Robert Downey Jr leads the tributes

As Britain says goodbye to one of its most controversial leaders, tributes have been pouring in from around the world. None more so than Hollywood legend, Robert Downey Jr, who is reportedly beside himself that Margaret Thatcher will not be available to star in the upcoming ‘Iron Man 4’ blockbuster.

After critics pointed out that Sir Ben Kingsley is not ‘fearsome enough’ to be a super villain, film-producers felt the match up of ‘The Iron Man vs The Iron Lady’ would be a spectacle that would rival even the end battle scenes from The Avengers.


It could have been so great

Sadly, with the death of Mrs Thatcher, it looks like that will never happen now. Producers could well use Meryl Streep as a stand-in, but chances are she’s too expensive. One other possibility for a new nemesis to Iron Man would be Ken Livingstone, however the villain ‘Toad’ has already been used in the first ‘X-Men’ film, so Ken may have to stick to public appearances on daytime television and the sewers instead.


Scary, but in a different way
