'Iron Man 4' News: Robert Downey Jr. Talks Possibility of Working on Fourth Movie
Ever since "Iron Man 3" took the big screens by fire in April 2013, fans have been wondering if Robert Downey Jr. is still willing to work on the fourth movie in case the project reaches his table and recently, he hinted that he might still be physically up for the challenge.
In a "Captain America: Civil War" set visit, ABC's Nightline asked the fan-favorite what he thinks about the possibility of a fourth installment. "I feel like I could do one more," the actor responded.
Despite the excitement of fans over news that there might be an "Iron Man 4" on the way, Yahoo notes that Downey Jr. has been vague and confusing over the past years regarding his insights on the film.
In 2014, he said they were not planning to work on the much-requested sequel and just a month after the said interview, he seemed to beat around the bush and even joked that he would only take on the project if his friend Mel Gibson was to be the director.
There have been other interviews where he didn't seem too serious as he answered questions about the said film and just last month, the "Avengers" star told U.S.A Today that he sees his most recent venture as "Iron Man 4."
"I don't think that's in the cards," he said, adding that, "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 think we all recognize."
Downey Jr.'s latest comments once again ignited hopes for a possible sequel that would finally end his reign as Tony Stark but until there is no official word from the franchise, fans are encouraged to take his remarks with a grain of salt.
Meanwhile, Iron Man will star in the third "Captain America" alongside Chris Evans (Captain America), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) among others. The film releases on May 6, 2016.
