Here’s what he had to say about his Iron Man future…
Robert Downey Jr on his Iron Man future? How long will be play the role for Marvel Studios?
“It’s this cyclical thing. I could have said when the first Avengers came out: ‘It’s never going to get any better than that. Everybody stop.’ But to me it’s always about people and opportunities, like the (Avengers directors Anthony and Joe) Russos, who I adore.”
The actor continued:
“Everyone says to me it’s like a glove that fits so well. I have to start over every time but I am starting over with a pretty solid base. I just never want to blow it for the last six or seven (MCU movies) I have done by dropping the ball because I decided to go do it one more time. I just want to hang up my jersey before it’s embarrassing.”
Whatever Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man future is, we know we’ll be seeing him on the big screen for the foreseeable future – in next year’s ensemble Avengers: Infinity War, and its sequel the following year.
