“Iron Man Will Return.” + Avengers 3

After a few weeks of speculation (and lots of unfriendly/friendly negotiation), Marvel announced this morning that Robert Downey Jr. and the Disney-owned studio have come to an agreement.
And so it is official as of this morning – Robert Downey Jr. will indeed reprise his role as the “billionaire, genius, playboy, philanthropist” for two more films. What are those two films, you ask?
Well, Marvel also announced that to be “Marvel’s The Avengers 2” and “Marvel’s The Avengers 3.” Yes, there will be 3 Avengers films, folks! But before we even start thinking of #3, we must focus on #2. Production for Avengers 2 will begin in March 2014 with a release date set for May 1, 2015 and Marvel fans will rejoice knowing now that Downey Jr. is here to stay and will continue to say…
“I am Iron Man.”
