News travels fast because what I am about to report was posted a two film sites. This weekend at a recent press junket for Soul Men; Samuel L. Jackson confirmed he was asked to be in Iron Man 2.
Jackson said he spoke with the director, Jon Favreau, who told him he was in the sequel.
No word, though, on who, what or how the role would be, but Jackson joked about making sure he gets a contract after what happened to Terrence Howard.
Somebody from Dreamworks whispered in IESB.net’s ear and told them that Shrek #4director Mike Mitchell, who is a Tom Cruise fan, hopes to use the mega star’s voice for the villain.
This is awesome news. He was hilarious in Tropic Thunder.
I believe, Tom Cruise last voice over was some time ago for a Saturday morning cartoon show about saving the environment.
