Speculation about Tom Cruise playing Iron Man in the MCU has run rampant for years, with the actor’s reasoning for passing the role finally revealed.
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Since 2008 and the release of Iron Man, rumors of Tom Cruise playing the titular role have been spread, with the reason behind Robert Downey Jr. taking the role instead finally being revealed 15 years later.
That said, MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios - a book written by Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzales, and Gavin Edwards - has finally revealed the reasoning behind Cruise not being a part of the franchise. The book delves deep into the inner workings of the MCU over the last two decades or so, including the reason why Robert Downey Jr. was picked as Iron Man over Cruise:
“Ten years earlier, when the Iron Man rights were at 20th Century Fox, Tom Cruise, then thirty-four, had flirted with the idea of playing Stark... According to Feige, however, Cruise’s asking fee at the time was more than even a profitable studio like Fox was willing to risk on an untested superhero property.”
As it turns out, the absence of Cruise as Tony Stark revolved entirely around a pay dispute. Before the acquisition of the MCU by Disney, the franchise did not have a benefactor willing to provide the money needed to hire an A-list star like Cruise. This led to Downey Jr. being hired who, given his personal issues prior to the release of Iron Man, was less of a cost yet more of a risk than Cruise, a risk that entirely paid off for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
