On the set of Avengers: Age of Ultron, EW asked Downey point-blank: Does he want to star in an Iron Man 4?
His answer wasnt so point-blank. In fact, he starts to sound a little like a Magic 8-Ball as he tries to keep it vague. But the answer I gleaned was: Signs point to yes.
Its down to Kevin [Feige, Marvel Studios president] and Ike [Perlmutter, CEO of Marvel Entertainment] and Disney to come to us with what the proposal is, and thats on us to agree or disagree, Downey said. When things are going great, theres a lot of agreement.
So far, so good. Each Marvel sequel has outgrossed its predecessor, and Iron Man remains the MVP. And Downey knows it.
Right now, this has just been swell, hasnt it? the actor said with a big smile, during a break in filming on Avengers sequel. This has been a really good one and it feels good and were having a good time.
Until his bosses decide hes too rich for their blood, Downey says hes happy to hold on to the iron mask. Its that thing of: Why give up the belt when it feels like you can barely get jabbed? he saysthen adds a caveat. Most people are saying that right when they get knocked out.
He shrugs, and until Marvel says otherwise, Downey leaves fans with points of ellipses and a grin: The future is, as usual, uncertain.

Sounds like there's a good chance we might get another Iron Man movie with RDJ after all.
