The creators of Smallville spent a year in a pre-Mc Iron Man script with Tom Cruise as Tony Stark

Before Iron Man He kicked off to the Marvel cinema universe and done Robert Downey Jr. Synonym for Tony Stark, the creators of Wednesday they were working on a very different version of the armored avenger, which he could have recited Tom Cruise.

To Gough AND Miles MillarThe duo behind Smallville and Netflix’s Wednesdayrevealed that they have been approached to write a Iron Man Script shortly after their work on Spider-Man 2.

“[Marvel Studios founder] Avi Arad He had come to us later [we wrote the story on] Spider-Man 2“Gough recalled in an interview with Happy Sad Confused.

“After Spider-Man 2They say: “Guys, we have another jewel of the crown – which is Iron Man”, added Millar.

At that time, Iron Man It was not part of a Juggernaut from billions of dollars. Marvel Studios was still in his first days and the rights of the film were actually with New Line Cinema, not Marvel, more or less the same way that Sony still holds the rights Spider-man.

Gough admitted: “To be honest with you, I hadn’t heard of Iron Man. Avi said: ‘Perfect. Here is what it is: it’s a billionaire who sells weapons, it has a problem with alcohol. There has been an accident, now she is trying to make it work, make it better.'”

The couple immersed himself and worked on several drafts over the course of a year. “We entered Kevin [Feige] and avi, and I guess [New Line Cinema founder Robert Shaye] I had read. It is an interesting thing with generations trying to connect again with what is a superhero.

“We connected everything that Iron Man could fly, because Superman could fly … We all left the encounter as,” we don’t think this will happen here. “

In the end, Marvel recovered the rights, Downey Jr. gave birth to Stark and MCU was born. But according to Millar, the vision of New Line for the role was very different.

“They wanted Tom Cruise and I think Cruise was interested,” he revealed.

It is still wild imagining an alternative Marvel temporal sequence in which the cruise adapted to the red and gold armor before the MCU existed.
