who did jeff bridges play in iron man?
obadiah stane
additional casting for the film occurred over the next few months: terrence howard was announced in the role of stark's best friend jim rhodes in october 2006; gwyneth paltrow was cast as love interest virginia "pepper" potts in january 2007; and jeff bridges was cast in an undisclosed role in february. choosing a character to be the villain of the film was difficult, as favreau felt iron man's archnemesis the mandarin would not feel realistic, especially after mark millar gave his opinion on the script. he felt only in a sequel, with an altered tone, would the fantasy of the mandarin's rings be appropriate. the decision to push him into the background is comparable to sauron in "the lord of the rings", or palpatine in "star wars". favreau also wanted iron man to face a giant enemy. the switch from mandarin to obadiah stane was done after bridges was cast in that role, with stane originally intended to become a villain in the sequel. the crimson dynamo was also a villain in early drafts of the script. favreau felt it was important to include intentional inside references for fans of the comics, such as giving the two fighter jets that attack iron man the call signs of "whiplash 1" and "whiplash 2", a reference to the comic book villain whiplash, and including captain america's shield in stark's workshop.
