After reports earlier this week stating that Gary Oldman had visited the set of Iron Man 2(due for release May 7, 2010), his manager has issued the following statement...
"Mr. Oldman did not visit the set of 'Iron Man' and there are currently no plans for him to appear in the film."
It was previously thought that Tim Robbins may portray Tony Stark's father, Howard Stark until he later denied this. Who Gary Oldman may have played is unclear and seemingly irrelevant now that "...there are currently no plans for him to appear in the film."
Gerard Sanders (right) portrayed Howard Stark during a slideshow introducing Tony Stark in Iron Man.
It seems unlikely that Oldman, who played Commissioner James Gordon in both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight and is likely to reprise the role in the next Batman film, would star in both DC and MARVEL films without either company wanting some sort of exclusitivity. However, who do YOU think Gary Oldman could have played in Iron Man 2?
