Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man
While it’s an all-star cast, Downey’s been given the thumbs up as the mega-star among his assembled superhero club.
“It was like a complicated pregnancy,” says Downey, adding, “What was fun was everybody really bought into the spirit of the thing.” It’s uncertain whether Downey will be back as Stark after his next, Iron Man 3, either in another solo film or a second Avengers tale. But he feels he has a vested interest in the superhero business.
“It’s dumb not to be open to possibilities, you know?” I kind of almost feel like a shareholder in the company,” he says.
