Iron Man Sequels The Official Iron Man 4 News, Speculation, Images, etc

Another vote for Favs here. He really immerses you completely in the IM world and movie-verse, and he has a lot of love for the character.

Bring on Iron Man 4vreau. We need it.

Honestly after Tony in IM3 and to a lesser extent in Civil War, That's who I'd need to get me interested in an IM4.
 
Bring back Favreau to direct and Dwajadi to score. Everything that made IM1 one of the best superhero films should be implemented in the final IM movie (if it happens). No to freakin' Harley!!! Hated his character.
Favreau had the best vision for IM's suits, too. Gotta do the real Mandarin here.

No we don't. I'd rather see a new Iron Monger just to have Downey's final Iron Man film come full circle. Adapt Five Nightmares + Armor Wars. Introduce Ghost as a secondary antagonist and have Tony become not only bankrupt but a fugitive after he takes the law into his own hands to stop anyone creating a new Iron Man armor after Zeke Stane leaked his schematics onto the internet. Tony gets a rematch with Captain America with Tony coming out on top this time, betrays War Machine and we see a montage where he defeats Beetle and Controller. Since this is Tony at his most desperate, he injects himself with a modified strain of Extremis which gives Tony not only technopathy but also healing powers and if it doesn't kill him, it's outright stated that he'll look 15 years younger within a month.

The end of Iron Man 4 should be based on the arc from the comics where Tony faked his own death. We see Tony's armor explode and get a new Tony Stark in a War Machine spin-off where it's some completely unannounced casting and meant to be completely unexpected. War Machine fights Mandarin and Fin Fang Foom.
 
Going broke was done in TDKR. Too soon, imo. Don't want to see that again.
 
I have been saying this for the last couple years: after Avengers: Infinity War (or Avengers 4), RDJ should do one last solo movie. Give the character that started the MCU a proper send off. The movie should be 100% focused on him and should end with him riding in the sunset with Pepper (or Hot May (jk)). Having the movie directed by Favreau would be a dream come true and be an opportunity for some "redemption" (although I don't think the movie is as bad as people make it out to be) for Iron Man 2.

Plots could be
- The real Mandarin and the 10 Rings
- Zeke Stane as some have suggested. Think a newer younger Tony with far less morales.
- A continuation of the Extremis storyline with Maya Hanson somehow surviving and finally getting that villain role she deserved.
-Madame Masque as a secondary villain for any of these stories would be cool.

Please no white guys in suits.
 
I am totally here for Iron Man 4 regardless of who's directing (I've enjoyed ALL THREE of the Iron Man movies). Jon Favreau coming back would make me even more excited, though.
 
I don't know how they could do Madame Masque. They already used Whitney Frost in Agent Carter and she wasn't Masque at all. Unless MM is someone else now.
 
A tribute to the three Iron Man films using... Iron Man by Black Sabbath:

I just want to see War Machine having a bigger and more vital role. I honestly enjoyed more of him in Civil War than his Iron Man appearances.
 
War Machine has his own film. It stars Brad Pitt. :o
 
If the real Mandarin were to show up it wouldn't make any difference because wasn't Killian revealed to be the real Mandarin in Iron Man 3
 
Yeah but even so after they ruined the Mandarin I think it is safe to say a 4th Iron Man should not happen

Shane Black improved the Mandarin by throwing out the disgusting racist stereotype, giving the fake Mandarin a manipulative political spin and creating a villain (Killian) with terrifying powers. This Mandarin was a million times better than the insulting comic book version.

As opposed to this:

And I f***ing loved the fact that Pepper was the one who killed the man who tortured her.

War Machine has his own film. It stars Brad Pitt. :o

That's not a Marvel film and it is not connected to the MCU.

The main reason why IM4 isn't happening is Marvel has other heroes to build a trilogy. While Iron Man would just appear in Avengers and other solo films from now on, to increase interest to those films.

That doesn't look any worse than a million white villains, especially during the Silver Age.

Meanwhile modern Mandarin looks like this:

The Mandarin isn't a racist stereotype. He just uses standard comic tropes that people misinterpret as racist because the caricatured nature of comics lends itself to that misinterpretation.
Kingpin is a crimelord who is also a giant sumo martial artist. He'd be misinterpreted by many to be racist if he were Asian, because he combines two standard comic tropes with their exaggerated, over-the-top nature.
Batman is a scientist who is also a ninja. He'd be misinterpreted as racist if he wasn't white, because he combines two stereotyped images of Asians. But in fact he's just a combination of two standard comic tropes, and would continue to be so if he were Asian.
Iron Man is a scientist who also builds robots and flies around in a mini-mech. He'd be misinterpreted as racist if he were Asian, especially if he were Japanese, but in fact he is just a combination of standard comics tropes.
Martian Manhunter is the perpetually foreign, passive, vaguely mystical advisor type in most stories. He'd be misinterpreted as racist if he weren't alien, especially if he were black, but in fact he's just a standard comic trope.
Very, very few comics characters don't fit into a racist stereotype, because the broad, over-the-top tropes used by comics are fairly similar to the broad caricatured images of various races.
The result if that if you insist on non-white characters being completely devoid of anything that could be misinterpreted as racist, you effectively ban non-whites from comics, and you especially ban Asians from a genre swarming with scientists, martial artists, and crimelords.

Late reply but relatively new to the forum. This is just what I was thinking. I think an IM4 with closure would be a good way to end things (I don't see Stark dying in Infinity War, but who knows?) for all of the characters involved. To me, it feels just feels right to have the man who helped start all of this get one last big flick.
 
I would only do a forth one in they get the FF. Then they can do Doomquest...can't think of another Iron Man story that I'd really care to see besides that one.
 
I can only see RDJ doing cameos in films as Stark if only because of Infinity War
 
I too want Iron Man 4, preferably with Favreau directing.
 
I would love to see a final Iron Man film written and directed by Martin McDonagh, the writer and director of the brilliant In Bruges. Just the thought of Robert Downey Jr. delivering that kind of dialogue ... :hmr:
 
Tony proposing to Pepper in Homecoming it makes me wonder if in IM4 if they will be married by then?

Actually, I think them doing it in Homecoming makes Iron Man 4 less likely. That was a plot point they could have used. I feel like Iron Man 4 will never materialize, at least with RDJ.
 
IM4 I don't see how it can even materialize especially when it was proven that Slattery was not even the real Mandarin Killian was revealed to be the real brains behind The Mandarin hell he was revealed to be The Mandarin so how can you work around that? You can't

I don't see why this means they can't make an Iron Man 4, they can just use a different villain, they are done with The Mandarin.
