    Iron Man

    Character » Iron Man appears in 11191 issues.

    Tony Stark was the arrogant son of wealthy, weapon manufacturer Howard Stark. Tony cared only about himself, but he would have a change of heart after he was kidnapped by terrorists and gravely injured. Pressured to create a weapon of mass destruction, Stark instead created a suit of armor powerful enough for him to escape. Tony used his vast resources and intellect to make the world a better place as The Invincible Iron Man. Stark's super hero identity led him to become a founding member of the Avengers.

    I loved all the films, and yes, even the last one. It showed outlying characters in a really great light outside of Tony Stark and the story was in depth, creative and engrossing.

    Having said that, knowing when to quit while you're ahead is usually a good thing to have. I would be on board for an Iron Man 4, but if Mr. Downey says no, so be it. It won't end anything, just his participation in it as a headlining actor.

    Sad... I was really hoping a sequel to show the real Mandrin. Of well, this makes me believe that he will die in next avengers. Or could be Steve. One of them definitely.

    I'm fine with that, mostly because I think IM3 really showed there is general a lack of imagination on the writers part for these movies, it's just going to be more of the same in a 4th installment.

    I'd still like RDJr to reprise his role as Iron Man in either the Avengers film (like he is for the second film) as well as any future Iron Man films but I do agree that other characters should receive more of the spotlight.

    Hopefully they don't recast him. They should just leave this as a trilogy if your going to recast him.

    @chocolatefrogs: That idea sounds great tbh. He'd be like the badass veteran Avenger and have a really cool suit at the last battle.

    "Are they really going to let the crappy, underdeveloped, never-shoulda-happened, crappy villain'ed, subplot-solved-to-easily, crappy-armor-having, piece of chicken$#!% called "Iron Man 3" be Shellhead's last solo movie?"

    You've got the main idea of IM3...

    @amazingwebhead: Bloody well hope not, it was, to be fair, rubbish.

    I hope Downey Jr. gets replaced because frankly he's always been too old for the role anyway. Seeing Dominic Cooper as Howard Stark in The First Avenger, he should play Tony in the next installment, and is a much better fit.

    Plus they should stop making Stark such a comedian.

    Well, recasting worked for Rhodey and Banner.

    Don't know why people are asking what happens after Thanos, it's obvious. Civil War will happen eventually.

    I was simply stating that rather than going cosmic after avengers 3 that they need to bring it back down to Earth, and civil war makes sense.

    Despite his age. They could set Iron Man on the shelf for several years and then make an Iron Man 4, I think time will heal and make people look forward to an Iron man 4 after several years of not seeing him. He will be older so maybe he could be Stark and then do a couple of upper body or face shots with him in the mask and have someone else in the suit. Thus limiting his time for filming. That may be appealing to him. Like in the comics how he has a brother it could be a hand off to him to take over the suit. I mean hell if after 30 years you can get Fisher, Ford and Hamill to reprise their roles I am sure they could get RDJ to reprise his role 10 years after Iron Man 3 if not a bit sooner.Even Ford after the Bomb of Indiana Jones 4 is up for the 5th movie.
