Robert Downey Jr Signed for Avengers 2 and 3

There were plenty of rumors surrounding this news. My favorite, and most plausible, was that Robert Downey Jr was a bit disgusted with the pay his Avengers co-stars were getting, so he used a re-negotiation to get them a better rate. Whatever the truth behind the story may me, one thing is for certain today. ROBERT DOWNEY JR IS IRON MAN!! ...at least for 2 more movies.

Marvel.com reports...

Under the two-picture agreement, Downey will star as Tony Stark/Iron Man in “Marvel’s The Avengers 2” and “Marvel’s The Avengers 3.” Downey is represented at CAA by Bryan Lourd, Jim Toth and Matt Leaf and by his attorneys Tom Hansen and Stewart Brookman of the firm Hansen Jacobson.

“Marvel’s The Avengers 2” is being written and directed by Joss Whedon. Featuring favorites from the first Avengers film and new Marvel characters never before seen on the big screen, “Marvel’s The Avengers 2” is slated to begin production in March 2014 and open in theaters May 1, 2015.
So this begs the question....no Iron Man 4? I suppose this also means no cameo or straight up appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy (another rumor floating around the interwebs). Can't wait to hear what comes next!
