ROBERT DOWNEY JR. WANTS IRON MAN 4

There is once again talk of Robert Downey Jr. and Iron Man 4.

A few weeks ago saw Robert Downey Jr. mention if they did an Iron Man 4, he would want it to be his swan song where he plays more the villain role.

At the time, Robert Downey Jr. "didn't think it was in the cards," but now things may have changed.

In an featurette/interview with ABC News (watch below) for Captain America: Civil War, Robert Downey Jr. is seen stating, " I feel like I can do one more."

Reportedly, the reason for no Iron Man 4 was due to problems with Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter who didn't want to pay RDJ all the money to star in another solo film. It's possible now that Kevin Feige has ousted Perlmutter and the Marvel creative comics/TV people from any involvement in Marvel Studios, that Robert Downey Jr. may be able to star in Iron Man 4.

Let's hope so.

was that it felt like a "placeholder" before he returned in Avengers. And they were right.

Iron Man is already scheduled to have a major role in the new Captain America movie and it was also recently announced that he is going to be in the next Spiderman movie as well. On top of that there is also not just one but two Avengers movies in the works which means there are already four movies with Iron Man in major roles in the works. Do we really need a fifth?
