Deadline recently caught up with Tony Stark himself Robert Downey Jr while he was promoting his most recent film The Judge. Once again the actor was asked about Iron Man 4 which is yet to happen because Downey is only contractually obligated to show up in Avengers: Age of Ultron and Avengers 3 not Iron Man 4. Well, the actor reveals that if Marvel got Downey's longtime friend Mel Gibson to direct Iron Man 4 he would be down to return:
DEADLINE: Marvel badly wants Iron Man 4 and you’ve said you aren’t doing it. How about the idea you’ll do that movie if Mel directs it?Now this is by no means any type of confirmation but least it's something for you Iron Man fans!
DOWNEY: Correct.
DEADLINE: Is that our headline?
DOWNEY: Why not? That movie would be bananas.
Iron Man 3 is on DVD & Blu-Ray Today!
