Aw, yeah!

Sam Jackson will be in the upcoming Iron Man movie. His role is yet to be officially announced but we all already know who he'll be. In fact, if he plays anyone else, it'll be a shock. What's with Marvel making mystery announcements when the answers are obvious?
Hilary Swank has also joined the increasingly star-studded cast. No guesses as to who she'll play.

Even fewer are given the chance to be ended by their creators, and done so in the manner they'd always intended.
