Iron Man is Watching

[jackwabbit]

Okay, so I know most of you don't read comics, but... I find it positively hysterical that Tony Stark is watching out for Donald Blake. From Robert Downey Junior, on visiting the set of Thor:

"I take it fairly seriously, as a bit of an ambassador from Marvel, it's important for me to just show up and let these guys know there's a presence and an awareness, and a gratitude, and a bit of a commiseration — because these are tough movies to pull off. I think between the casting and Branagh at the helm, I particularly feel that 'Thor' is on a really solid page right now."

Talk about a role reversal! *laughs and laughs and laughs* Iron Man looking out for Thor! Hee, hee, hee! Also, I'm tickled that RDJ takes his role as Iron Man so seriously. I mean, he's always been that way as an actor, but for him to understand that as Iron Man he needs to comprehend the Universe his character inhabits means a lot to us Marvelphiles.

*sigh* Zac Levi was supposed to be in the Thor movie. But he had to turn it down when Chuck got it's extra six-ep order. Which was a good and bad thing simultaneously.

I should probably mention that I have absolutely no familiarity with Thor the comic book franchise, only that if Zac was involved, my interest would have become instantaneously built-in. ;-)

Whereas I don't really know who Zec Levi is. (Yes, I know he's the guy from Chuck and that he led the Subway exodus from that con in the UK, but that's it.) I do, however, know about Thor and Donald Blake.

Thus is life, no?

Funny, the Subway exodus was right around the time my adoration of Zac vaulted into the danger red zone. ;-) I can't remember what part they offered him-- one of the main three guys or something?

Beats me. I don't do spoilers.

I mean, when a major casting announcement is made, it's kind of hard to miss, but the whole "will he or won't he" and "who might play this" stuff is too much for me.
