Last week on Ellen, actor Robert Downey Jr. revealed absolutely
nothing about the highly speculated Iron Man 4. Unfortunately, that was more than
enough to every other site to go on a click-bait rampage and announcing that
the actor had just confirmed that there was going to be a fourth entry in the
Iron Man franchise.
Well since the "announcement", the actor has
been going on a sort of debunking tour with one news organization after another.
The latest was with The Telegraph, who grabbed the opportunity of speaking with
the actor about The Judge, and pressed him about Iron Man 4.
“Avengers was
another opportunity, but they’re not talking about Iron Man 4,” RDJ said. “I was kind of bombed out to tell the truth, but maybe they’ve got
bigger fish to fry and I trust their overall vision. The funny thing about
these genre movies is you’d think they were national secrets.”
Downey was then asked about the superhero genre, and
other non-Marvel cinematic universes.
“Honestly, the whole thing is just showing the
beginning signs of fraying around the edges. It’s a little bit old... Last
summer there were five or seven different ones out. I feel that they are
critiqued by a different metric to any other movie. Right, [that metric is box
office], but also they are more forgiven because they operate on a different
frequency. It’s like a bunch of really good dancers and you’re looking for the
one who keeps changing her leg warmers. They make a lot of money.”
In a different interview, this time with Social
Chicago TV, the actor was asked about what we can expect from Avengers: Age of
Ultron.
“This new Avengers may well be the best
Marvel movie, and by the way that’s saying a lot, because I thought Guardians
of the Galaxy was great,” he
said. “And Iron Man 3 turned
out great, and Cap 2 was
awesome. And they’ll be some surprises in the next little while too.”
Marvel Studios presents Avengers: Age of Ultron, the
epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark
tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s
Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible
Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the
planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The
Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances
and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.
Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey
Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris
Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett
Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional
support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria
Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying
technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they
confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by
Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet
an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision.
Written and directed by Joss Whedon and produced by
Kevin Feige, Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron is based on the ever-popular
Marvel comic book series The Avengers, first published in 1963. Get set for an
action-packed thrill ride when The Avengers return in Marvel’s Avengers:Age of
Ultron on May 1, 2015.
