Roger Moore was never the star that Robert Downey Jr is. Take Bond away from Moore and he has nothing other than the occasional parody role or tv appearance on spy shows. Take Iron Man away from Downey, though, and he's still got Sherlock Holmes, Due Date, The Soloist, Tropic Thunder, etc. Iron Man reinvigorated his career but it's not the only thing in his career.
And a baseless assumption is one with nothing to support it. The fact that he signed a 6 picture deal is plenty to base an assumption on. Just look at Chris Evans. He's nowhere near the star that Downey is and much younger, and Marvel very nearly couldn't get him to sign a deal because originally they wanted him for a 9 picture deal and he was completely unwilling to commit to that, so they knocked it down to 6 films. If Chris Evans is unwilling to do more than six movies, then why would RDJ, who's a bigger star and who's getting older, be willing to go for more?
And even if he does, the point remains that at least one of the main actors will be dropping out after Avengers 3. Whether it's Downey, Hemsworth, or Evans, at least one of them will decide they don't want to continue after they fulfill their 6-picture deal. In which case Marvel's either going to have to write that character out of Avengers 4 or recast the role. So yeah, I firmly believe that Marvel's going to want to end Avengers 3 with a bang while they're certain they'll still have of their main players.
Seriously, though, do you really think it's a coincidence that Marvel is having actors signing movie deals that're divisible by 3? It's because they have trilogies in mind.
