This could be ugly.....or very very beautiful.

Hmm.

I could see this working well if the film puts a focus on Stark's alcoholism woes.  I can't think of a better actor who could use their first-hand knowledge to portray such a dependency.  But...that doesn't strike me as something that would happen in an initial Iron Man film.  Maybe a sequel, but not the first film.

I really hope they don't fuck it up.  Iron Man's my favorite Marvel hero, by far.  I even like the Ultimate version. :P
