Robert Downey Jr. gave a definite "yes" to the question whether "Iron Man 4" would be made. In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, the actor confirmed that he was in the middle of negotiations to return to the profitable franchise.
Downey Jr. has been keeping "Iron Man" fans' spirit up and down regarding the development of the latest movie. Just last month he said at Toronto Film Festival that "Iron Man 4" was not in the cards and that "there isn't one in the pipe." But the actor had been saying since July that he would love to reprise the role when "things are going great" and "there's a lot of agreement."
It looks like the development is moving fast. During his appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to promote his latest film "The Judge", Downey Jr. was asked point blank whether there would be the fourth "Iron Man" film.
He played it coy at first, saying, "I know, there's gonna be a bunch of Marvel movies and they have big ideas on how to do it best." The actor then dropped the bomb, saying, "We're in the middle of negotiations". But DeGeneres was not satisfied with his vague hints and asked, "So yes?" He replied, "Okay, yes."
Just last week Downey Jr. was talking about "Iron Man" as well. He said he would love to reprise the superhero role if his buddy Mel Gibson directs it. "Why not? That movie would be bananas," he quipped.
