Robert Downey Jr. Teases ‘Iron Man 4’; See Him Reprise The Role In This Cool CG Short Film
Officially,Robert Downey Jr.isonly contacted to playIron Man one more time. He’s already completed next year’sAvengers: Age of Ultronand then he’ll shootThe Avengers 3, whenever that ends up happening. However, the proposition of anIron Man 4is something the actor has been very coy about. He’s said things thathint he won’t return, thensoftened those statementsconsiderably. With his latest film,The Judge, hitting theaters soon, Downey is once again under fire about his iconic role as Tony Stark and a new quote definitely makes it sound like he’ll return.
And even if he doesn’t, an excellent short film has made its way online that uses his likeness for a whole different kind of Iron Man transition. It’s really cool. Below, hear the new Iron Man 4 Robert Downey Jr quote and see him in a new short film.
First up, courtesy ofthe Hollywood Reporter, here’s Downey responding to the question if he’ll be playing Tony Stark again.
The quote itself is: “I’m sure we’ll ride that thing. You’ve got to surf that all the way in to shore.” Which, of course, doesn’t mean anything specific. It suggests the demand is still there and he’ll continue to satisfy demand as long as he can. But I also think the asking price might start getting too much for Marvel Studios. It’s not an issue that’ll be solved too soon, either. At least not untilAvengers: Age of Ultroncomes out.
If Downey is to return forIron Man 4, this short film could give the writers/director an idea. It actually was uploaded almost a year ago, so a bunch of you may have seen it. But I hadn’t, so I figured it was worth posting. It’s calledIron Man Mark ZbyAnthony McGrathandMark Cushley. Check it out below,via IO9.
Plus, McGrath and Cushley are working on a follow up. Here’s a tease.
Do you like the idea of a car transforming into an Iron Man suit? Will Downey Jr. return for Iron Man 4?
