Yet another reason to see the upcoming movie Ironman; Jeff Bridges will now be starring alongside Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Terrence Howard. The good people over at yahoo.com give us this on the story:
Jeff Bridges has joined the cast of the superhero film “Iron Man,” the first feature film to be produced independently by Marvel Entertainment. “We’ve been talking to Jeff for long time,” Marvel’s president of production, Kevin Feige, said. “There are many facets to this character which I can’t discuss, but looking at the spectrum of all of Jeff’s roles, this fits in nicely with the man who played ‘Starman,’ ‘Tucker,’ ‘Big Lebowski,’ with a little bit of ‘Tron‘ thrown in.”
Here is the general info between Downey and Bridges characters: Downey Jr. stars as armor-clad superhero Iron Man and his alter ego, billionaire industrialist Tony Stark. Bridges will portray a confidant and close business associate of Stark, a longtime employee at defense contractor Stark Industries who plays a major role in shaping Stark’s life.
Man this gets me excited! Bridges is a good actor and the fact that the creators are saying that his skills from The Big Lebowski and Tron are going to be used…damn that makes me curious! The more I hear about this movie the more I want to see it. But with everything still in Pre Production I’m just hoping that Ironman will actually come out this year.
