Iron Man Cast Photo

By Ryan 'The Rican with the Irish name' McLelland on June 23, 2007

How can anyone NOT be excited about Iron Man???  Especially when this week's Entertainment Weekly puts out a stellar cast photo like this one!

For those who aren't in the know we'll go from left to right:

Terrance Howard is James Rhodey.  Military pilot and Stark's right hand man.  In later years he wears a black & white suit of armor and goes by 'War Machine'.

Gwyneth Paltrow is Pepper Potts - Stark Enterprises employee and love interest to Tony Stark.

Robert Downey, Jr. is Tony Stark/Iron Man - business guru, alcoholic, and creator of the Iron Man armor.  He's a man who has everything and has more of a chance of being beaten by his addictions than villains.

Jeff Bridges is Obediah Stane - mentor to Tony Stark.  Becomes Iron Monger in the comic book, an Iron Man nemesis.  Is he the baddie in this film?  It remains to be seen as director Jon Favreau has already confirmed that The Mandarin will be the villain.

Iron Man's the first monster blockbuster of the Summer 2008 season when it hits theaters May 2008.
