Robert Downey Jr. says “it would probably be the best thing in the world for me” if someone else plays Tony Stark.
“You know, ego … but sometimes ego just has to be smashed. Let’s see what happens. I take the audience very seriously - I feel bad when I see folks doing movies and the audience is like, ‘Don’t do that anymore.’ I don’t have to overstay my welcome.”
“There’s a little bit of soul reclamation going on. I feel that the first time I played Tony, I did it best. Sorry! The affinity with Tony now is: how do you sustain something? I’m not stupid, I like to play ball, I love the company, I love the character, and the business side of things, I’m not too picky about that either.
We talked about this before and he will definitely be in Avengers 2, but after?
I don't know.
Feels like Robert is not sure about it either.
Thing I know - I don't want another Tony Stark.
