With the casting of
Robert Downey Jr. as
Iron Man, the superhero film went from being a movie I was curious about seeing to a movie that I can't wait to see. Yes folks, I think they really nailed it with the casting on this one.... just perfect. Anyway, Tony Stark himself was talking to

Ghost Rider looks pretty cool, if it can match up to that then why not?
"I went after it like a greyhound after a rabbit," he said when asked whether Favreau approached him or whether he went after the part. "I loved Marvel and 'Iron Man' to me is the goods.

I really think they are going to deliver the goods on this one, everything so far has been spot on. Iron Man is set to be released on May 2nd 2008. For those who care the "reimaging" of the
Hulk franchise will hit cinema's a couple of months later on June 27th to be directed by and I quote from the Marvel press release.... "rising star"
Louis Leterrier who's credits include
Transporter 2 and
Unleashed. Well it can't be worse than
