Robert Downey, Jr. talks ‘Iron Man 3’
Downey Jr. talks ‘Iron Man 3’, Extremis armor, and a possible exit to the franchise.
Personally, I don’t like when franchises recast roles. It worked for the older James Bond films because it was a part of the campiness and the films didn’t really feel like one larger story - it was only loosely tied together. Modern films have a larger responsibility to audiences to keep roles as consistent as possible. Rachel Dawes being recast in ‘The Dark Knight’ was a bit annoying, but essentially just reinforced that Katie Holmes never should have been cast in the first place.“Or course, he’s [RDJ] obligated to return for a second ‘Avengers’ movie. But stories floated a while back about Marvel treating Tony Stark like James Bond, recasting the role and keeping the franchise moving with a fresh face (and no need for a reboot).”
HA HA HA this is so funny, Marvel. Good one. There are just some roles that can’t be recasted, and RDJ is Tony Stark as far as I’m concerned (regardless if I’m a RDJ fan or not). I don’t think I can see or accept anybody else to be Tony Stark.
“Saying he’s going to “leave it all on the field” suggests to us that this could be RDJ’s last turn in a standalone ‘Iron Man’ movie.”
I seriously don’t even understand how this was concluded from that quote. The context is that he was talking about the writing style of the movies, and that he feels passionately about Stark evolving and changing and switching up the formula to make sure these stories aren’t repetitive. Hero fights bad guy, hero wins. I completely understand what he’s saying. If in this third film we don’t learn something new or Stark doesn’t learn something new about himself and keep that then this film won’t be very interesting in the long run. He wants there to be a flow, a stepping stone, not just ‘that other sequel you really don’t even have to watch to understand the franchise films that follow’. Iron Man 2 was almost that. How on Earth do you get “Time to let it go” from “leave it all on the field”? It sounds to me like he’s still talking about what he said one sentence before that, where do you go from here? You have to put something out there, lay it down, say this is where Tony begun and this is now where he is going…
“What do you think? Is Downey laying the groundwork for a possible franchise exit? And do you think they should blow it out with ‘Iron Man 3’ to give him an explosive send off?”
Firstly… um… no? I think people give actors way too much credit. There twenty people in charge of how this films turns out to every one actor in the movie. All RDJ was saying is that he wants the films to have more to offer and a bigger story to tell than the same arc of the movie before it. It’s the writers, director, producers, studio who would lay said ‘groundwork’. It’s in their hands to make sure they’re putting out this quality film. Also why would they give RDJ something of a ‘blow out explosive’ dismiss if they don’t plan to reboot the franchise when he’s gone?
I don’t like the way this article is written at all. I think it’s scaring people for no reason.
“Peter?” A flash of fire shined behind his eyelids.
“Peter?” Something smooth but heavy collided with his face. He felt himself lift up, like he was going to take off and fly.
Everything he knew crashed down around him when he woke up in a hospital bed. He hadn’t been in a hospital since he was nine when Aunt May broke her arm. Peter’s arm was in a cast. Where was his Aunt May now?
Everything Peter knew was being swept up on the corner of 83rd and 2nd. He’d never seen the road so wild, thinking NYC traffic didn’t allow for it. Unfortunately fifty year old men driving twenty thousand pound semi trucks sometimes drink when their third wife takes their money and runs. And sometimes they think they’re slamming their breaks at the last minute to stop at a red light but in their drunken state they get the pedals mixed up in their head.
His eyes opened and he didn’t know how to feel. Thankful to be alive or regretful. At first he could feel the awkward numbing sensation stirring in his wrist. The parts inside of his arm felt out of place and that would explain why it was covered in gauze and plaster. His other arm was wrapped but he didn’t know it was because he was left with burns from his thumb to his elbow. Next he felt a throbbing around his eye and it stinging cut above his brow. He flew forward in the car and his face slammed into the headrest of the passenger seat. Then his temple made impact with the window despite his seatbelt. At some point the car flipped and Peter was found wedged between backseat and the dashboard. The gap between the two had gone from three yards to just inches. Obviously Peter was in much better shape than Uncle Ben’s car. Where was his Uncle Ben now?
Anonymous asked you: Will you please make a gif set of an awkward dinner between tony, Steve, peter, and Gwen? Thank you!
Anonymous asked you: What does Wade think of Peter/Gwen?
Peter and Gwendy like to sing and jam out after they finish their homework.
Oh geez, look at all the notes you DORKS get…
Oh that’s an older one too, here ya go!
This was one of the first few gifsets I made, I think.
Peter missed curfew but he doesn’t take his dad’s very seriously.
(sidenote: I made this set with no real intention of Spideypool implied, I just thought it would a fun thing for Steve to get uppity about at the time)

“This didn’t have to happen. This wouldn’t have happened if he’d been trained. If he knew what he was doing. He wouldn’t have killed her. He’d have known how to save her! He wouldn’t have killed her!”
“The Green Goblin found her because he knew who Peter was. The Registration Act will rip all heroes of their secret identities and no one they love will be safe! And this will happen again and again!”
The Night Gwen Stacy Died and Iron Man/Captain America: Casualties of War
Peter quite literally swung by the labs on his way home from school. He thought if he met up with Tony they could head back to the tower together. Anyway, Peter would make any excuse to come inside. Usually it was to geek out over the wall to wall science that filled the building but every now and then someone would pop in that the teenager admired since childhood. If he had predicted that was going to happen today he wouldn’t have left his camera at home this morning.
