  1. And then they’ll give it to him. Hollywood is run by superhuman idiots.

  5. I don’t have hope for the superhero genre to get any better. I think it’s dying more or less, there just ain’t anything fun anymore about the movies as a whole. It’s more than obvious that they’re pumping them out rather than just making a coherent plot. I wanna watch Echo because I hear it’s good but that’s the first time I’ve heard a solid response to a marvel title in a while.

    I’m not hoping for them to die by any means it just doesn’t have the same pizazz to me as it did.

  6. Rob Lowe just wants them to do a sequel to *The Specials* (2000) so he can get back on the superhero train again!

  7. They need to focus on making sure X-men is fully dialed in.

  8. But Marvel didn’t fucked Iron Man story, why would RDJ come back?

  9. Superhero movies tend to be a lot better when it’s not about 10+ main characters “saving the world.” A great example of this is “Logan”. Give us more stories that are real and focus on a singular person/relationship.

  10. Marvel fucked up by making too much content that has to be followed in order to understand the cameo/character appearance in the first act of the new movie. Also by moving away from what worked which was a big overall arc to conclude after several years.

    If after End Game they took 3-5 years off to flesh out a new 8-10 year story arc with Kang/Galactus/Dr Doom as the main villain, that would have worked better.

  11. Marvel has been fucking things up but one of the things they did nearly perfectly was Iron Man. There is no need to bring Iron Man back right now or anytime soon…especially the Tony Stark iron man. Maybe a different character can take up the Iron Man name. I don’t think RDJ is even interested in it at this point. He has fuck you money and is going to win an Oscar for Oppenheimer.

  12. Brah, Iron Man’s story is done. Don’t bring him back. That would ruin his sacrifice.

  13. Marvel movies basically absorbed RDJ’s personality/humor and made it their brand.

  14. How do you mess up the MCU even further? By bringing back RDJ.

  15. That would be a terrible movie. Oppenheimer just reminded the audiences that RDJ isn’t just Iron Man, he’s a very good actor and he should keep playing in movies that use him well instead of saying “hey you’re Tony Stark, go be Tony Stark”.

  18. I love Rob Lowe more now for saying this and it’s fun to see these two actors are still good friends. I’m glad he’s calling out Marvel Studios for how they dropped in quality in recent years. Calling back RDJ would be a desperate attempt and the studio needs to focus on quality stories.

  20. For some reason (probably because they’re both recovering addicts who had a career renaissance) I’ve always sort of put Rob Lowe and RDJ together in my mind.

  21. It’s an easy fix, make movies that just happen to feature superheros instead of making “superhero” movies.

  22. For those that didn’t read it or listen to it, the tone was much lighter than the headline implies.

  24. Plus the way they have to keep “raising the stakes.” Movie 1: City in Danger. Movie 2: Earth in Danger. Movie 3: All of the reality, the multiverse, all timelines and every other dimension in danger!

  25. I agree with Rob Lowe. Bring RDJ back baby! Marvel can turn this thing around

  26. I don’t trust this generation of Marvel to make another Iron Man.

  28. Fans don’t even need to have Iron Man back. Marvel just needs to fill in the voids left by those characters. So far it’s just continuing with the B team Avengers and introduce C level characters on Disney+ with barely any momentum going forward. Even if they do have a nice new addition there’s no idea about their future.

  29. We don’t need anymore Ironman.

    Tony is dead, sure he can come back but why???

    ​

    ​

    We need Marvel’s First Family, Dr Doo & The X-Men

    And it’s happening!

  30. Comic book movies work best when there’s more ‘movie’ than ‘comic’.

  31. The same company who brought palpatine back for sure will bring back Ironman at some point. It all depends on when RDJ needs a new house.

  32. Gosh, RDJ must have earned at least $200m from his deals with Marvel. Unfortunately, once you sign a Marvel contract, you’re their bitch for however long it takes, and money can’t buy back years of life lost working for them, however lucrative. RDJ gave at least ten years of his life to Marvel.
