Robert Downey Jr. and the future of Iron Man!

I will be discussing the rumors of Robert Downey Jr. leaving his role of Iron Man, and how it may it play out in the future?

We fans love Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man. He is Iron Man no one could replace him! After the events in Iron Man 3, he can still be Iron Man. He is Tony Stark and he can rebuild his Armour and Arc Reactor. He is one of the main Avengers so you couldn't get rid of him.

If Robert Downey Jr. cannot be Iron Man for any reason, then in my personal opinion, they should kill off his character and let him die as a hero rather than recast Tony Stark in Avengers 2 or 3. Fans will be disappointed by a recast. Maybe in the future installments, years after Avengers they may decide to reboot the Iron Man franchise and then a new actor will most likely take the role of Tony Stark.

As much as I love Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man and don't want another actor replace his role as long as Iron Man Movies continue to be released, but don't want to be disappointed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise like any Marvel fan would also.

What do you think should happen if this does become the case one day - hopefully it doesn't!

I'm 99% sure that RDJ will be back for Avengers 2 and 3.

With that said I don't think they will kill him in the third movie. Even if RDJ says he is done with the character, I don't think Marvel will recast. They just need to have another character take over the suit and the title or Iron Man until RDJ wants to return, if he wants to return.

If EDWARD NORTON can be replaced (Shame), anyone can, but hopefully Rob's in it for Avengers 2 & 3!

I think having Tony Stark take a hiatus and have don cheadle fill his shoes as was done in the comics would be completely fine with me

I kust think that marvel is trying to get RDJ for cheaper. Downey will return as long as the Audience want him to. He said that himself. However, he is no fool. RDJ IS the biggest draw in the mcu and he knows it.

The 4 marvel film starring tony stark grossed $4 billion. The 3 films with no RDJ barely grossed $1 billion. Movies starring Downey are responsible for 80% of Marvel Studios revenue....

Dominic Cooper for the recast. NO REBOOT! Even though Cooper did Howard Stark, he can still be the next Tony, to me.
