Robert Downey Jr . makes a lot of off the cuff remarks when doing press, but his latest comment got everyone wondering if he was kidding or not.

At Wednesday's press conference for Marvel's The Avengers , the Iron Man star said they were going to shoot one last scene that night, which was the night of the film's premiere. Director Joss Whedon said Downey was kidding, while Marvel Studios honcho and Avengers producer Kevin Feige is said to have looked visibly irritated by Downey's remark.

So Downey was just joking, right? Not according to his co-star, Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo , who confirmed the shoot for The Playlist : "We're shooting a scene tonight. I'm not sure exactly where it's gonna go. All I know is that someone came in with the costume and said, 'Here's some wardrobe. We don't know where you're going to be or what you're doing.'"So are we looking at a post-credits coda setting up Captain America 2, Thor 2 or Iron Man 3 , the latter of which is the next Marvel film set to go before cameras? We'll find out when Avengers opens May 4.Speaking of Iron Man 3 , Downey spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about it at Wednesday's Avengers premiere. For the threequel, don't expect Stark to be as relentlessly glib as he was in Iron Man 2 and Avengers."There's a little bit of a return to that, I think, just for entertainment's sake, in the Avengers, which is appropriate," said Downey. "But for Iron Man 3, we are going to back to the exploration of this character, which is what made the franchise work to begin with."
