“Are we finally going to receive confirmation of an “Iron Man 4” next week?
On Wednesday, the film’s star, Robert Downey Jr., teased a “big announcement in 8 days” that has many wondering if another solo movie announcement is on Marvel’s docket.
“You’ve been good so here’s a new #IronMan poster from @Avengers. & on the DL, big announcement in 8 days… #getexcited,” the actor posted to his official Twitter account.
While a “big” announcement would lead you to believe another chapter in the franchise is on the way, RDJ has also proven to be a big tease about an “Iron Man 4” in the past.
Back in October, the actor gave similar hope to fans for a film during an interview with Ellen Degeneres, only to squash their optimism the same day in an interview with David Letterman.
“There’s no plans for an Iron Man 4…There’s no script for Iron Man 4,” Downey Jr. told Letterman. When prodded further about his involvement in the potential film, the 49-year-old said, “Just between us, no. But I’m gonna do other stuff with Marvel. I’m still gonna be involved with Marvel.”
Despite his massive success in the role, RDJ’s comments have leaned more towards him “hanging up” the suit in favor of some fresh faces rather than jumping back in it.
In an earlier interview with Variety, Downey Jr. said that he, along with his “Avengers: Age of Ultron” co-stars, should eventually be replaced by a younger cast.
“The smart money is you have to look at everybody’s age. I’ll put myself at the top of the list. Sooner or later, they’ve got to start over and get somebody young. I’m not there with them yet. It really is the closest thing to being a beloved contract player with a big old-timey studio that there is right now,” he said. “When you really think about it at the end of the day, these films are entertainment largely driven by young folks. There is something very honorable about that. I run into kids wearing “Captain America” masks. My kid believes that Captain America is real.”
Stay tuned.”
What do you think the big surprise will be? We’re hoping for a bigger teaser of the Hulkbuster/ Hulk fight!
