Will Smith’s fan base appears to be as strong as ever following the release of the historical action film Emancipation in 2022. It makes sense to assume that the actor would have lost his appeal after the iconic Oscars slap incident. In Smith’s instance, though, it is entirely the contrary. In terms of exposure, the episode has really worked to his advantage. He gained media attention and increased public awareness as a result. Now, a Redditor shared his thoughts on the ideal selection for Marvel’s next Iron Man in a recent Reddit conversation. And Smith is the only choice available. The actor from Men in Black was formerly a part of DC’s Suicide Squad, but this time he might be in charge of the Marvel universe.

During a recent Reddit debate on the supposed new, improved Iron Man, a user shared his unexpected choice for the ensemble. Rumour has it that a new Iron Man will appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was speculated that the Tony Stark clone might make an appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Naturally, there are a lot of options available. The Reddit member added, “Will Smith is my choice.”

Given his increasing popularity in recent months, it is believed that he could be a wonderful option. Furthermore, Smith is undoubtedly a gifted actor.

But Tom Cruise is also a strong contender to play the new Iron Man. Additionally, Dwayne Johnson might decide to join the Marvel cinematic world. However, at this moment, all that can be said with certainty is how disputed the decision is.

What Do Other People Think of the Idea?

Now that the concept is out, some people have responded to it amusingly or in agreement, while others have rejected it outright. One person agreed and replied,

“If Will Smith never joined the MCU, I would be overjoyed. Jayden as well.

However, a few also joked about it bringing up the notorious Chris Rock-Will Smith slapping incident at the same time. Someone suggested that Rock portray the “Mandarin,” who is Iron Man’s arch-enemy in Marvel comics. Another person made a joke about Rock becoming the multiverse’s new “Thanos.”

Additionally, a few of users disagreed with the concept. “Overrated actor,” wrote one. Thank you, but no. Another person commented, “Boring actor, boring idea,” in a similar vein.

It is evident from this that the conversation won’t finish until the individuals working on the movie make a decision. Fans may only speculate and wait until then.
