Okay... maybe Marvel realizes that that's such a potentially powerful story, in
and of itself, that they're consciously holding it back, knowing that nothing's
likely to top it.

Iron Man Is Not A Drunk

With most superheroes the things you look forward to most usually involve
who they're going to fight next or what super power the newest movie will
show off. When it comes to Iron Man
http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif, the thing I've
most been looking forward to is seeing Tony Stark drunk.
One of the things that sets Iron Man apart from his comic book competitors
is his battle with addiction. Iron Man is an alcoholic and if you saw Tony
guzzling scotch then you probably thought of a future in which he might
actually have to face those boozy demons. It's even better since Tony Stark
is played by Robert Downey Jr.

had his own real life struggle with addiction. It needs to happen, I want it
to happen, it would be a brand new, unexplored page in the by now overdone
superhero genre if it did happen; but it's not happening.
MTV
n-in-a-bottle-storyline-reveals-robert-downey-jr/> caught up with Robert
Downey out promoting The Soloist, and got him talking Iron Man 2. When asked
if they'd explore "Demon in a Bottle", the alcoholism storyline in the
comics, during the course of the next film, Downey responded, "Not really.
As a matter of fact, I think that's probably best saved," he says, "because
it's such its own storyline."
So maybe we'll get it in another Iron Man movie down the road. That's fine,
except the thing is they have Robert Downey Jr
http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif. right now and
who knows if they'll still have him for Iron Man 4 or whenever the heck they
get around do it. This is the role Robert Downey was born to play, I'd hate
to see him finish his run as Iron Man without tackling it.
