Marvel’s Kevin Feige Says Tom Cruise’s Iron Man Was Never an Option

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness opened to great acclaim in theatres this week, giving fans the opportunity to see all of the cameos hinted in the film's teaser trailers and posters.

Tom Cruise Iron Man Marvel


While many of them were pleased to see figures like Sir Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier return, others had high hopes, hoping to see Hollywood icon Tom Cruise, who was reported to be playing a variation of Tony Stark aka Iron Man.

Many "leaks" in the months preceding up to the release suggested that the actor will appear in the Doctor Strange sequel to reprise the role that he was offered by Marvel a few decades before it was handed to Robert Downey Jr. The majority of these reports stated that Cruise would play the Superior version, who would also be an Illuminati member.


'There's Still a Long Way to Go,' Tom Hiddleston Says of Loki's Bisexuality.

For the past few months, neither Marvel nor the actor has mentioned Superior Iron Man's likely presence in the film. However, Multiverse of Madness writer Michael Waldron confirmed in a recent Rolling Stones interview that the casting was a fan-created rumour with no basis.

"That was all made up. There's no cut footage of Tom Cruise, for example!"

However, Waldron also stated that he had plans to cast Tom Cruise as Iron Man and had already spoken with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige about it.

"I adore Tom Cruise, and I once inquired of Kevin Feige, "Could we get Tom Cruise's Iron Man?" Back in the day, I remember reading in Ain't It Cool News that Tom Cruise was going to play Iron Man."

However, because to scheduling conflicts with his work on Mission Impossible 7 and 8, the studio never approached the actor about joining Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

"No, I don't think so. Because of availability, I don't believe it was ever a possibility."

In the end, it's interesting to remember that Marvel had plans to include Cruise in the film, even if they never came to fruition.

However, it raises the possibility of the actor donning the suit in a future MCU film, and fans would love to see him portray the millionaire genius.

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

Image
Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with ...

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
