Marvel calls Tony Stark back home after New Line failed to construct their IRON MAN!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with some interesting tidbits on the progress of an IRON MAN movie. New Line had the rights and if you remember there was a lot of talk about Tom Cruise starring as Tony Stark for a long while. That floundered and now it seems that Marvel has gotten the rights back and is putting it high up on their production slate. I never followed IRON MAN as a series, but damned if I don't love the character and the design of the suit (classic design especially). I think a fantastic spectacle of a movie could be made out of the character and can't wait to see it done right, myself. What about you folks?
