I am sure when Marvel replaces Iron Man actor, we will be seeing a lousy version of Iron Man also. Sometimes cannot always compare to others because some act cannot be topped.

People tend to forget it took Marvel almost 5 films before they get the blockbuster breaking box office records in The Avengers.

First film: Iron Man, pretty great to many people, but there are also plenty of people didn't like it. Sure RT has high rating but the film only ranks #8 in top #10 of the year, and The Dark Knight has earn twice that amount this film has earned in 2008.

2nd film: The Incredible Hulk, not even in top #10. Plenty of people did not like it even though it was a fine film. It made only 263 millions on a budget of 150 millions. It was so unsuccessful Marvel has decided the market for Hulk is too risky and never produce another solo film since.

3rd film: Iron Man 2, many people thought this film is inferior to the first Iron Man.

4th film: Thor. It earned less than the first Iron Man. And many people think the plot is too simplistic. It did not make it to top 10 of the year.

5th film: Captain America the First Avenger. It performed worse than Thor.

It takes time for an extended universe to gain momentum. It is too early to consider DC has failed because it takes time for the characters to take root. Just consider Suicide Squad is similar to The Incredible Hulk. If Suicide Squad ends up earning more than 263 millions, it is already more successful than Marvel 2nd movie.

Nah iron man already perfect. cannot replace perfection.

According to this report, Jared Leto scenes were cut in order to portray him to be a better person. Apparently he rather to be a total jerk and psycho on film though.

1) Scenes which he is abusive and murderous towards Harley were cut and reshot
2) Scenes showing him being a selfish jerk was cut

Also many scenes portraying the squad team members as bad persons are cut, which are what the audience apparently want to see more of.
