    Damn it, don't make me bring out any one of the many awful Comic book Whiplash costumes to remind you that he's NEVER LOOKED GOOD.

    Actually, honestly: There really isn't a single Iron Man villian they can bring out that doesn't suck. his villians make Spider Man's look inspired by comparison.

    I am concerned about whether she will be able to pull it off. I have no worries about Rourke or Rockwell, but Scarlett hasn't established herself as a solid actress yet.

    @rhys1882: I really need to ask this question, even thought it is at the risk of belittling this movie and upsetting its legions of fans.:

    Why are people so worried that a BAFTA award winning and multiple Golden Globe award nominated actress with over 15 years of experience is not up to the task of playing a supporting role in a Comic Book movie?

    This isn't Lindsay Lohan or her ilk, this is fucking Scarlett Johansson, one of the most lauded actresses of her generation. I'm thinking she's going to do fine in a movie directed by the guy who played Monica's boyfriend in a six-episode guest spot on Friends.

    @DeltaGuy: Then again, how many nominated actors have showed up in a comic-movie as well and made it fall flat on it's nose?

    Examples:

    DareDevil
    -Ben Affleck
    (21 wins & 37 nominations, Oscar)

    Fantastic 4
    -Jessica Alba
    (9 wins & 29 nominations)

    Hulk (2003)
    -Eric Bana
    (7 wins & 9 nominations)
    -Jennifer Connelly
    (11 wins & 14 nominations, Oscar)

    Batman & Robin (1997)
    -George Clooney
    (32 wins & 71 nominations, Oscar)


    People are worried because we've seen it happen before. And it sure won't be the last time. You are right though, it can be considered rude to assume she's going to flat-out fail.

    @Klappstuhl: While I agree that the movies you listed are generally quite bad, I think your flaw is in stating that it is the fault of these actors that these movies were bad films. I'd argue that, for the films you listed, fault should like with the director and writers of the films for just giving these actors subpar material to perform.

    Ang Lee's Hulk, for example, is generally derided for having a script that was flawed for a number of reasons, including being too cerebral. I truly believe that if Eric Bana was cast in the recent remake, rather than Edward Norton, the end product would have still been a very passable and well received film.

    Similar complaints can be leveled against the writers and directors of Batman & Robin, as well as Daredevil. (Alba hasn't impressed me as an Actress, so I'm just going to pretend you didn't mention her).

    If Iron Man 2 is a bad film, it's going to be for the same reasons as these above films. Johansson, Rourke, and Downey can only work with the material that is presented to them. Frankly, I'm not yet convinced that Favreau can replicate his success, or a relatively unproven writer whose only other film has been a comedy can actually craft a decent sequel script.

    @Klappstuhl: You know, it's rarely the actor that's to blame. What was Jessica Alba supposed to do with the script in F4? or George Clooney in B&R? Enough with blaming the actors when it doesn't apply.

    I still wonder if all this stuff is going to gel. None of these characters outside of Tony and Rhodey are actully all that interesting on their own. That's the problem with Stane in the first movie.
