5. Tom Cruise: Iron Man

Of all the stars who almost got the part, we’re most grateful for this one. Tom Cruise was originally set to be the producer and star of Iron Man in the early 2000s. Cruise was set to play Tony Stark and his heroic alter ego. Luckily, Tom Cruise didn’t think the script was strong enough and Robert Downey Jr. was hired. We think Downey Jr. was the better choice anyways.
