Damn, son. Robert Downey Jr.’s summer is going so great that he’s even appearing in other people’s blockbusters. It was already common knowledge (to movie and comic geeks at least) that Downey had a cameo as Tony Stark in next week’s THE INCREDIBLE HULK, but here is the proof. The latest HULK TV spot opens with General Ross (William Hurt) and Stark—who could be in either pre or post Iron Man mode. Sure IRON MAN is the hit of the summer so far (sorry Indy) but did the studio have to go and ruin one of the movie’s wink-wink surprises by showing us Downey too early? I’ve never seen a studio promote a “secret” cameo like this before. Now that Downey is hotter than something that’s really hot, they’re taking advantage of it. I wonder how many extra tickets will be bought because “oh my God, it’s Iron Man!” My guess? None.

Extra Tidbit: So is in the film, is Tony Stark already Iron Man?

I'd say that he is Iron Man. There are rumors that it's more than just a quick cameo.

Vin Diesel's "secret cameo" in Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift was revealed by the ad people. So it's been done before. But it's still stupid IMO.

Yeah, I saw this during the NBA Finals last night and was shocked. I couldn't believe they showed the cameo! I was pretty excited trying to figure out how he was going to pop up. Would rather have seen it in the theater. Oh well, can't wait for the Hulk!

I cant wait for the new hulk! i think it will be great. (ive said it before, even if its 1% better then the last one id be happy) As for the no ticket sales because of Downey i know a lot of people going to see it now (giving it their second chance) now they heard iron man makes a cameo.

I bet
I bet My MOTHER IN LAW..that he is already iron man at this point. I get the feeling its like they maybe called him in to deal wiht the Hulk problem and he eventually refuses or thinks of using him for the Avengers.



Needless to say i hope I am wrong for obvious reasons but thats the inital eeling i get.

Eh, it's a nice nod, even in a promo. I saw it last night and thought it funny, tongue in cheek. A nod, that's all. And maybe it's, as someone pointed out to me, a nod to all fanboy folks? Hm?



And, just for the record: Hulk won't "need" to pander all whorelike to sell tickets. It'll do just fine by itself, I do bet.



Oh, and WTF is up with the annoying pop ups...

Oh, and WTF is up with the annoying pop ups on every single page? Wow. I love Angie as much as the next person, but I don't need her face on every page peeking out at me.

Well, considering the line: "You should talk," I'm thinking that yes, he is Iron Man. But, being the first to post, I'm probably wrong.
