"And he can do the 'Demon in a Bottle' story line really well, too!"

Robert Downey, Jr., to play Iron Man. Filming begins in February.

Marvel's president of productions, Kevin Feige, said Downey Jr's "versatility... makes him an ideal fit to play such a complex character". [...] The 41-year-old's widely reported drug problems led to prison, rehabilitation and probation in the 1990s.

Quoth ***Dave ...

Alas (or, perhaps, huzzah) the DitB storyline will come in a later installment.

Quoth Avocet ...

So far, I like what I've read. He's going to build the grey suit first, and upgrade to the red-and-gold one. And the chest beam is going to be a circle!

I also see there's an Ant-Man film in the works, which has Scott Lang stealing the suit from Henry Pym!

Not to mention new incarnations of Captain America, Nick Fury, Thor, and the Hulk, apparently.

And, possibly, the Avengers. Whew!
