Robert Downey Jr de retour dans Avengers 2 et 3

Il est (toujours) Iron Man !

Après la sortie de Iron Man 3 (l'un des plus gros succès de l'année avec plus de 1,2 milliards de dollars de recettes au box-office mondial), Robert Downey Jr avait laissé plané le doute sur sa participation aux prochains films Marvel, son contrat avec le studio étant arrivé à son terme.

Quelques semaines de négotiations plus tard, Marvel vient d'annoncer officiellement que l'acteur endossera de nouveau l'armure d'Iron Man pour deux films supplémentaires : Avengers 2 et 3.




Le communiqué de Marvel Studios :

 

“I am Iron Man.” 

Tony Stark’s famous closing line to the very first Iron Man film takes on new life today as Marvel is pleased to announce the signing of Robert Downey, Jr. to reprise the role of the “billionaire, genius, playboy, philanthropist.” 

Under the two-picture agreement, Downey will star as Tony Stark/Iron Man in “Marvel’s The Avengers 2” and “Marvel’s The Avengers 3.” Downey is represented at CAA by Bryan Lourd, Jim Toth and Matt Leaf and by his attorneys Tom Hansen and Stewart Brookman of the firm Hansen Jacobson. 

Downey, Jr.’s last two Marvel films, 2012’s “Marvel’s The Avengers” and this year’s “Iron Man 3,” rank as two of the top five grossing films of all time, collectively earning over $2.7 billion worldwide to date. 

“Marvel’s The Avengers 2” is being written and directed by Joss Whedon. Featuring favorites from the first Avengers film and new Marvel characters never before seen on the big screen, “Marvel’s The Avengers 2” is slated to begin production in March 2014 and open in theaters May 1, 2015.
