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?

Early reviews suggest it's a cracker, looking forward to it. I suspect he'll be in Avengers 2 but wouldn't be surprised if we've seen the last of solo Iron Man films (until they reboot it all in 10 years!).

Galactus meant it if it's been released already
This movie (obviously) hasn't been released yet so that was not cool

He's probably playing the mistery card and this way Marvel could end paying more even more money, to keep their biggest star. Good move, I guess

But it would be common courtesy to warn the rest of us when you're placing a spoiler like that

Whats up with this site lately. People hate something so much that they have to spoil it for everyone else. Personally I dont care, one way or the other, but it is still a dick move. Trolling at its finest here at CBM.com. So many attention whores, and not enough dick to feed them all.

I still think RDJ should come back for the avengers movies, but no more IM movies until way down the line. He needs a break, and we need space to have some other heroes appear in the mcu. Even if they dont appear in the avengers movies, I want marvel to diversify its stable off heroes. Some street level heroes would be nice. Get that cosmic side going strong, and we could really see some great things.

@futurepast Dude you are the biggest douche on this site. GTFO and stop spoiling things for people. Go cry in a corner about how Shane black ruined your pathetic life and leave us sane people alone. I don't want to read your problems or your spoilers.

FuturePast is my nominee for troll of the month. Wanker. See you after your ban, a-hole.

You idiots who are spoiling parts of the movie, especially if you haven't even seen it yourself, in threads that are non related to spoilers should get banned. That's really silly. Go rant in a spoiler thread. I have heard multiple people say they don't want to be spoiled yet you idiots go into every non related thread and try to ruin it for others.

Again, many of the people who are posting spoilers are all but admitting they haven't even seen the movie. But they keep crying about it. They are either DC trolls or purist trolls or just outright trolls. Whatever you are, just stop it all ready!

*scratches head*...Is this somekind of new thing now, spoiling movies in comments sections? I don't remember stuff like this happening on this site before.

@ParisSun Preach!!! Exactly my thoughts!

Now back on topic.

I would not be surprised if RDJ is done with IM movies. I do expect he'll have the money truck back up to his door and we will see him in full glory in Avengers 2 and maybe a hero walk into the sunset in Avengers 3. I really believe we are going to see a mix up with the cast by Avengers 3. I think all the actors are going to be a bit burned out after the many movies they have been in with these characters.

How many times has Dame Judy played M? Granted, I can see an actor getting tired of a role but come on. That's a huge role.

@futurepast Oh no!! You and your "friends" are boycotting the movie! What ever will Marvel and Shane Black do without your 10 dollars! I hope the movie doesn't go belly up now. Please reconsider, I dont want Marvel to go out of business!
