Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.

"Aint It Cool News" is reporting that the lead role of Tony Stark in the upcoming Iron Man movie will be played by none other than Robert Downy, Jr. For those uninformed of the Iron Man mythos, Tony Stark is a rich and well-respected man who develops a substance abuse problem. Hmm...

And a word of advice for this film so it doesn't go down the path of all the other comic book films. DO NOT MAKE THE WHOLE MOVIE A FREAKIN' LOVE STORY!
