I Used AI To Recast Popular Superheroes & The Results Are Surprising

Iron Man

Robert Downey Jr. played Iron Man (Tony Stark) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. Iron Man is a fictional superhero character from Marvel Comics. His real name is Tony Stark, and he is a genius inventor, industrialist, and billionaire who uses his wealth and technological prowess to create a suit of powered armor to become a superhero. Iron Man made his first appearance in “Tales of Suspense” #39 in 1963 and has since become one of Marvel’s most popular and recognizable characters, appearing in numerous comic book series, animated TV shows, video games, and live-action films.

AI had a hard time recasting Iron Man

If Marvel Studios ever decides to recast the role of Iron Man in the future, there are many talented actors who could potentially bring the character to life on the big screen. However, it’s important to note that Robert Downey Jr. has become so closely associated with the character that it may be difficult for fans to accept a different actor in the role.

That being said, some actors who could potentially play Iron Man include:

  • John Krasinski
  • Tom Cruise
  • Ryan Gosling
  • Chris Pine
  • Armie Hammer

Here is AI’s interpretation of Tom Cruise as Iron Man.

Scarlett Witch

Scarlet Witch is played by Elizabeth Olsen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Olsen first appeared as the character in the post-credit scene of the film “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” in 2014 and has since reprised the role in several other MCU films, including “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Captain America: Civil War,” “Avengers: Infinity War,” “Avengers: Endgame,” and the Disney+ series “WandaVision.”

AI thinks Emma Watson should play Scarlett Witch

Emma Watson has shown her ability to portray complex emotional range in her past roles, which would be important for playing the emotionally charged character of Scarlet Witch. Emma Watson shares some physical similarities with the Scarlet Witch character from the comics, such as the character’s long brown hair.
