Marvel fans will still be able to watch Tony Stark in the big screen, but as to the question of whether or not there will be Iron Man 4 or not, the answer remains to be unclear. According to reports, actor Robert Downey Jr. has been sitting on interviews, but still has not said anything about a possible Iron Man 4.

Marvel has announced the films that will be added to the MCU, but unfortunately, the fourth instalment of Iron Man is not on the list. If absence of news about the Iron Man 4 film continues, Tony Stark fans might have to wait another 5 years, at least, to see him on screen.

Even though having Iron Man 4 is reportedly unlikely, fans might want to anticipate his role in 'Captain America 3: Civil War' instead. In the film, he will stand against Captain America, while the story revolves around a mandated law by different governments around the world that aims to regulate anyone who has unique powers.

Aside from Captain Ameriac 3: Civil War, rumors indicate that the billionaire hero might also appear in Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Guardians of the Galaxy. Although those rumors also suggest that his appearances might be minor and might not develop Iron Man's character.

Actor Robert Downey Jr has reportedly been going to interviews mostly to talk about his latest film, Avengers: Age of Ultron. While most fans are probably waiting for him to talk about Iron Man 4, RDJ has not given any word about it yet.

In one of the interviews, he even had to walk out since the interviewer went off the topic, and eagerly pushed on getting him to talk about his past and struggles with addiction. RDJ's action reportedly got commended by the press as they agreed that the interviewer went beyond the appropriate limits with his questions.

Although it would be great if Iron Man returns to the big screen for a fourth instalment, fans will still be able to see him in other Marvel movies, if ever Iron Man 4 does not happen. One of those movies is Captain America 3: Civil War which is set to hit theaters in May 2016.
