I got very sick, actually. I think I would find it very difficult to find a role that would warrant that sort of abuse on my body again. The mission with Cherry was to make people have an emotional response to the material, not an intellectual response. After we read the book we felt that the only person who could play this and carry the correct level of empathy was Tom. He threw himself per cent in, physically, emotionally, spiritually — it takes its toll, this kind of material, you know?
All by Prada. So the Russo brothers owe Holland? Big time. Like, who is going to be responsible for the casting of this role? Anthony and I are extremely opinionated and very bullish in our opinions, especially when it comes to cast because we cherish our opinions with them and have a very particular taste when it comes to our work style. You are going to love him.
Finn, at this point, already had a knockout record with casting across the MCU. Perhaps more than anyone, she has held influence over which actors get cast as which immortal cape wearers, time benders and hammer throwers.
The fact is, if you want to get into a Marvel movie, Finn even more so than Marvel president Kevin Feige is the gatekeeper your agent needs to initially impress. So Holland came in. He did his test. Holland had that thing. So Holland was a shoo-in? Casting Spider-Man, at any moment in time, is a big deal. As the juggernauting commercial success of Marvel continued to ramp up in and , however, it became an even bigger deal.
A lot of people could make a lot of money. And a lot of people wanted sign-off on who would be the next Peter Parker. Sony knew this only too well. So we brought [Holland] back, brought him back, brought him back, and we were relentless in our pursuit of jamming him down the throat of the studio who owns this IP.
It came down to a fight, yet Sony just kept dragging their feet. Both by David Yurman. Or are we giving it to them to help us reinvent it in a way that adds value for us? Which was very important to us; there was a distinct nervousness of casting a kid. Brands are becoming a driver; stars are becoming arguably less important. I think narrative and media are going to be disrupted over the next ten years, like cars and energy have been.
It takes a perfect storm of events to create a star: talent, timing, marketplace. Although what some casual Marvel fans might not know is that the Spider-Man audition story is even more charmingly Tom Holland than the charming Tom Holland Spider-Man audition story they think they know already. Thankfully, weirdly, something happened that loosened the pressure valve on my anxiety that day.
I saw Ant and Joe and then I saw Downey standing there in the casting room. I went over. I introduced myself. So, actually, I got my jittery, loser vibe out of the way.
And then, when I actually met Downey, I was a little more cool and collected. What advice did Downey give you that day? Enjoy the process and let your body take over.
I was doing a new Spider-Man scene just the other day and I had to eat a bowl of cereal. Downey also remembers the casting session with Tom Holland. Marvel movies are heavily scripted and, usually, so too are such casting sessions. He was seasoned, good presence.
I could tell he had good kung fu; he could roll with the punches and keep it more than interesting. They shall remain unnamed, but they all did well and any one of them would have brought something else to the part of Spider-Man. But why Holland? Gravitas and the confidence to be able to take on the mantle.
That character is the gold standard in the MCU. Iron Man? When I became Iron Man few had even heard of the character, ergo less pressure. But Spider-Man? Everyone knows Spider-Man. Andrew Garfield did a good job. Tobey Maguire did a good job.
So I ask you again: why does Tom Holland get to be number three? Downey, of course, has an answer for this. Movie audiences probably won't be troubled by Iron Man dealing out vigilante justice , but experts question how to hold military contractors accountable for their actions if things go badly. Private individuals work in a murky area where no law seems to apply, leading to incidents such as the shooting of Iraqi civilians by guards working for the private military company Blackwater.
There's no need to worry about Tony Stark, though. He is, by cinematic definition, one of the good guys. IE 11 is not supported. For an optimal experience visit our site on another browser. Politics Covid U. News World Opinion Business. Share this —. Follow NBC News. By By Jeremy Hsu. Considering how many people look up to Tony, he really should take a lesson in humility and learn tp keep himself under control.
Even though his egomania can make him difficult to deal with, Tony does try to put his best food forward most of the time. The Iron Man comic Superior Iron Man explored what would happen if Stark turned evil, due to a spell by Scarlet Witch which inadvertently exacerbates Tony's megalomania.
He begins using Extremis as seen in Iron Man 3 to create a Utopia filled with people in his vision. In fact, he becomes so evil to the point that he is looking to "cleanse" the world of people that do not fit his image. This is a far cry from the Iron Man that MCU fans know, but sometimes even the greatest men can turn evil. It is strange to think about Tony Stark in a vulnerable position, but he was not always Iron Man.
