'Iron Man 4' news: Robert Downey Jr. speaks out on a future for Iron Man
Following Iron Man's latest stint in "Captain America: Civil War," it seems like another solo flight is far from reach for the billionaire superhero.
USA Today recently caught up with actor Robert Downey Jr. to asked him if an Iron Man 4 is underway to which he admitted, "I don't think that's in the cards." The Iron Man actor went on to say, "In a way it's Cap 3, but for me it's like my little Iron Man 4 and then it's back to the thing we all recognize. Everything pulls over to the side of the road when the thunder of an Avengers thing comes through because that's how it is until it changes. If it changes."
Variety also wanted to now what's in store for the Iron Man franchise, to which Downey Jr. replied rather bluntly, "There isn't one in the pipe. No, there's no plan for a fourth Iron Man."
The actor has been playing the character of Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man since 2008, with the films total gross sales roughly around $2.5 billion.
