Robert Downey Jr. and the Iron Man
At the moment, Robert Downey Jr. is the man of the moment. He has seen enormous sucess with his franchise Iron Man films . With one of the most powerful franchises in his hand, Iron Man, if it were up to Marvel, they would have a new Iron Man film out every year, since the last film was a billion dollar hit.
But for now, all parties involved are holding steadfast on Downey Jr.’s contract, which specifies; two more Avengers films and no further solo Iron Man adventures.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Downey reveals that he’s absolutely up for more, but that it depends on “negotiations.”
Robert Downey Jr. said: “It’s down to Kevin and Ike and Disney to come to us with what the proposal is, and that’s on us to agree or disagree. When things are going great, there’s a lot of agreement… It’s that thing of: Why give up the belt when it feels like you can barely get jabbed?”
Robert Downey finished 2013 as the year’s highest paid actor due to the massive $75 million he earned through deals in “Iron Man 3.” He’ll receive a similar amount for next year’s “Avengers: Age Of Ultron,” provided the film performs up to expectations and makes a comical amount of money.
Outside of that, Downey Jr.’s career is going swimmingly: later this year he’s got “The Judge” and he can always return to the Sherlock Holmes films. Beyond that, it seems certain we can find an A-List director willing to work with him. That Robert Downey Jr. is sure to brace the theaters with something new for his fans to go watch.
