Robert Downey Jr. just inked an extensive deal with Marvel Studios that will have him not only suiting up for two more Iron Man films, but also reprising the role of Tony Stark and his heavy-metal alter ego in the upcoming superhero all-stars film The Avengers, reports Variety.
While planning for Iron Man 2 has been in full swing for some time, with the most recent announcement being that Don Cheadle will be playing Col. James Rhodes instead of Terrence Howard, Marvel had not confirmed that Downey and director Jon Favreau would be back.
Well, not only will Favreau be behind the camera again, but he will also serve as a producer on The Avengers(not to be confused with the 1998 film of the same name starring Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman), featuring the Marvel characters Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Captain America and Thor.
Awesome!
