"Robert Downey Jr is Iron Man
Robert Downey Jr. has landed the title role in Marvel Comics' big screen adaptation of "Iron Man".
The versatile actor will star as billionaire industrialist and inventor Tony Stark, who is kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon. Instead, he builds a high-tech suit of armour and escapes captivity, vowing to protect the world as Iron Man.
"We could not think of another actor better suited to bring one of Marvel's crown jewels to the big screen and be the centrepiece of our first independently produced feature," said Kevin Feige, President of Production, Marvel Studios.
The film will be directed by Jon Favreau (Zathura: A Space Odyssey). Production commences in Los Angeles in February 2007."
