During an interview with Extra, Robert Downey Jr. stated that “anything could happen” when asked if he was truly finished playing Iron Man. However, Robert Downey Jr. added that he considers himself to be done with the Iron Man role and that he’s looking forward to seeing the new projects from Marvel:
