Robert Downey Jr. doesn’t often reveal much, but he gave a little bit of info on the possibility of a second Iron Man film and who may or may not make a cameo appearance in it.
IESB got a few words with the star:
“Our goals are more of the same. The idea that he said he’s Iron Man in part 1…it’s one thing to say it, and it’s another thing to actually evolve to the point where you can live in a heroic fashion. You know, they say, ‘The superhero movie always needs to follow…’ and I said who is that guy? Get him out of here! We want to do what worked for us last time, in a way that evolves. We’re talking about a guy who is put in an extraordinary circumstance, and the people that are around him, and how that creates a sense of family, and how that disrupts whatever forces that we have to say that are working [in his life]. I like the idea of an Iron Man 2 that you’re able to understand various points of view. You’re able to touch on some subjects that are a lot more far reaching, while still grounding it in entertainment.”
Latino Review also happened to get a very short interview with Downey:
During the course of the interview Iron Man 2 was brought up by one of the journalists:
Downey: Iron Man 2 is in the works.
It’s not going to be with the Hulk is it?
Downey: No.
Hmmm…not enough info me, so I wanted to dig a bit deeper, see what I could get out of him, so I asked more about the sequel:
But have ideas been thrown around for other cameos, since there’s an Avengers project in the works?
Downey: Ya, it’s a big world. It’s kind of hard to navigate because you want to be able to set up The Avengers in Iron Man 2, but you don’t want to um….
Take the focus off of Iron Man?
Downey: Ever. [laughs] It’s such a big leap, before we were grounded in reality and now we’re starting to go into the Marvel Universe. I don’t know much about this, I just know that we go scene to scene to scene, and we have some great scenes which I think will be really surprising at how we took all of this goodwill and this success and we decided to do something ever more kind of risky and something that represents the way Jon thinks and the way I like to develop a character. So, it’s going to be good.
Have other heroes been mentioned about making an appearance? Captain America? Thor?
Downey: I can neither confirm nor deny that. Honestly, nothing’s set in stone right now.
