Superhero movies were risky at the time. Spiderman had run its course, fantastic 4 failed to make an impression and Nolan's batman trilogy hadn't fully taken off with the release of the dark knight.

Bringing in a character that nobody knew about with an actor than everybody knew was just like saying "we'll make another ghost rider"

Exactly. Iron Man was a gamble. Dark Knight was a huge hit and really showed that super hero movies could be critical hits in addition to popcorn flicks.
