Robert Downey Jr's Audition To Play Iron Man Is The Best Thing You'll See This Week
Ahh, 'Endgame'.
IMDb
Well, it looks like the home release of one of the biggest movies of all time is just on the horizon.
Soon, you'll get to add Endgame to your Blu-Ray collections, or whatever you might happen to watch movies on.
They rereleased the whole entire movie (in theatres first), but now with a bunch of bonus footage.
Marvel
Stuff like an introduction from Joe Russo, another scene with the Hulk saving some kids or whatever...
And all sorts of other stuff.
Marvel
However, we're just getting word here at Diply HQ that the home release will feature some... well, more features.
I mean, they've got to give you a reason to buy it besides owning it, right?
One of the featurettes...
Marvel
Answers a question that has been on the minds of fans ever since this whole ordeal started:
Was Robert Downey Jr. always supposed to play billionaire playboy Tony Stark?
I mean...
Marvel
He fits the character so darn well, and you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone else who could've nailed it as hard as he did.
When you think Tony Stark heck, when you think superhero movies, you think RDJ.
But it wasn't always that way.
Marvel
The year was 2001. Sure, Robert Downey Jr. was an actor, however, he was a very, very naughty boy.
He did drugs, he got arrested and finally, after five years of doing so, he had enough.
He went to rehab.
IMDb
And when he got out he went on Oprah to talk about it, as you do and then returned to the big screen with The Singing Detective.
So far, so good comeback wise.
He goes on...
Marvel
To make a bunch of different movies, but none of them were really "Blockbusters".
But that all changed in 2008.
And in 2008, one movie would go on to change Robert Downey Jr's forever.
That movie was 'Iron Man'.
Marvel
But you may be surprised to know that he was not always a shoo-in.
People didn't think he could do it. But one person did.
Despite all of his issues in the past...
Marvel
Jon Favreau wanted Robert Downey Jr to play Tony Stark from the very beginning.
Some people weren't convinced.
Marvel
They're never named, but they will always be remembered by few as the people who almost said no to a groundbreaking performance that would leave a mark on film history.
They put together some screen tests and... well, I guess you could say that the rest is history.
Marvel
Everyone immediately loved the actor and he was cast as the role.
Watch the featurette itself here.
It has a lot of awesome behind the scenes stuff, and if you want a great piece of comic book nostalgia, then take a look.
Just try not to cry.
Here's a question:
Marvel
If Robert Downey Jr. never got back into acting after his career downslide, who do you think would've made a good Tony Stark?
Honestly, probably no one.
