| I wanted to get thoughts on this. Personally I’m skeptical at best. The Eternals got some big names (Angelina, Salma) and that movie fell flat for me. Marvel seems to be going from bigger characters and arguably lesser known actors to lesser known characters and big name actors. I’m not a fan. And while yes RDJ is a big name, Iron Man resurrected his career a bit. That’s my 2 cents. |

| Tom Cruise was and is a much bigger name than RDJ (including RDJ post MCU). They (Disney) are seeing some issues with Box Office on their latest string of films, in particular given their budgets and likely less visible “back end” costs. Tom Cruise, whatever views are on his personal life, is a very capable actor and huge box office pull. That said, the MCU has become so Disneyfied and boring that I don’t think even Cruise can save it from its continued decline. The next Strange movie will probably be a dead cat bounce with a strong Box Office (if only due to the MV angle) followed by a string of disappointments… |

| I heard cruise was originally offered the role of Tony stark but turned it down. He's rumored to play superior Ironman in strange 2 | ||

| If Cruise can play Reacher then my guess is he will be Colossus when they bring in the X-Men!! | ||

| Years ago.early mid 1990s Cruise was considered to do iron man. Marvel went bankrupt. The rest is history. | ||

| i remember there were those who theorized he'd be in Multiverse of Madness as an Iron Man variant...especially for the Illuminati. reasoning was...he was almost cast as Iron Man but who could he play? Wolverine? Puck (as some joked)? a villain? |

| Back in the day they summed up all his performances to be clones of top gun. Hot shot so and so comes out on top.... But to be honest a lot if Hollywood actors are like that. Will Smith is one of the worst.... |

| Certain actors have scripts written with that actor in mind. Tom Cruise and Nick Cage both come to mind. They don't stray far from their successful formula. That could work for the MCU since every movie is pretty much the same. People like the familiar. Edit: Tom Cruise is short. He could play Puck or Pip. He's pretty much a dwarf amongst midgets. |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

But I wished Tom Cruise would have just left her in his house, or in the basement, or in the car or eventually just thrown her off a building or something." |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte Your friend just won Best Actor. Maybe he truly is up there with some more recent winners, Daniel Day Lewis and Gary Oldman. Looking at some past winners, I suppose it isn't all that surprising, Leonardo Dicaprio, who I can't stand, has won one as well. |

| @flanders I didnt watch his film that he won the award fir, but I can imagine him yelling, "now that's what I'm talking about!" In every film I can recall seeing with him he is the angry dude that is the hotshot or best at whatever the film happens to be. I like some of his stuff, but if you are going for dynamic range of acting, look elsewhere..... |
