Our friends over at
Collider.com recently got the opportunity to sit down with actor Don Cheadle and discuss some of his upcoming projects and where things will be headed, as things so often tend to do with actors who previously starred in super-hero flicks, the subject turned to just that where Cheadle reveals that
Iron Man 3 will start shooting in February, a War Machine spinoff is apparently still in the works, and that's he's relieved that he hasn't gotten the call to star in Joss Whedon's
The Avengers.
Q: Are there any future Marvel movies that you might be appearing in?
DC: Well the Iron Man 3 is coming back. We’ll probably do that again in February and there’s talk of a War Machine spinoff, which I guess, unless I get recast, I would probably do.
Q: Will you be in The Avengers?
DC: Not this one that they’re shooting right now. Thank god!
Q: Was that ever in the works?
DC: Me being in The Avengers? I have a contract to be in The Avengers but I’m glad they haven’t exercised that option yet. I need some down time.
