Yep. David Maisel was the guy that had the idea for the MCU. Even though people like to credit Kevin Feige. And yeah, Tom Rothman. The guy that cut the budget on that first X-Men and gave them less time to make it. The guy responsible for the theatrical cut of Daredevil. The guy responsible for Galactus being a cloud.

Considering it was written in 1997, it most likely would've come out between 1999 and 2000 following Blade's footsteps. And I feel like people would've gone to see it regardless. And because Iron Man was kinda obscure at the time, I'm sure some casual viewers wouldn't even know the film they grew up with was based on a Marvel character and was just a futuristic Tom Cruise movie.

I think Cruise would have done the same thing to _Iron Man_ that he did to _The Mummy_ and pushed for the kind of stunts and action sequences that he was used to which would have changed the movie fundamentally. And we all know what happened to the Dark Universe franchise.

It sounds like they based a lot of the setup on his Heroes Reborn origin, where his heart was injured and he entered a "rescue suit" to save his life and then forced to use it in battle. The main difference in Heroes Reborn was that he was injured by, and then had to fight the Hulk during Banner's first transformation.

This iron man movie sounds pretty great tbh

I personally would love to George Clooney as iron man. He is perfect doing the billionaire playboy persona and hes naturally charming. It would be funny if either Brad Pitt or Matt Damon would be cast as a villain maybe justin hammer.

Paul Newman would have been a great Silver Age Iron Man. Maybe Tom Cruise could have a cameo in a multiverse movie.

I love the editing and how it visualises the movie. This could’ve been cool but I’m glad about how Iron Man’s history has gone.

Oh my God can you imagine what Nicolas Cage as Iron Man would be like im excited to see that man just a crazy drunk iron man

I do wonder what could have been, but i don't think they could have found a better Iron man than RDJ. He looks the part, he plays the part better then i think cruise ever could (I love cruise but he's kinda the same guy in most of his movies) I mean there's a part of me that wants the alternate universe version where he starred as ironman, but im happy with what we got.

Seeing Tom Cruise as Ironman would have been interesting especially if Edward Norton stayed on to continue as Bruce Banner and those two would have had good chemistry. But I’m glad RDJ got his comeback with this character. Tom Cruise is just way too good of an actor to be in a superhero franchise and he probably would have wanted to change so many things with the characters, story, and script like he did with the Mummy. So it’s probably for the best we didn’t have him as Ironman.

@@detroitdiezel7856 if you watch some of his earlier videos talking about the Dark universe and why it failed and what we were going to get he explains It. Tom Cruise is one of the most high paid actors in Hollywood and because of it he has a say in how he wants things to go with movies he is in. You can tell because if you watch the Mummy 2017 it was more action packed and less horror. You can imagine if he played Ironman he would have wanted to do the same thing with taking liberties to change certain aspects about the character.

It kinda makes me wonder how they would've adapted MODOK in the 90s. CG still wasn't there yet, and would most likely come off as complicated to pull off his accurate comic design as animatronics. And considering a lot of CMB changed a lot of things from their source material, I feel like they would've completely redesigned him with a very different design in mind.

UPDATE: I had to find the 1997 script just to skim through how he was described. And I found it... "He turns, stiffly. The voice sounds like a man speaking through a hole in his throat. Grotesque:" -- "CLOSE-UP of the FACE FROM THE CORRIDOR. It is rather an ugly face, to be sure; but a relatively normal one, with a pair of eyes, a nose, and a mouth. But then the CAMERA PULLS BACK to reveal that this "normal face" is ENORMOUS: --- MODOK floats above the floor in an ARMORED HOVERING CHAIR designed to support his gigantic head. The sides of the chair rise up encasing his face. His SHRIVELED LEGS hang uselessly above the floor. Only one of his arms seems to be of use CONTROLLING A JOYSTICK that operates the chair. His head must be six-feet from top to bottom and at least four-feet-wide from ear to ear. An ENORMOUS EXPANSE OF HAIR is plastered to his head, looking unwashed, framing a face surrounded by FLESHY-FOLDS OF SICKLY-COLORED SKIN. -- His proportions are similar to a baby's--with his large head and tiny body--but the size of MODOK takes that suggestion and grotesquely warps it to terrifying effect."

5:25 that sound very clishe but damnn so awesome at the same time. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I can imagine RDJ saying that during Ironman 2 in the senate scene: Hydra senator: You are a Stark you created weapons, stop using that armor as super heroe toy. Tony: Tony Stark died in that day in Afganistan selling weapons, now I am Ironman 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

It’s probably gonna come full circle because he should be Iron Man in one of these marvel Multiverse movies!

The CGI in Ant Man 3 was deliberately janky. For 'comedic' effect.

I heard the amazon prime series The Boys was going to be R rated movie directed by Adam McKay If you like you can make a video about that🙌

Iron Man versus MODOK would have been interesting. Maybe one day we could see Tom Cruise as Iron Man in Secret Wars. Him interacting with a RDJ Iron Man variant would be cool.

I think Tom Cruise could have pulled off a pretty decent Tony Stark, but not in the same way (or as good) RDJ did it. I also liked the idea of A.I.M. and M.O.D.O.K. as the villains. It might have a been a pretty cool movie. But you can't argue with the awesomeness that was the Marvel produced Iron Man film. It launched the "Infinity War Saga" which is arguably one of the greatest achievements in movie making history.

"What went wrong?" They didn't go with Nick Cage.

Paul Newman as Tony Stark sounds awesome!

Mr Junior did a pretty good job in the end though, turning a C list minor Marvel character into the main guy, not sure Tom Cruise could have had the same impact!

Its bizarre that modern cinema can be traced to one person, but here it's true.

"Snake, your next mission is to find these 2 script writers." "Script writers?" "Yes, you need to discuss the script for the movie Iron Man we're making." "Iron Man?"

Marvel has made all their movies with actors who weren't bigger than the characters when the movies were made. The MCU and the characters were the stars even if actors like Downey, Evans, Hemsworth, and Bosman made them their own. Cruise would've overshadowed Iron Man. That works for Mission: Impossible because it's stand alone but not the MCU.
