Iron Man &
Iron Man 2 star Robert Downey Jr. will be the first to admit that he is out of touch with Marvel characters outside of Tony Stark's close circle of friends and enemies. In an interview with MTV News, Downey expanded on that point:
"I'm the expert on me and Tony and Iron Man and that story, [but] once it starts intersecting with the other stuff, I start losing track," Downey said last weekend.
"Thankfully, there are experts." Regarding the likelihood of an
Iron Man 3 movie announcement in the near future, Downey seemed hopeful,
"I think it's going to go down. I know 'Avengers' is supposedly first on their docket, and we'll see how all that pans out sooner rather than later."
"I have some pretty strong ideas [for 'Iron Man 3'], but they never seem to be too discordant with what the creative execs at Marvel are thinking anyways," he said.
Where does he get his inspiration for the story ideas? From the comics, of course. That should be evident to fans of the Iron Man films, since many plot points were taken directly from the books.
"There's a little bit of a bunch of different storylines from different decades. I always feel like — just like with 'Sherlock Holmes,' you're not going to do any better than you will looking back at [Arthur Conan] Doyle's stories."
