Downey Jr. to Play Stark
It was announced last week that Robert Downey Jr. will play the role of billionaire and genius inventor Tony Stark in the upcoming Iron Man film. For those that don’t know, that will also mean he’d be wearing the Iron Man suit as well, but you have to assume that will rarely happen in this age of CGI.
I actually like this choice as Downey Jr. can actually channel his inner addict for the role. In the comics, Stark is an alcoholic and has trouble staying off the sauce. In fact, many times getting sauced up helps him get the job done.

Agreed. Downey – is above all – a good actor (on the same page as Johnny Depp) so I think his casting is a good choice. More Eric Bana’s Bruce Banner than Nick Cage’s Johnny Blaze.
