I like Cheadle, but not in this movie. He's good on House of Lies though.

so are they going to pretend all the mystical magical stuff from Avengers isn't real and go back to the grounded-future tech reality of Avengers 1 and 2?

I'd rather shoot myself in the face than watch another scene with Cheadle phoning it in.

Jackman is worth it as Wolverine just for that roar.
No sure if serious?

I don't know in what universe Jackie Earle Haley is more imposing than Hugh Jackman.

It's really not that hard to roar.. Rage 101.
Jackman is a handsome sweetheart with a meany face at best.
3-4 inches. JEH, 5'5 1/2'' vs TH, 5'9. So just imagine it if Haley bulked up for the part.
This is a man with a rough history.

Hardy still has a good 6 inches on Jackie and a bigger, more athletic frame to go with it.
But to each their own.
They live in a world where magic and science coexist.

Awesome news.
Kinda funny to see Pearce in a Marvel movie after getting shafted with roles for all the Nolan Bat films.

He had to continue what Terrance Howard started. And it failed because they are two completely different animals. You could feel that Howard's character had a responsibility to him and how Tony's behavior would irritate that, creating some quality amusement. You don't get that with Cheadle.

I think you're missing the point of casting someone like Jackman in the first place.

That's a great observation.
I thought Howard was actually the better choice for Rhodie. Shame that he and Marvel couldn't agree on compensation.

The thing about Jackman as wolverine is that he is recognizable. His cameo in X-Men: First Class was amazing and he didn't evenness to show his blades or act like he was wolverine. Everyone knows that he is, and Jackman loves to reprise that role any day, unlike other actors who start demanding more or ditch the character completely.
Favreau and Downey reportedly did not get along all that well with Howard on set.

The reason Howard wasn't brought back for Iron Man 2 is because he is a hurricane of fucking crazy. Dude is notoriously difficult to work with and has been since his career started. Dude has talent though.
When you look at the scene where Stark asks Rhodes if he wants to blow his dice, that is Downey improving. The reaction is Howard's. That's the shit I've heard from someone that's worked on both films. Hilariously, they got rid of Howard and then hired a entirely new and more dangerous form of crazy in the form of Mickey Rourke. I've heard the shit he was doing and some of his "demands" were hysterical. No specifics tho

The cockatoo was all him(Rourke). He thought that him having a pet would bring out the human characteristic in Ivan. He also had the production bringing in photos of his deceased dog to help channel some emotions during scenes. All of it was basically useless though because Mickey didn't even try. The movie used maybe 3% of his potential.

I've watched both movies, the second one had the dumbest villain fight I've seen in a while. "Hey bro let's do that thing we did at the party the other night."
Anyway I love Pearce so this should be good.

Coincidentally, Rourke has bad mouth Marvel as well. He's talked about how he created all of this awesome performance as the villain and Marvel cut it all out.
I'm starting to see a pattern with Marvel and it's stars being shafted.

Dude should be a superstar.
He's awesome in everything he's in.

and they thankfully left out that magical fantasy crap from the first 2 films. So is their going to be a sense of continuity with the 3rd film? Or can we expect 40 foot green men and demi-gods
A suit of armor that can do what Iron Man does is just as magical as an irradiated scientist and alien race that are treated as demi-gods.
The fact that you think Iron Man is more "realistic" is hilarious.

Could you highlight my post where I said Iron man was more "realistic"? Thanks
Sure.
Am I misinterpreting? I assume you meant IM 1 and 2, or the post makes even less sense.

I like Jackman as Wolverine but using height is a bad argument because he's only like 5'3 in the comics.
I don't see the conflict or the problem.

Most of the casting done for X-Men was about popularity and looks anyway, let's be honest.

So, where did i say Iron Man was realistic? I specifically said a grounded world with future tech. Hulk whether you like it or not, tonally, would have been a very abstract addition to Iron Man 1 and 2. And this is why Iron Man still stands as the strongest Marvel Studios film.

Guy Pearce is like the prostitute with the heart of gold that no tentpole director wants to invest more than one roll in the hay with.
I don't see the difference, you're splitting hairs. And completely wrong.

wolverine is supposed to be 5'3.
whats your point?
Edit:beaten badly.
and while the extremis storyline is what made me hate Iron comics, i think its perfect for a film. I just don't like how stark is essentially a cyborg now, it takes away from the "self-made superhero" persona he once had.
