Robert Downey Jr. Just Revealed the Fate of ‘Iron Man 4’

Will there be yet another Iron Man installment?

Sadly, no. At least if Robert Downey Jr. is to be believed. Variety got ahold of him at the Toronto Film Festival recently for an interview, where he broke the news.

“There isn’t one in the pipe,” said Downey Jr. “No, there’s no plan for a fourth Iron Man.”

He did mention that he’s signed on for at least two more Avengers sequels. That includes “Age of Ultron,” which will be coming out next May. As well as the third Avengers film in 2018.

This is important news because Iron Man is the first of Marvel films to open during the “Marvel Cinematic Universe.” It was the first to complete a trilogy (with Captain America, Thor, and perhaps even Hulk to finish their own within the next few years).

If there won’t be an Iron Man 4, then should we also believe that the rest of the MCU films will follow suit?

Fourth installments are rarely successful, with films like Rocky IV being the rare exception. It makes sense why Marvel Studios would want to shy from over saturating these franchises, and the fact that Disney is really running the show is important to note. Disney is, after all, notorious for avoiding big budget/big screen sequels.

Still, this could mean that we won’t see a standalone Iron Man film for a long time. Perhaps as a reboot with a new actor. And right now, it’s hard to imagine anyone besides Robert Downey Jr. being the man inside that armor.

A Transformers Fan Put Together A Video Of Every Transformation From The Movies (And It’s Amazing)

My brain may have hated the Transformers movies (it hates anything that causes headaches and Shia Labeouf), but my heart will always have a place for watching large robots beat the crap out of each other in stunning HD.

Someone I assume to be the world’s biggest Transformers fan with video editing skills agrees with me that the only aspect of the Michael Bay movies that really brought us to theaters was the transformations, so this fan put together a video that features every single transformation from the first movie to Dark of The Moon.

It’s 10 minutes long, but I suspect that you’ll watch it all the way through. I did, and I’d rather go to sleep tonight not believing that I’m the only person who could actually sit through the awesome that is this video.

Enjoy:
