Robert Downey Jnr. Will Return As Iron Man
Robert Downey Jnr.’s Iron Man contract expired after the latest Tony Stark instalment in the Marvel universe with Iron Man 3. While that film has now become the fifth biggest grossing film of all time, behind Avatar, Titanic, Avengers and Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2, there had been concerns that it would be the final time we saw Downey Jnr. don the red suit. But Marvel has now revealed that the man who has become synonymous with the Marvel brand and success will indeed return for Avengers 2 and 3. Downey Jnr. had hinted that it might be time to throw in the iron towel but it seems that negotiations have convinced him otherwise. It will come as a huge relief to fans but none more so than Avengers director Joss Whedon who recently stated that Downey Jnr. “is Iron Man”. Before he gears up for Avengers 2’s May 2015 release date Downey Jnr. will appear in The Judge and Chef for his original Iron Man director Jon Favreau. Source – Marvel.com via Twitter
