That's how it's done.

So, in Iron Man 2, Gary Oldman is playing Tony Stark's father instead of the rumored Tim Robbins? Well, now I won't spend the whole movie asking "Wait, was Tony adopted? Did his mom sleep around a lot? Was he some kind of genetic experiment that Papa Stark raised as a son? EXPLAIN TO ME THIS VAST DISCREPANCY IN AWESOME!"

Gary Oldman as Robert Downey Jr's dad?

That's ... Jesus, that's sublime.

And hey, their personal politics even match!

...Gary Oldman and RDJ in the same movie. And that movie is Iron Man.


This so makes up for the re-casting of Rhodes. <33333

Hey! You're discounting the possibility that Stark's mother was awesome! Maybe she was Barda! Or Sarah Connor! Or Chuck Norris! (What, you think he couldn't do it if he wanted to?)

I refuse to believe Barda or Sarah Connor would have anything to do with Tim Robbins. He was in City of Ember, for Christ's sake!
