But little do we know that the role of Iron Man a.k.a Tony Stark was almost given to Tom Cruise. Can you even imagine that? That Iron Man was not Robert Downey Jr. but someone else? The production team of Iron Man used to be reluctant to consider starring Robert on the role of Tony Stark because he had quite a controversial past. However, director Jon Favreau was the one who fought for Robert, and he was finally offered the role. This might be the wisest decision that was ever made.
