Iron Man 4 may be stretching the franchise a bit.
While all previous Iron Man films were huge hits, it seems the Marvel universe might have simply moved on from Tony Stark and his antics.
In an interview with USA Today, Robert Downey, Jr. said that he sort of considers Captain America: Civil War his Iron Man 4.
When asked about the possibility of an Iron Man 4, he said, “I don’t think that’s in the cards.”
He said of the upcoming Civil War movie, “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.”
It’s true. The promise of Avengers always works to get people in the seats. Always.
While Robert Downey Jr.‘s Iron Man franchise days may be over, he did reveal how much he admired about The Guardians of the Galaxy franchise and the course it’s taking under the direction of James Gunn.
He said, “Gunn spun everything in a whole other different way where it’s like, wow, without even trying to, that took a little bit of the real estate out of some tonal stuff we were doing so we don’t want to fight that.”
He added, “We want to give way to that. We want to yield to that kind of powerful dynamic that they created and just go, ‘Hey, that’s great. You know what, we’re going to widen the track here and we’re going to stay in this lane, and then we’ll see when it’s time to switch lanes again.'”
Do you think there could easily be another Iron Man movie?
