Same thing with Michael Keaton as Batman. He was still Mr Mom at that point.

I came here to post this. I remember someone insisting it was like casting Gary Coleman as Two-Face.

Although the response wasn’t as strong, there were fans who were also convinced that Robert Downey Jr. was a poor fit for Tony Stark.

  Iron man was a hail mary by Marvel. Their IP was failing. RDJ was a lucky casting. Given where he was at at the time he was a pretty risky pick. Marvel didn’t really have the budget to be too picky at the time.
  
  There’s a reason Spiderman is owned by sony and the hulk by universal.

    And FF and X-Men by Fox before their acquisition.
