Robert Downey Jr. On IRON MAN 4-Mel Gibson Remark; 'Marvel Roster Coming Sooner Than Later'

In a 14-second video, the Avengers: Age of Ultron star displays his sense of humor to those who believed he would only do Iron Man 4 if Mel Gibson directs, by revealing another contender and more.

Over the weekend, Robert Downey Jr. took part in an interview with the infamous Deadline for his new drama film, The Judge. And during the lengthy Q&A, the Iron Man star was asked if he would return as Marvel's Armored Avenger in a fourth solo movie if his friend Mel Gibson were to claim the director's chair, to which Downey said yes. Well, considering many sites took his Mel Gibson campaigning seriously, the actor has since  poked fun by tweeting that his friend has turned down the Iron Man 4 directing gig, and posting a video in which he reveals another unlikely candidate.

"It was an offhanded remark to a journalist and friend," Robert Downey Jr. said of the Gibson joke later during a Reddit Q&A. "I have other projects in mind for Mel and I - sooner than later the Marvel Roster will be made public and all questions will be answered." What do you think?

That's too bad Mel Gibson could have made a remarkable Iron Man movie. He could make a really cool comic book movie. Hopefully Disney or Warner Brothers will allow him to work on one in the future.

Martin Scorsese only directs movies with really hardcore well written source material. So He actually might do a comic book but my reasoning that he wouldn't is he doesn't want the shots already drawn out for him. History of Violence or Road To perdition were a couple he might have directed if they'd have ever been offered to him.

I never took his Mel Gibson remark seriously. I can't see how anyone thought it was real. So no big deal.

Iron Man 4? Nope.. Nadda...
We already have 2 lackluster sequels from this franchise.

and RDJ needs to go to rehab once again.

Well after the piece of shit that was Iron Man 3... I really don't want or need an Iron Man 4. The only good Iron Man is the 1st one, I don't hate the 2nd one like most people but it's still a piece of shit.

@jCamer0n Well I would not say he needs to go back to rehab... lol that does not make since bro.

But I just think Marvel needs to reboot Iron Man and make better Iron Man movies. The only good Iron Man movie is the 1st the other 2 suck [frick]ing monkey balls.
