If Iron Man truly does get rebooted what do you hope to see?

Me personally I'm hoping we actually get the classic armor this time. I'm also hoping we get Whitney Frost aka Madame Masque, Bethany Cabe, and Crimson Dynamo among others.

Also we need the Mandarin returned so he can be Tony's Arch nemesis like he was always supposed to be.

Colbert as J.A.R.V.I.S.

JLD25032025-10-12 14:32

I want villains like Living Laser and Technovore.

MX24192025-10-12 18:47

For the small amount of time they got in Avengers EMH they were cool and formidable for the most part.

DarthDinkster2025-10-12 14:33

Mostly I’d want them to feature more of his rouges gallery and potentially try to do the secret identity/bodyguard thing from the early comics to differentiate it from the older movies

Powersoutdotcom2025-10-12 16:25

Yes! This was the Iron Man I always enjoyed.

Having crazy villains try to attack Iron man to get at Stark, not knowing its Tony in there adapting on the fly and having human instincts.

_PrincessOats2025-10-12 14:34

I don’t want to see any more Iron Man. His time is over, Marvel should focus on other awesome characters.

clocktickmakemecrazy2025-10-12 15:56

This. RDj was great as the Tony Stark and they should not recast him anytime soon. Maybe in 10 years. Right now, there are so many other characters who need to be in more movies but we have had just 1 movie and barely any appearances for those. I don't want the reboot to completely change what happened in the Infinity Saga.

labbla2025-10-12 16:23

If we can have 7 people be Batman then we can have another person be Iron Man. RDJ will remain iconic but that doesn't mean other actors can't have their own version of the character.

clocktickmakemecrazy2025-10-12 16:48

Yeah but that is in part how WB works with DC. Marvel hasn't and usually doesn't do that. Just look at how they retired the male Black Panther after Chadwick Boseman passed away. They could have easily recast, but didn't. Why would they pass the Captain America mantle to the Falcon? They could've just recast. But no, they keep true to the story.

labbla2025-10-12 16:50

They most likely are going to recast Captain America and Black Panther. They're too valuable not to. Marvel isn't just going to retire characters forever. Continuity is nice until you run out of characters that people really want to watch.

If Marvel could do the last few years over again I imagine they would have recast Black Panther, Iron Man and Captain America earlier. You can only go without your most popular characters for so long.

SeekerVash2025-10-12 19:05

>If we can have 7 people be Batman then we can have another person be Iron Man.

That's leaving out an \*enormous\* amount of detail.

It was 7 people as Batman in unrelated movies. Keaton's Batman and Bale's Batman aren't at all the same person, and in fact they retread the same ground.

OTOH, with Ironman, you're trying to recast into the same continuity with a different actor as the same character.

You could make an argument around Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney, but then you'd have to discuss how it was steadily decreasing revenue and interest. Which is exactly what would happen with Ironman. Could you do it? Sure. But it'll make half or less of what RDJ made, because for many RDJ is Ironman.

The best bet is to go the route of Star Trek, wait 30 years and then recast Kirk.

labbla2025-10-12 22:15

30 years? That's crazy talk. Marvel is not going to wait that long to have an Iron Man. Continuity really does not matter as much as you think. Especially if it's costing a company millions and millions of dollars they could make. Or over 30 years that's billions and billions and losing whole generations of people who would be interested in Marvel movies with Iron Man. That would get Feige and everyone fired for being that lax with using an ultra popular character.

SeekerVash2025-10-13 01:39

I agree, they're probably not going to wait that long.

But continuity does matter as much as I think it does. Comics fans will embrace different people playing the same character, the general audience will not.

Case in point, Netflix axed The Witcher after recasting without even waiting to see how the general audience would take it, because they know it's going to bomb.

It's not costing them millions or billions, recasting Ironman any time soon will cost them millions and billions. The general audience is going to walk because that's not "their" Ironman, and they'll be looking back on the glory days of The Marvels' 200m box office take.

Recasting is not as simple as you think it is, and it absolutely isn't going to improve their situation.

labbla2025-10-13 02:21

It will improve their situation because they can make new Iron Man movies. Recasting has never been a big deal. The general audience has seen it happen over and over again. The only ones I've ever seen confused and scared by it are fans.

