Robert Downey, Jr. is suiting up to star in "Iron Man," a superhero movie based on the Marvel Comics character.

Jon Favreau is directing the Paramount Pictures release. Filming is slated to begin in February in Los Angeles.

Downey will portray Tony Stark, a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor who is kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon. Using his intelligence and ingenuity, Stark instead builds a high-tech suit of armor and escapes captivity. Upon his return to the U.S., he uncovers a plot with global implications and must don his armor and protect the world.

In the same spirit, I hereby nominate Cheer Bear of Care Bears fame to play the title role in the next "The Punisher" movie.

"The Marvel characters are not just about how high they jump or how fast they fly, they're about their character flaws," Feige said. "They're about their inner demons. They're about the struggles that they go through between being a man and being a hero."

It's gonna be a super hero intervention?

Dr. Phil will co-star

At least it's not Tom Cruise (as they were thinking a year ago).

Okay. If they're going to wimp-ify Iron Man, when should we expect the cover of Ozzy/Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" by Ashley Simpson?

This should not be so easily overlooked as greatness.

If this actually happens, I'm blaming you and I'm kicking your ***. :mad:

It just seemed logical. Don't kick the *** of the messenger.

Iron Man is my favorite ever. This makes me sad.

[silverwheels]

He was pretty good in A Scanner Darkly...but this is totally different.

[Frozen Sooner]

Tony Stark is an alcoholic billionaire dick.

This is brilliant casting.

It's like that character in Scanner was written for him...of course, when it was written he was a baby...

Honestly, I think that old guy from the soap opera my wife likes would be an inspired choice. If I knew which actor or even which soap, I'd post it. :O

If this was 20 years ago, I'd vote for Tom Selleck.

Selecting Robert Downey Jr makes me sad in my expressionless Iron Man helmet...

I'm offended.

[dolemitesooner]

Gawd amit.....I hate RDJ

[royalfan5]

Are they running out of comic books to make into movies yet?

[Pricetag]

Superhero movies suck now because so much of the time, the hero is completely computer generated.

[Taxman71]

No special effects were needed in my day to make me look manly!
