Robert Downey Jr. Won't Be Back for Iron Man 4 But Will Return for The Avengers 2 and 3

Actor Robert Downey Jr. held a private dinner in Los Angeles last night to celebrate the success of Iron Man 3, but also to begin negotiations for The Avengers 2 and The Avengers 3. While the actor is open to returning for the Marvel Phase Two and Three sequels to 2012's Marvel's The Avengers, he does not want to return for the potential stand-alone adventure Iron Man 4.

Back in April, we reported that the actor wanted to "retire" his Tony Stark character, but he didn't leave a timetable as to when he wanted to do so. Iron Man 3 was the last movie that Robert Downey Jr. was obligated to do, under his current contract with Marvel Studios.

Bringing Robert Downey Jr. back under a new contract will likely cost Marvel a pretty penny, since he earned an estimated $50 million from the 2012 blockbuster Marvel's The Avengers, after box office bonuses and back-end compensation.

Dann sollten die die Reihe lieber nicht mehr fortführen, Iron Man ohne Iron Man - das geht nicht. Eine Trilogie ist doch auch eine gute Sache. Teil 3 hat mir ehrlich gesagt auch nicht mehr ganz so gut gefallen wie Teil 1 und 2.