When the armor is stripped away, he is still a billionaire, playboy philanthropist, but he is certainly at the mercy of evil-doers. Upon his debut in the MCU, Stark is visiting Afghanistan to show off his new weapons to the military.
However, he is ambushed by a group of criminals and abducted. While modern-day Tony Stark would have had an Iron Man suit available to fight, this took place before his first suit was made.
Tony had a long way to go before becoming the powerhouse he is now. Looking back on it, he had no business taking the trip out to a war-ravaged country. In fact, most of his franchise has centered around his relationship with his father, and his thirst to continue his legacy.
Meanwhile in , the Marvel comics threw out everything that fans thought they know about Stark's past. The Secret Origin of Tony Stark storyline revealed that Stark had actually been adopted in to the family.
Considering how much Tony identifies with the famous Stark family name, this was surprising, to say the least. Furthermore, it was also revealed that Howard and Maria had a biological son named Arno Stark. With so much history in the MCU, it would be difficult to change it now.
This also leaves many fans uneducated about their favorite superhero's past. While Captain America: Civil War explored the most famous conflict between the Avengers, it is not the first time Tony has made waves in the group. Seeing the most powerful heroes fight was incredibly epic, but it also forced people to choose sides. As of Infinity War , the conflict has not been fully resolved, but has been set aside to tackle bigger problems.
However, Tony has created rifts in his groups before. Tony obviously has a problem with authority, but he needs to learn to work with his friends. While Tony was a proponent of teaming with the group, Carol Danvers was against it.
This resulted in another split of the group, causing both fans and heroes to choose sides. If there is one thing that Tony should mess with, it is the relationship he has with Pepper Potts. Despite all of his faults, Pepper has stuck by his side and remained a loyal ally. The worst thing that Tony Stark could do is damage the best thing in his life. In fact, he has come close many times, but most recently he did something pretty scummy.
Following the adventures in Spider-Man: Homecoming , Peter Parker leaves Tony behind at a press conference where he was to be unveiled as a new hero. With a room full of press waiting for a big announcement, Tony suggests that he propose to Pepper. Positioning their relationship to be a publicity stunt is very insulting to Pepper. In fact, she deserves much more better than that. The change seems heartfelt Just as Stark acts instinctually by creating Ultron, Rogers is bases his opinions on his gut reaction-- he's nervous that these accords will prevent the Avengers from defending the innocent and defenseless.
When Rogers fails to meet eye-to-eye with S. In this instance, Stark turns the Avengers against one another. For someone trying to promote peace, Stark sure causes a lot of the friction in this debate. Though Stark Industries has long-since stopped manufacturing weaponry, it still did so for many, many years. It was only after being caught in the Jericho Missle explosion that Stark decided that his weapons were too dangerous to continue making.
However, Stark's partner, Obediah Stane, secretly continues negotiating Stark's weaponry with the "Ten Rings," a terrorist group that gives Stane leftover technology from Stark's first suit.
Stane uses this technology to create his own prototype and goes on a massive crime spree. Also, in Avengers: Age of Ultron , Pietro and Wanda Maxinoff seek revenge against Stark, as his weapons are responsible for their parents' demise. They join Ultron to fulfill this goal and cause all sorts of trouble for the Avengers. These are just two accounts of villains driven by Stark's destructive technology, but there are many more to choose from. Though he's gotten a better hold of his ego, Iron Man's know-it-all personality makes him nearly impossible to work with.
Even as a fellow Avenger, he's clashed verbally and in battle with all his teammates at some point or another. However, a definite sign that Iron Man can't be team player happens when even S. Granted, Nick Fury has a special personality of his own, but he's definitely more grounded than Stark he's S. After the events of Iron-Man 2, Fury and the rest of S. Talk about the highest form of rejection. First off, Tony Stark personally sees through the launching of his weaponry, as he does with the Jericho missile in the first Iron Man.
He then often becomes obsessed with said creations. For example, he becomes fixated upon the Iron Man suit prototype, devoting an unruly amount of time to perfecting the model. In Avengers: Age of Ultron , Stark creates Ultron without giving a second-thought to the dangers that this new artificial intelligence.
Also, one of the biggest signs of his obsession is him giving Peter Parker the enhanced Spider-Man suit, well aware that Parker was new to such advanced technology. In Iron Man 2 , Iron Man learns that the arc reactor keeping him alive is also slowly poisoning him.
Thinking that his days are numbered, he holds one last, lavish party in his mansion.
