Bad news, "Iron Man" fans. Actor Robert Downey Jr. says it's unlikely there will be a fourth "Iron Man" film.
Speaking to USA Today on the set of the upcoming "Captain America: Civil War," he told the publication: "I don’t think that’s in the cards."
Downey debuted as fictional billionaire Tony Stark in the very first Marvel Cinematic Universe film, "Iron Man," back in 2008. Since then, the MCU has grown to 13 films, including huge box office smashes "Guardians of the Galaxy," "Avengers: Age of Ultron," and "Ant-Man."
Downey says to him, "Civil War" feels a bit like an "Iron Man" sequel.
"In a way it’s 'Cap 3' but for me it’s like my little 'Iron Man 4' and then it's back to the thing we all recognize," he explained. "Everything pulls over to the side of the road when the thunder of an 'Avengers' thing comes through because that’s how it is until it changes. If it changes."
The next two "Avengers" films are set for 2018 and 2019 releases, but in the meantime, we'll see Downey co-star alongside Chris Evans when "Captain America: Civil War" hits theaters May 6.
