Marvel’s Iron Man 3 was one of the most anticipated films of 2013 and now fans are already talking about Iron Man 4. Robert Downey Jr is only contracted for Avengers 2 and 3, however, there might be a new Iron Man in town. Rumor has it that Tony Stark might be handing over the armor to his brother Arno Stark. Spoiler Warning
Marvel’s President of Production, Kevin Feige, recently spoke with Collider about the future of the Iron Man franchise:
“I’ve said it before and it wasn’t negotiating tactics. I believe Tony Stark is as strong a character as Batman. We’re about to head into our fifth or sixth Batman--however, you wanna look at it--James Bond, etc. So, there will absolutely be future Tony Starks and future Iron Mans. Who makes those movies, and when those movies are made, who knows? I don’t know. But, the notion with Robert’s contract in The Avengers 2 & 3, is to allow new characters. Part of what we love about The Avengers is the shifting roster. That’s what’s fun about the comic book movies. You shift them up. So, certainly that was a lot of the thought process that went into it.”
Meanwhile, Mark Wahlberg recently told reporters that he would be interested in taking over the role from Robert Downey Jr:
“I would like to take over the Iron Man franchise for Robert Downey. [But] it’s one of those things where I kind of like playing real people, [so] I’ve never been asked."
However, it might not just be Robert Downey who gets replaced but Tony Stark.
