Robert Downey Jr. did not give a direct answer when asked about reports spreading that Ty Simpkins, the child actor who appeared in Iron Man 3, will be Ironman in the film's Part 4. Before that though, whoever will be portray Ironman might appear in the "Spiderman" reboot.
FIRM AS IRON
It has been repeatedly rumoured that thirteen year old Ty Simpkins, who in Ironman 3 later on became the superhero's sidekick, will take on as Tony Stark in Iron Man 4. When asked about this, Robert Downey Jr., who has been playing the said role since the first instalment, gave Vine Report an elusive answer. The actor, who has never confirmed nor denied if he will still reprise his role, again left fans hanging by saying he just fancies the idea that it would be up to him to decide as if he were a casting director for Marvel.
IRONMAN & SPIDERMAN?
While it remains confirmed that Ironman will be seen in "Captain America: Civil War", "Avengers: Infinity War Part 1", "Avenger: Infinity War Part 2" in 2016, 2018 and 2019 respectively, this would mean Iron Man will be seen on a yearly basis starting next year. This is because Master Herald reports that Iron Man may also make an appearance in the "Spiderman" reboot which is slated for 2017. If this will push through, this will be part of Iron Man's welcome to the Marvel cinematic universe.
Comic Book Resources reports that RDJ had undergone an extensive public contract extension two years ago after the release of "Iron Man 3". Under the contract, Downey will be in two more Marvel Movies which are "Avengers 2" and "Avengers 3". The "Iron Man 3" movie also had a closure which led Robert Downey Jr. to announce late last year that there will be no "Iron Man 4" at all.
With everything still under wraps until now, fans could only wish that Robert Downey Jr., the Tony Star joker that he is, is just teasing fans and will in fact still be in "Iron Man 4".
