I'd say RDJ is staying put too but i've also seen strangers things come out of Hollywood too.

Yup

TDKR

Yeah. He's not going anywhere.
I doubt Marvel would take such a risk as cutting out RDJ from the roster, especially given the success of the three Iron Man films (if you include Avengers)!

 

[Wor-Gar]

He'll stay so long that you'll eventually wish he'd stop playing the role, like Harrison Ford. This is his Forever Paycheck.

If he goes on a bender now, we would only be able to measure it in terms of Sheen. But it's really amazing to see his reversal of fortune. There was a time when I thought he'd never be able to pull himself out of his funk.

I guess some people just grow up and others (Sheen) just don't

They MUST keep RDJ at least through Avengers 2.

It'd be crazy for them to let him go, even stupider to drop him mid-"Phase."

TA2? I'd say at least until TA3. They need him for the proposed trilogy completion.

If they replace RDJ before all this is done, Marvel and Disney would be signing their fanboy death warrants.

That would be like replacing Jack Sparrow with someone else. Doesn't and wouldn't work.

He credits his wife for his turnaround. I'm glad it happened. I always liked him and I always hated seeing him in the news for drinking and drugging.

I think RDJ will be around as long as HE wants to be. Since his role has a lot of CGI to it, he can get pretty long in the tooth and still play the role.

I like this Avengers team. I hope they don't break it up.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Yup

TDKR

You hate TDKR but all you collect is Nolan batman figures?

It makes absolutely no sense, does it.

Obadiah disagrees... and Steve Buscemi thinks you're nuts.

John Goodman just doesn't give a f__k anymore.

I'm eagerly anticipating watching it at home far removed from the fog of hype that was the biggest epic ever since the silent years and best movie in years screening reviews worthy of 15 oscars.

That mixed with a very bored midnight showing crowd, opening weekend movie theater massacre plus a weak LOS backstory with silly Talia combined with truncated editing left me all rather confused.

But man do I love BB and TDK.

Now I just consider Avengers the 3rd Batman movie I wanted.

 

[ZaCHw117]

You let the hype kill it for you?

 

[jye4ever]

You let the hype kill it for you?

Avengers hype was fulfilled.

 

[jye4ever]

A few more weeks for IM3 trailer.

It's like an extension of the Avengers a mere 5 months after the movie was released.

Brilliant strategy by Marvel.

Couldn't agree more. RDJ turned out a success in the end and that's all that matters now.

Regardless on how one feels about the film, the toys are still AWESOME!

RDJr isn't going anywhere anytime soon. He knows he's too valuable to be let go and Disney/Marvel knows it too. I think anyone besides him is expendable really. Even Jackson as Fury even though the role was literally written for him. RDJr is the whole reason we even got the Avengers. If Iron Man had tanked at the box office like the Hulk did, we wouldn't have gotten a second Iron man let alone Avengers. He built this whole Marvel franchise and won't be going anywhere. If anything, I think Marvel will pull a Fury and sign him up for a good dozen or so films at once, throw in a few TV SHIELD appearances and call it a day.

The problem lies with Feige though, who's already gone on record as saying they'd "Bond" the role. Here's hoping that was just posturing for the inevitable negotiation and he'll wind up giving RDJ the same salary with more points. After watching that Target Ex doc(s), I don't see how a single person could think he's not the glue for the Marvel U on screen.

 

[jye4ever]

Speaking of which, is the Target doc worth sitting thru?

Is Void gay for Nolan?

 

[ZaCHw117]

Speaking of which, Nam. I scored the Target disk off a boardie.

Should be here soon.