We're going to have a new James Bond pretty soon. We're going to have another new Batman soon. Soon enough we'll have a new Wolverine. We were supposed to have a new Blade by now. Eventually there will be a new Spider-Man because It's just a regular part of making movies. Because a series going on for decades just can't use the same actor forever.

clocktickmakemecrazy2025-10-13 03:55

We had three different Spidermans because of it's rights switching hands continuously, maybe we wouldn't have had these many. James Bond has been a very old franchise and it's now seen as an obvious that every few years we will see a new James Bond. The Batmans - almost none of those movies where the Batman gets recast are ever connected - they have no continuity. But the MCU does. Maybe Avengers Doomsday wasn't supposed to happen right now but got moved up because of what happened with Majors. Maybe Kang was supposed to be the next big bad who shakes up the universe. We might never know. But we were certainly not going to see a new Iron Man anytime soon. Maybe, if we see all the Multiverse become one Universe or something completely different happens in 2027, we might get new actors for these characters with new stories. But this won't happen until the current story they have set-up so far comes to some form of conclusion. 30 years for a recast is obviously too much - I guess the IPs of some of these characters goes public in 2035 anyway. But it will be atleast 5-10 years from now when we see any recasts and full resets.

labbla2025-10-13 04:02

Spider-Man had nothing to do with rights. It's always been owned by Sony. The Spider-Man movies being made now are a joint Sony-Marvel production. Sony is still doing their own thing with Spider-Man in the fantastic Spider-Verse movies.

And actually, Batman Forever makes a direct reference to Catwoman from Batman Returns and then Batman & Robin has Batman Forever references. All with different Batman.

Marvel has done recasting before with War Machine and Hulk and would have done that with Kang if Quantumania had been a huge success.

Okay, clearly we're just talking past each other at this point. Have a great day or night and I hope you like whatever happens with Marvel and Iron Man.

GarySoneji2025-10-13 07:51

What you’re prosing would be like recasting Luke, Leia, Han, or Vader for episode 10 of Star Wars.

Marvel Studios isn’t trying to milk supposed fan favorites to make extra money. Their goal from the start has been introducing the movie watchers to beloved comic characters. It worked. Now they’re trying to do it with the other characters they have access to.

No_Imagination_24902025-10-12 14:52

It isn't going to happen, not for many years anyway. Marvel are going to be focusing on the X-Men and the Fantastic Four after phase 6.

Komaisnotsalty2025-10-12 14:55

Okay, this is shallow and I adore RDJ as an actor - his casting was spot on.

But

Iron Man in the comics is not a small guy. With the suit on, Tony Stark is 6’6 and 6’2 without it.

RDJ is 5’8 or so.

It bothers my comic book brain to see Tony Stark so small.

ExpressMud80382025-10-12 18:03

if i remember correctly he was standing face to face with Cap in every scene they share. So he aint small

Komaisnotsalty2025-10-12 18:06

Watch how it was filmed: RDJ is on ramps and lifts or risers, even when wearing his shoes with lifts, or the camera angle hides it.

Pretty easy to see, especially if you see them on stage at Comicon or something side-by-side.

I mean, Evans is 6’0, RDJ is 5’8.

ExpressMud80382025-10-12 18:15

Yes RDJ had to stand on platforms to accommodate for Tony Stark's height. They never portrayed Tony Stark as a small guy so I'm not sure where the disagreement is.

labbla2025-10-12 15:12

I hope we get some variation on the Cold War spy action stories and more comic accurate versions of Crimson Dynamo and Whiplash and what not. It'd be nice to actually have a Demon in the Bottle story.

Towelie-420692025-10-12 16:03

Disney will never adapt Demon in a Bottle. It’s just too fucked for them (even though the story itself is technically anti-substance abuse).

labbla2025-10-12 16:08

Then they're the wrong people to be making these things. Alcoholism is a very normal problem and it's not fucked up at all to have a story about it.

buddhabear072025-10-12 15:28

Armor Wars storyline.

Responsible_Hour_5672025-10-12 15:42

Idc as long as it’s not RDJ

Doctor_Moon85172025-10-12 16:18

I hope he has the personality of Tony from the comics, a narcissistic, egomaniacal millionaire and that they adopt the story of his alcohol problems

RubiconPizzaDelivery2025-10-16 02:12

Bummer as it is, I don't know how much they're willing to truly handle some of the more harsh topics in hero stories. They took out the abuse from Ant-Man, as an example and I'm not talking about Hank and Janet, I'm talking how fucked up the Lang family is sometimes.

ChaoticCaptain1772025-10-12 22:52

I hope to see more of his rogues gallery

Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-10-12 23:25

Recast eventually was Feige’s words. I highly doubt we’re gonna see Tony Stark and Steve Rogers recast in the next saga. No recasts for bygone characters besides the X-Men. Not for another decade plus.
