In a interview with our friends over at Digital Spy, Robert Downey Jr. was finally asked outright whether or not he will return as Tony Stark/Iron Man in a future Marvel Studios movie. Gwyneth Paltrow recently revealed that she believes he's in talks to return, but the actor refused to commit when talking to the site. "I just don't know. I'm having a good time, you know what I mean? I just dislike it when people say one thing and then do something else. I don't know why, I'm a stickler for it." Considering the fact that he was paid $50 million for The Avengers, you would think Downey would have signed on the dotted line long ago. However, he clearly has an interest in pursuing some other projects and says he has mixed feelings about making another commitment. "Today, I would say I'd be happy to continue and I'd be a little nervous and a little depressed, but I would capitalise on not doing it too." Personally, I would guess that if he is coming back, we'll first hear about it at this year's San Diego Comic Con. What do you guys think?
Marvel Studios’ Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?
