Will "Iron Man" be Marvel's answer to Christopher Guest? The film that stars Robert Downey Jr. and Terrence Howard could wind up being a superhero "Spinal Tap," revealed veteran actor Jeff Bridges, who told MTV News that director Jon Favreau was encouraging his cast to ad-lib.
"We were talking about improvisation in ["Surf's Up"]; well, we're doing a lot of improvisation in 'Iron Man' to discover scenes and get off the written page and doing a lot of work like that," Bridges, who plays Obadiah Stane, divulged. "I know Jon is very interested in grounding it as much in reality as he possibly can. The suit for instance, the first suit, it looks like, 'Oh yeah, maybe that could happen.' It's all possible."
But will Bridges himself get to wear it? In the comics, Obadiah turns from mentor to enemy, ultimately donning the armor to become the villainous Iron Monger. "I might, I might," he answered when asked if he was going to get to wear the suit. "But, on the other hand," he said quickly after, with a wide grin across his face, "I don't want to spoil it for the viewers."
