WTF? Robert Downey Jr. Now Says No To IRON MAN 4 But Yes To More Marvel Movies

Is Robert Downey Jr. just messing with us all as he continues to promote The Judge? After confirming Iron Man 4 is moving ahead earlier today, the actor now says that movie isn't happening but he does have plans to work with Marvel on other releases...

Earlier today, Robert Downey Jr.'s "confirmed" that Iron Man 4 is moving ahead. It's not a story that just a handful of sites picked up on either as even the big boys at trades like The Hollywood Reporter and The Wrap ran stories which declared the movie as a sure thing. Perhaps not!

Talking to David Letterman tonight, the actor said, "There's no plans for an Iron Man 4. There's no script for Iron Man 4, but they do have a plan and I think they're going to announce it...they've very secretive about it." Downey Jr.'s comments can be heard in full by watching the video below, but the host continued to push for details and got the following response when he asked again if it's happening. "Just between us, no, but I'm going to do other stuff with Marvel. I'm still going to be involved with Marvel and there's gonna be plenty of fun stuff to happen." The Judge star's contact only includes one more Avengers movie, so whether he's referring to that or something more remains to be seen. It's rare to get so many conflicting reports...from the star of the movie itself! 

Who wants to bet that he's just f***ing with us all to get extra eyes on The Judge this weekend?

IMO this is good news, it shows Tony is still gonna be involved and around in the MCU but just no more solo films...Doesnt mean he wont co-star or cameo in other films, I like the idea :]

Cap 3: avengers civil war. After age of ultron, cap is pissed off with tony for cheating ultron without telling anyone. Cap splits and creates his own team of avengers. They don't follow the exact storyline from civil war but have a throw down with cap and tony.
Then for avengers 3 it's about the two teams coming together to stop Thanos.

"But whatever he does in the MCU is good news.
What if he switched roles w/ Scarlett Jo?

Stark feels like an asshole for creating Ultron and indirectly killing thousands of people. He starts drafting the Superhero Registration Act in the AOU after credits scene. Stark appears in future movies lobbying for the SRA.

does anyone even know what his original contract stipulated? like how many movies did he sign on for?
so far we have 3 ironman solo outings an 1 avengers film with another in the can waiting for release, putting the total so far at 5.
was the contract for 6 films (the eventual avengers 3?)
why do i seem to recall someone signing on for like 9 movies? was that sam jackson?
and did RDJ's cameo in the hulk count as one?

can someone clarify, i tried to google it but all that comes up is the latest IM4 hoopla

You think my boy RDJ was joking?

BTW i could see him join the guardians team after avengers 3, that would b dope, it would put him in the mix without the need for him to be front and center while following the current comics run.
or even as a cameo/second string presence in any future marvel film centering on a different hero ala cap 3 thor 3 or antman and doc strange.
