Here’s Your Iron Man Cast

Entertainment Weekly just released the cast picture for next summer’s Iron Man. The line-up shows us Robert Downey Jr. as wealthy weapon-maker Tony Stark, Gwyneth Paltrow as his administrator Pepper Potts, Terence Howard as his buddy/bodyguard (and later War Machine) Jim Rhodes, and a clean-headed Jeff Bridges as mentor (and villain?) Obadiah Stane. Those of us who remember Stane’s character from Card’s Ultimate Iron Man storyline know how truly evil this character can get, and I can’t wait!

The movie, directed by Jon Favreau, drops next May, so expect to see more promotional pictures to come.
