While Terrence Howard (Hustle & Flow) is up for the part of Iron Man with no actual certainty, it's been confirmed that Heath Ledger (Brokeback Mountain) will play the worst villain to hit Gotham City, Joker. Many have speculated that the Oscar nominated actor will fall short of beating Jack Nicholson's portrayal. However, his bone structure and wily demeanor (displayed in 10 things I hate about you and Knight's Tale) vouch for his uncanny resemblance to the maniacal badass. The question is whether he'll play it cooky and deranged like Nicholson did or keep it on the menacing and cryptic side.
It would seem even more unlikely for Howard to be appearing as the Iron Man since he's slated to appear in the comic movie Luke Cage as DiamondBack opposite the star Tyrese Gibson. For those unfamiliar with the tale of Luke Cage, it's a story "about a former gang member who is framed for a crime he didn't commit. In prison, he volunteers for a medical experiment that goes awry, giving him superstrength and bulletproof skin. Using his newfound powers, Luke Cage escapes and becomes a hero for hire."
