Rumors about “Iron Man 4” are getting more exciting, and the film might include some surprising appearances if what we’re currently hearing turns out to be true. One of the more recent claims that we’ve heard is that Chris Evans could show up in the film, as the actor has apparently expressed interest in joining the production if it does indeed get greenlit.
This could have some interesting implications for other parts of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is why some fans have been discussing the possibility with more interest. If this does indeed happen, it could mean that Captain America will survive the events of “Civil War”, and this alone has led some fans to talk about the future of the film side of the Marvel Universe with a new perspective lately, as there are some peculiar possibilities for how things might turn out if this is the situation in the end.
“Iron Man 4” is going to be an important release in this franchise for multiple reasons, and it’s not just about bringing focus back to this side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe – the last two films that came out under this name were a bit of a disappointment for some fans and because of this, people have high hopes for what “Iron Man 4” might do and how it could change the landscape. It’s very possible that the franchise could get back under the spotlight if the fourth installment is done properly, but there are many factors that have to fall in place for this to work out.
There are also claims that Robert Downey Jr. apparently asked for more money to make an appearance in the film, and this could have some rather negative implications for him. It’s possible that we might see him in “Iron Man 4”, but on the other hand it’s also possible that Disney may decide to just get someone else in the role too. It wouldn’t be the first time this has happened in the studio’s history, as some publications have pointed out, and it would also make sense from the perspective of their approach to business.
It’s even been said that the negotiations for Downey Jr.’s salary have been the main reason for the delay of the film’s announcement, but considering that we’ve been hearing those rumors for a few months now, we’re starting to doubt whether or not that’s the actual reason why “Iron Man 4” hasn’t arrived to the screen yet. It’s entirely possible that there are other factors at play too, including ones that we know nothing about, and if the film does get announced it could also come with some changes to the setup and cast. These changes could be motivated by a desire to make this a relatively low-risk production by taking away some of the factors that led to the downfall of the previous two installments in the franchise. Looking back, it could probably be determined why “Iron Man 2” and 3 were not as popular as the first one, and what could have been done wrong.
It’s also interesting to note that the possibilities for seeing an “Iron Man” film with an even more interesting configuration nowadays are even greater, as lately we’ve started to see franchises getting mixed up in some very curious ways. As some critics have pointed out, superheroes have started to appear in each other’s productions quite regularly now and we might see some interesting mixes later on.

Just sign-up for Iron Man 4 already RDJ! You don’t need that much money! Iron Man 4 should be RDJ’s last Marvel movie. Iron Man 4 should be the final Iron Man film. We don’t want Robert Downey jr. to get recast! Robert Downey jr. IS truly Iron Man! He IS truly Tony Stark! Robert Downey jr. is irreplaceable for this role! Recasts are stupid, old, and annoying! I am so sick and tired of characters being recast, especially Marvel characters. Robert Downey jr. is not only a great actor, but he is also a very valuable actor. He’s even more than an actor, he is Iron Man! Tony Stark still has unfinished business with the REAL Mandarin. We need to see Iron Man (RDJ) face the REAL Mandarin Iron Man 4! We need to see Tony Stark build the Rescue armor for Pepper Potts in Iron Man 4. Pepper Potts needs to become Rescue in the movie. Iron Man and Rescue should team-up and fight and kill ALL of the Ten Rings soldiers in Iron Man 4! Iron Man needs to have a long, epic showdown with the REAL Mandarin in Iron Man 4 after he and Rescue kill the entire Ten Rings organization. Iron Man needs to be the one ending up killing the REAL Mandarin in Iron Man 4. After Iron Man kills the REAL Mandarin, Tony Stark proposes to Pepper Potts and asks her to marry him, and then she accepts his marriage proposal. Tony Stark gets married to Pepper Potts and her new official name is Virginia “Pepper” Stark. Then Tony and Pepper Stark live happily ever after. The end. Iron Man 4 would make a perfect quadrilogy finale to the Iron Man Quadrilogy.
