Robert Downey Jr. to Return to Marvel's AVENGERS Franchise?

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. has agreed to renegotiate with Marvel Studios for future appearances in their films. The report reveals that the actor has met with Kevin Feige and other Marvel executives this week to begin laying out The Details for his return.

Sources say that the actor will make a return as the character in the upcoming Avengers 2 and a third "Avengers" film. A fourth Iron Man film was said to not be included in the talks as it is uncertain whether or not Downey Jr. is interested in another stand-alone feature as the character.

In addition it was revealed yesterday that Marvel is developing a third "Avengers" movie, as well as a new Ms. Marvel film and a reboot of the character Blade. Other films in development at Marvel include Doctor Strange, Iron Fist, Black Panther and The Runaways. No production dates were released.

Kevin Feige spoke with Collider and said there are currently no plans to make spin-off films for the characters War Machine (played by Don Cheadle) or The Falcon (Anthony Mackie in the upcoming Captain America: The Winter Soldier).
