Robert Downey Jr Would Do ‘Iron Man’ 4, If Mel Gibson Was Allowed To Direct
Any Iron Man fans who might have had an emotional meltdown over the prospect of Robert Downey Jr not returning for a fourth movie can now dry their eyes, as it seems a compromise may have be found. The only problem is, that compromise involves Marvel allowing troubled actor Mel Gibson to step behind the camera.

Last month Downey told Variety that he had “no plans” for a fourth Iron Man instalment. “There isn’t one in the pipe,” he said. “No, there’s no plan for a fourth Iron Man.”
The actor has however signed with Marvel and Disney for two Avengers sequels which will be coming to theatres summer 2015 and 2018. But as for Iron Man 4, the ball’s now in your court Marvel.
