Marvel Movies: Joss Whedon teases Iron Man for The Avengers 2

After Marvel successfully cast back Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/ Iron Man in The Avengers 2 and The Avengers 3, director Joss Whedon isn't pulling the stops in teasing things to come for Earth's Mightiest Heroes in 2015. Stopping by The Colbert Report this week, the director discusses some things on what fans can expect from Ol' Shellhead in the teamup sequel, as well as what the fallout from this year's Iron Man 3 would mean for the armored avenger.

Marvel Movies: Robert Downey Jr. will officially return as Iron Man for The Avengers 2 & 3

After rumors, speculation, and wonder as to what the future of Tony Stark and Iron Man would be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Robert Downey Jr.'s latest adventure this year with Iron Man 3, Marvel has officially given the word:

RDJ WILL RETURN AS TONY STARK IN THE AVENGERS 2 & THE AVENGERS 3.

That being said, that clears up the worries and we'll be seeing more RDJ/ Tony with Earth's Mightiest Heroes starting with the 2015 sequel to the 2012 blockbuster team up that was "The Avengers".

No word on whether  RDJ's suiting up for more solo Iron Man adventures, but this is already awesome news as it is. Maybe somewhere down along the line, but with the other big guns of Marvel, that's a great start for Downey's comeback as Ol' Shellhead.
