Downey Jr. is signed on through Avengers: Infinity War. Speaking to USA Today , the actor said after Captain America: Civil War "it's back to the thing we all recognize. Everything pulls over to the side of the road when the thunder of an Avengers thing comes through because that's how it is until it changes. If it changes."The man behind the mask has flip-flopped on the subject for a while now. In September of 2014, Downey Jr. said there wasn't a fourth Iron Man film in the works, but backtracked on that during a television appearance in October of the same year. "I know there's gonna be a bunch more Marvel movies and...they have big ideas of how to do it best, and we're in the middle of negotiations, and blah blah blah..." Downey Jr. said.Captain America: Civil War debuts in theaters on May 6. Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 is slated to release to theaters on May 4, 2018, with Part 2 following on May 9, 2019. Fans should expect Infinity War to shake things up. Executive producer Jeremy Latcham has said the film won't be " the end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe , but [he] think[s] it is the end of part of it for sure." Whether it's the end of Tony Stark as we know him, we'll have to wait and see.
