The actor finally admits he's starring in the sequel

For the past months, Robert Downy Jr. has been playing an elaborate game of cat and mouse with the media relating to the upcoming movie in the Iron Man series. He never really admitted to doing the movie, then he claimed he wasn't going to do it at all, and last week he said he was only going to do it if Mel Gibson directed.

Now, talk show presenter Ellen DeGeneres, who is clearly a fan of the movies, painted the actor into a corner and would not let him be until he admitted to doing the fourth Iron Man movie, which he eventually did, but not before he tried to weasel out of the question.

Robert was on Ellen to talk about his upcoming movie, “The Judge,” which is his first small project in a long time, after the success of his franchises “Iron Man” and “Sherlock Holmes,” but Ellen grilled him on that exact topic.

“We’re in the middle of negotiation, blah blah blah,” Downey said. But Ellen stared him in the eyes and asked again “So yes?” to which he replied with a sigh “Okay, yes.”

Some have pointed out that Robert only confirmed that there's going to be an “Iron Man 4” not that he was starring in it, but he was in fact referring to his participation to the project, so it's safe to say that he'll be putting on the Iron Man suit at least one more time.
