed.”Sir Ben has largely cut ties from his past, having changed his name in the Sixties.On the impact of adopting an English-sounding name, he told the Radio Times in 2020: “As soon as I changed

2010’s “Iron Man 2.”But Johansson divulged in a new profile for Vanity Fair that when she took on the role, she “had never stepped foot in a gym” before her intense training for the action flick.The “Lost in Translation” actress also described her casting — at around age “23 or 24” — as “a humongous moment” for her.“I had never stepped foot in a gym, and I had five weeks to prepare myself for these huge stunt sequences,” she explained.“Back then when we were doing it, over a decade ago, it was before we kind of figured out how to be most efficient in the process of shooting stunt work – what could be handed off to other stunt people and what the actor would practically need to know,” she continued. “So I was doing these huge choreographed sequences and I had no previous experience with any of that stuff.

For the first decade of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iron Man was the biggest name in Marvel Studios. If you wanted to kickstart a franchise, just use Iron Man.
