Captain America 3 To Feature Robert Downey Jr: Is Marvel Paving The Way For Civil War?
Yes news outlets went wild this week as it was announced that Robert Downey Jr will now feature prominently in Captain American 3. Yes you just can't keep Tony Stark out of Marvel's cinematic universe, first he steals the creation of Ultron and now he is muscling his way into Steve Rodgers stand alone film. Due for a May 2016 release Captain America 3 will follow on from the rumoured carnage at the end of Avengers: Age Of Ultron (2015), thus making Downey's "major" role even more intriguing.
It doesn't seem to be just fans cashing in on this deal, as RDJ will be set to rake in around $40 million from this part.
However, fan excitement surrounding this story was amplified as this Monday Marvel Entertainment issued a tweet simply stating #CivilWar. With that in mind, the casting of Tony Stark in Captain America 3 hints toward this iconic storyline, which places Captain America against Iron Man over the superhero registration act, looking all the more likely. Therefore, it's safe to assume that Marvel fans will be entertained for many years to come, as the cinematic movie machine seems to be taking a new unexpected turn into Civil War!
